    Default Dramatic slow weight loss slowdown!! 150 lbs lost, PIX

    I have yet to break the biggest stall of this weight loss endeavor... Have not lost any weight since mid March... Eating right, drinking a lot of water, getting some exercise right, and NOTHING. The scale has become my biggest enemy!! I have lost a little over 150 lbs and want to loose about 80 more so I guess I am going to have to resort to protein shakes for lunch and dinner, ehhhh. Anyways here is a pic of me at my heaviest on the day of my surgery with Dr. Almanza and a recent pic.

    Wow!! over 150 pounds. You look good!! It may work to go back to the basics for awhile - it won't hurt to give it a shot

    I'm at a 3-4 week stall right now. Very frustrating! I picked up working out regularly the past 2 weeks though, so hoping this will make a difference. If not, I will be going back to Step 1, Liquids.........Good luck to ya!

    Thank you all for the encouragement... I am once again back to those pesky protein shakes in lieu of food. I knew stalls were going to be existent and have broken through a few before but this one is has been epic.

    Just thought I'd update this post almost a year later... The weight loss has been minimal since, I have been able to only loose about another 20 lbs since but I exercise more than ever, eat very little carbs, and I am now pondering the thought that my excess weight is all loose skin. I have a lot of loose skin in my arms and belly area. Here is a picture I took this morning.

    Bubblebear....180lbs is INCREDIBLE!!!! You should definelty be proud of that! You look amazing. I'm kinda new to this but I read constantly on here about how to break stalls, trick your body...etc. If you look up Tinman on here he has lots of great tips and tricks and an awesome attitude about the sleeved side of life....you should look him up and read some of his posts.

    One trick that may help you is to increase your carbs....just for a day or two or three and see what happens. Not sure what your typcial intake is but there's lots of posts on here about increasing your caloric and carb intake that may trigger that pesky scale to move for you - especially if you are working out or exercising.

    Good luck to you and keep us posted!
