[Caroline 1]

So I had my surgery 12-31-18 and I have lost 110 pounds so far. I’m still about 40-50 away from my goal and I haven’t lost any weight in about a month. Im not gaining but I’m not loosing. I’m drinking all my Water. Taking all my Vitamins and working out. I’m also still losing my hair pretty bad. I guess I’m in a stall. How do I resolve this y’all?

Hi!

You can Experiment :

Diligently *DILIGENTLY* Diligent track your food for 1 week, see exactly how much cals, carbs, Protein & fat you are consuming. If there is no change in your weight for that week, this is most likely your maintenance level.

To test this you could:

Start off moderately and reduce your cals by 250 per day for the next week to see if you lose atleast 1/2 lb

(7×250= 1750; *USUALLY* to lose 1 lb of fat you need to be in a deficit of 3500 cals per week or -500 cals per day)

Please remember that things don't always go by the book and other factors should be taken into account such as: medication use (especially antidepressants and steriods), physical activity levels (or lack thereof), age, gender, and if you are already at a realistic goal (despite it being different from your personal goal)

OR

It could just be a stall and nothing you do will change it. Wait it out 😒

Good Luck 💜
