My weight loss has come to almost an absolute standstill. No clue what the deal is...frustrating! I'm so close to "ONE-derland", but I can't get there! ARGH! I'm excercising like crazy, too! I don't know what I'm doing wrong! My body fat is droppin like crazy, but the weight is static.

Venting aside, I need to figure this out if I am going to be successful at this challenge. I'd love it if I could do it before my vacation at the beginning of November, but right now all I'm doing is treading Water.< /strong>

Has anyone discussed this with their doctors/nutritionists/nurses? Any suggestions?

Pft. My scales had me UP 4 pounds to 350 this morning!!! I'm gonna SCREAM!!! But I haven't exercised in almost 2 weeks now, so I'm sure thats it. Either way... I will wait a few days and see if that number drops again... or else I will have to adjust my goal!!!

Hey there Stef...how long have you been at a stand still? If it's more than two weeks, ya might think about changing up the exercise routine and eating patterns. Sometimes it's just a plateau and we have to suffer through it...then BAM! There goes another 5lbs! I'm sure you'll break through soon. hang in there ;)

I think about two weeks or so. I have lost about two pounds in that time, but that is a drastic change from before. I will definitely try changing up the eating, but I don't know what to do to change up the excercise. Maybe add lifting weights? I'm addicted to the bike...can't not do that! I'm not really doing anything specifically for upper body...any ideas? I'd love to see four to five pounds gone a week like before.

Your body is probably just adjusting to the loss you've had thus far. I know it's frustrating, but I'm sure it will pass soon and you'll see another nice dip on the scale. You LOOK fantastic!!! That's for sure :wacko: Then again, you are a knock out before your surgery too! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
