Try keeping a food journal! Write down EVERYTHING you put in your mouth. Even mints and gum. Keep track of it, and then you'll know where to make changes! :-)

Linda: i agree with Jamie journal everything, i journal on myfitnesspal i love it as it calculates all my calories, protein etc. U might need to up your protein and exercise. I know some days its very hard to exercise do to the pain levels.

I will be praying for the scale to move.. Hugs

Stalls happen. Some longer than others. Journal your food. You might try to change things up a little. Maybe add a few more carbs. Sometimes that will jumpstart things. Just don't give up. You're doing great. 90 lbs is still great!

I agree with journaling everything you eat, all liquids, etc. Also shake things up with your body. That's what I do. I eat anywhere from 500-800 calories daily.

I'll eat 500-550 for a day or two then up the calorie intake to 800 for a few days, then drop back down to 500-550 again. It keeps your metabolism guessing and not in a slump.

So many of us eat the same thing day after day and don't realize it. If we mix things up, it really does help.

Good luck sweetie. HUGSSSSSS

I don't think your doctor should put expectations on you. If you feel healthy and good about yourself then you should decide where you want to be.
I recently asked my doctor what my goal is, and I was told that it's wherever i want to be, and they suggested a BMI/weight for me for a healthy look. But it's up to me.
If you still want to keep loosing then I also recommend journaling. Find out where extra calories, carbs or fats may be coming in. Changing your foods may also help.

All the sugesions are great ones I do have one more I was stalled at 163 and my old team said my body had reached its stoping point. They are my old team for a reason. My PCP did my routien blood work a few months later and my thyroid was off yet again. Once he uped my synthroid I went down to 148. I also have a parathyroid issue being addressed which can cause weight gain. So having your hormones checked all the way around if you havent already may be worth it. great job on your loss too :)

Thanks everyone

You're doing great! Don't let a stall derail you. I too suffer from stalls and get very frustrated. I have to tell myself that its my body's way of losing the weight at it's own pace. 90lbs in 10 months is amazing! Don't let yourself, your dr or anyone else take that joy of losing those lbs away from you! Hang in there!

You've done a great job so far! Just realize the doctors PRACTICE medicine. Biology is not an exact science. We must be gentle with ourselves and allow our bodies to make the changes we're asking them to in their own good time. As long as we keep up the good fight, THIS time, we will succeed!

Keep doing what you know works for you. You might have to make a few tweaks, just to keep things interesting, but you GOT this!

you got some great advice. As long as you are going down, you are in the right direction ! Chin up, keep going. Right now i would say don't weigh too much. As long as your not gaining don 't worry and keep going.. :)

90 lbs is awsome! You are doing great and will continue to do so. Just don't stress about it & the weight will start coming off again. You will see. Hang in there!

Nothing is "wrong" with you. You are awesome!
If it were me I would be logging everything I eat and drink with the calorie count, even just one bite. That will let you know if you are taking in too many calories to loose weight.

These are great comments and terrific advice! What a group of smart people!! Be proud of what you've lost :) Don't get discouraged and keep moving and then you'll keep losing

Keep your head up. It is very difficult to focus when you are bummed out.
