    Default 7 months out and stalled

    Good Day! I've been stalled at 190 lbs now for 12 days. I am on the fence. My goal was to lose 100 lbs, however currently I'm a size 12 and I like the size I'm at right now. So I'm even on the fence if I want to lose anymore! Wierd. I'm 80 lbs down, and if my body now is stopping it's weight loss; then I guess I am ok with it. It feels weird because I had a goal, and I'm 20 lbs away from that goal. But with a 20 lbs more of weight loss comes buying size 10 pants, etc. and I've purchased so many different sizes in the last 7 months. I wonder if I will still lose to get to 170 lbs or not? Everyone is telling me I look great now, so if I stop losing now; I'm ok with that. I guess. I just have to come to terms with it. It was a goal, but I may actually be renegotiating my goal. I stopped counting my calories but my guess is I'm at about 1200 calories per day mostly just protein and veggies; limited carbs. Anyone else feel or felt the same way that I do?

    I'm at 6.5 months, and only at 1000 calories -- 1100 is the max my doctor thought was good for me-- not have to hit, just not exceed.
    He also told me, as several of our long time success folks have said, when you need to still loose, 800-850 with 85 grams protein.

    That said, I'm 5'4 and turning 66, and not crazy active. I'm sure someone will give you more help than I have, but our bodies do sort of find their own way, and my bariatric doc agrees with that. It's about the journey, not the destination
    [I]HW: 240 lbs SW: 199 lbs GW: 140 lbs

    1 MO = 167.0 2 MO = 156.4 3 MO = 148.4 4 MO = 140.6
    5 M) = 136.0 6 MO = 130.0
    1 YR = 122.0 2 YR = 140.00 2.5 YR = 139
    Happy with my weight; happy with my size; over-the-moon with my health!

    Well I need to get more exercise. Currently only active once per week. I logged my food today, and I'm more than 1200 calories. I need to re-assess. And I feel like I need to keep reaching for my goal. So 20 lbs to go! I certainly don't want to regain, and eating more calories that 1200 could put me into that danger zone. Time to re-assess my diet choices! Saying goodbye to nuts for awhile. Too many calories, and too easy to munch on. Oh and back to logging calories!

    Just get moving. As for the weight, just keep following the rules. When I slowed down I would lose a pound or two every 7-14 days. Not uncommon when you are that far along. Also, when I would begin to stall it was actually a sign I needed to up my calories. I do workout, though.
