7 months out and loosing and regaining the same 3 pounds for almost a month now
I am now 7 months out and for the last month I have lost and regained the same 3 pounds over and over! I have upped my exercise, but I still can't seem to get past this! I was just wondering if this was normal? I am really worried! In the whole 1st 6 months I lost every week, it may not have been very much every week, but hey a loss is a loss, but now, what?
I don't have it in front of me but I have tracked my weight daily since right after my surgery and I know that things definitely slowed down after the 6Th month and I remember one month after that where I didn't lose much if anything. I did reach my first goal at 6 1/2 months and now, at 9 1/2 months I am almost at my final goal. I am averaging about 1lb a week now, give or take.
I don't know how much you have left to lose but as long as you are still following the rules and aren't eating too much you should still be losing weight.

It's very normal. It is the reason why many of us whom haven't thrown our scale out the window yet at least hide it for a week at a time :) Here's my pattern: loose 4, gain 3, loose 4, gain 2, loose 3. And these aren't daily gains and loses. Each # takes a few days, even up to a week to work out YAY! ~GG
I found after 6 months, i was losing about 6lbs a month. I try not to weigh more than twice a week, because it gets depresssing. AS long as I'm losing per month then i'm happy with that.
I also found that alot of carbs were creeping back into my diet after 6 months and that i had to carb purges once a month to get that weight off. Maybe try the 5 day pouch test to kick start you again.

I'm in a major slow down too. Don't stress yourself over it! That makes it worse!
I am just re-evaluating my diet and exercise to make sure I'm staying on track. I had heard that at 6 months, I'd need to step up my game to get half the results I got during the first 3 months or so. Just part of the journey, right? Good luck to you!
