  • that's not going to last forever. Focus on developing healthy habits. It gets way harder the farther out you get. addendum - wait - you're a year out and dropping weight while eating crap?

Who knows, but why question it? LOL. Maybe you've broken a stall...maybe the hectic pace of the holidays is giving you more exercise than you realize? Maybe you're eating fewer calories than you think, even though you're indulging a bit?

If you'e really concerned, maybe get a physical and have some lab work done to make sure all is well. Are you feeling well? Any other concerning symptoms?

If not...count your blessings and enjoy it!

addendum - wait - you're a year out and dropping weight while eating crap? I thought at first you were a new post-op. If there's no way to explain that, then I'd mention it to my doctor.

Thank you!!!

Agreed. A good physical and some blood work sounds like a very good idea.

I think you're describing the text-book definition of "good luck". <GRIN>

Maybe you were eating too little? In the past when I have lost weight on my own, if I did it using a really low calorie diet, I would have the same thing happen. It was only temporary and eventually if I continued, I would end up gaining. It did help to break stalls though, sometimes you have to eat more.

I dropped weight until
About 15 months- basically eating whatever the crap I wanted too. Literally. I mean very little of it but still-whatever I wanted . It stopped at 18 months. I gained 5 pounds then - enough to freak me out
