1000 calories and still not losing!! help!

I understand what you're saying but at the same time, if you are eating and drinking 2 glasses of wine each day, you are not going to lose your weight... at least, not as quickly as other people. I will double check my dr's big mac analagy... just in case I got what he said wrong... he never mentioned calories in the equation.

I think its too early for my body to go into shut down mode after only one week of calorie deprivation....

I feel your pain.....I was banded a day before you and have stalled out SO many times already! Yes, there is a modicum of change in my clothes fitting and yes, I feel much better. But YES, I would LIKE to see some results in the numbers game. But I guess we both need to just chill and keep doing what we know is right and wait for the results.

I have to have faith that this thing we have done WILL work eventually!!

Sunshine, thanks for posting that piece. I've printed it out to put on the fridge!

Kago I'm sorry but not all calories are created equal especially for women. We have hormones that stall weight loss and those hormones are often triggered by certain foods. My own pcp chooses medications for me based on will this stall your weightloss or not. There are more factors than calories alone. Calories in vs calories out is certainly true to an extent but it is not the end all. Just ask anyone here who suffers from pcos we will all tell that calories are only one factor in a very complicated equation.

When I get like that... I have:

a Krispy Kreme and a coke

I'll lose a pound by the next day..... so weird, but true...not enough carbs causes a stall in weightloss.

Remember, it takes carbohydrates for the body to use fat cells (as in shrink them)
