Sounds like you're doing well, and maybe putting on muscle while losing fat. That will slow the scales down. Make sure you keep tabs on your measurements with a tape.
One more thing- are you getting your proteins in? My doc specs out 60 grams per day minimum and my loss slows down if I don't get it in.

yes I once lost two sizes while the scale stayed put...

people that start with 80-100 to lose just do not lose as fast as people with 200 pounds to lose either... that is what my surgeon and nut said

How tall are you? It doesn't sound like you had much weight to loose to start with so the weight loss will go slower. Make sure your getting your protein in.

I'm 5'4". I have lost two sizes, and am feeling pretty good. Curves tracked my inches lost at 10 last month. I'll get in the habit of tracking proteins. That is something I've just been eyeballing.

I had surgery 9/22 and have lost 38 lbs. I had lost 40 lbs prior to surgery. I had the sleeve. It's still about 10 lbs a month. I get 80-100 gm protein, 64 oz fluids, run 700-800 calories. Just keep with the program and you will lose

Im glad you posted, I am 1 month and only around 20 not including the few lbs before surgery day...I was 241 and I have around the same to loose as you....I feel very slow as well.....but I did work out a little harder and the scale budged so keep on keepin on!

sometimes when the scale doesn't budge you have to add even quarter cup of cottage cheese to the program just enough food to let your body know your not trying to starve it.

try it.

First: congratulations on your weight loss!

When my weight loss slowed, I did things to keep my body off balance...The keys are protein, water, movement, and sleep. I had to get 8 hours of sleep in order to lose weight. A couple times increasing my calorie intake triggered faster weight loss. Our bodies are really good at adapting so it is important to change up your exercise routine and eating if you aren't seeing results.

Hi Spotz,
Like you I started at #233. My loss was so slow. It took 2 years, 5 months and five days to lose #100. I mean I was so slow. The upside of that is that I don't require and skin surgery. My body went back to a size 6 with no muffin top or bulges. It was really hard for me to read posts from the peeps that were in my group of loosers here. They were posting things like " Had my surgery 8 weeks ago and have only lost a #100" I think reading those posts left me expecting more from my body than it could do. It was hard after I had lost #100 not even then did anyone ever say to me "Wow you have lsot weight" That is how slow I lost it. The thing is now I am really happy with the way it went. No need for any additional surgery and It seems easy to maintain at 3 years out last week. So just hang in there it will happen for you too. I also would suggest an addtional serving of protein. That was a lesson that was really hard for me to learn. It was hard to imagine that adding calories would lead to weight loss but in reality my body thought it was being starved and hung on to every calorie I put in it.

Good luck to you!

Congrats on your progress. Protein after workout. Protein helps with muscle and melts fat. Water flushes it. Less than 1000 calories. Valerie is right when are aren't that much over weight it goes much slower. Give it time and stick to protein first, veggies and fruit. Very few carbs and no more than 1000 cal a day. Track everything!

sounds like you are doing great...congrats on the loss so far and you will make it!

Maybe you should try to mix up your exercise routine. A trainer has told me I should change my routine at least monthly. Your muscles learn a routine and it becomes less challanging so less calories burned.

Thank you all for your ideas! I've added extra protein after my workout in the late afternoon. I'm normally hungery that time of day, so adding it is no problem! I'll continue tracking and see what changes!

Bright Blessings,
Spotz

You're doing well! That's about ten pounds a month, which is more than two pounds per week. Very good progress. Just keep doing what you're doing.

How much protein are you getting in every day? Shoot for 70 gr. at least. Protein and fluids and movement equals success....
