find myself not losing any more weight, not a pound, in fact I see my weight go up 1-2 pounds this week and eating the same..

Calorie intake: 1200 calories

Burn about: 2000 calories

Workout: Recumbent Bike: (3X) 15 minutes at 4-5MPH, maximum tension.....

Nutritionist, stated I cannot lose anymore weight, I have no more fat to burn and any additional weight I will be losing will be muscle.

Current weight, 268 and the nutritionist stated, I have about 20-25 pounds of excess skin making my true weight 243lbs

what are your thoughts on this? I think I still have more weight to lose, any advise?

I'm no medical experts, but I've had success rotating my calories and or exercise. One day 800 calories, the next 1,000, the next 1200, the repeat. Same with exercise. Good luck.

I have a goal of 300 lbs. I have a large muscle mass, and I intend to keep as much of it as possible. For me it is not about weight, but rather about fat. If the fat is gone, or down to a healthy level, why worry about a number on the scale?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
