Weight loss

[Limor 1]

Hello

I had my surgery 12 weeks ago.

My bmi was 33

My starting weight was 200 pounds/90 kilo

In 12 weeks I lost 50 pounds I know its allot. I count my calories I eat 1000 calories per a day

I do 30 minutes Stationary bike 6 Times a week

I would like to loose 20 more pounds.

I hit a stoll this week.

Will I get to loose my 20 pound in this next few month?

My friend is worried that I will not be able to stop the weight loss.

I think the body knows when to stop.

I am worried That my stoll will last forever..

I did the surgery out of my country therefore I can't contact my doctor.

stalls are common. Just keep following your program. If more than a month or six weeks go by with no weight loss, you can always lose more by cutting calories - if you're willing to do that. You and your body may or may not be comfortable eating less than 1000 calories a day, and that's fine.

weight loss does slow down a lot the closer you get to a normal BMI. I'm trying to lose 10 lbs now, but it's REALLY hard. But then, there are only so many calories I can cut (about 200 is all). When I weighed over 300 lbs, I could cut 1000 calories a day and lose weight pretty quickly. Right now, it takes about 1600 calories for me to maintain my current weight. If I cut 1000 calories NOW, I'd only be eating 600 calories/day. That is not sustainable. Even cutting 200 cal/day is challenging, but at least it's do-able. But that also means that my weight loss is going to be very slow....only 2-3 lbs a month.

as far as losing too much weight, you can always increase your calories a bit to stop the loss. So unless there's some medical problem that's causing the weight loss, you have control over whether you stop the loss or keep losing.
