Awesome job!!

Reduce calorie intake if its over 1100 calories, add more water if your not getting 64oz of more of water (not soda/pop/kool aid/coffee/sports drinks). And whats your protein levels look like? You getting 70-80g of protein daily? If so, is it spread out, evenly throughout the day?

Best of luck-

you have to eat your protein other wise your body will hold on to everything you put in . So i would say do your protein first and limit carbs. Sometimes you yoyo with weight and it takes moths to loss a pounds. Good luck I hope this helps.

I hear ya hon, Sometimes I get so hungry and its hard to not want to eat something. My Bariatric doctor told me I should be eating 3 times a day and no in between eating. And that's hard because I am diabetic and I've always been told to eat a snack in between meals. Sometimes I will eat a yogurt or a piece of cheese between meals and make sure its logged in my calorie journal.

Stacy --- That is WONDERFUL!!! Congratulations!

Yay!! One pound away from the original goal?? That is what we all can't wait to see!!

You have worked so hard, and you should be proud of your accomplishments, you have EARNED them! Amazing weight loss!

Oh yes I hit stalls!!! I stalled all through April and two weeks into May. Drove me crazy so I started walking 2.5mikes 4 times a week and started squats. I upped my food and fluids in June and lost 8 lbs. I lost 38 lbs before surgery so that helped. I never thought I'd loose so much so fast!!!! It takes a lot of dedication to exercise and getting all your requirements in. I am an exercise workhorse now!!!!! Lol I have to work hard for every lost pound but the reward is sssoooo worth it!!!!!

My surgeon and NUT said I would be 200-188 after a year but I'm already at 181!! Lol I decided, because I already have big bones that are showing, that 165-170 will be where I try to stop. I imagine I will stop loosing at 160. I was 291 a year ago so I feel like a million bucks already
