ok for the last three months my weight loss has been very minimal, I still eat the same, I really have not been able to excercise from a bad disability, cant walk long or stand, or lift. I started out on September 25, 2007 at 322lbs, i am currently at 205lbs, I have not lost any weight in the last month, and it is killing me, I want to be below that 200 mark, and I do not know what I need to do, or if this is it, if this is as low as I go, i am worried, someone please help, thank you

I am in a stall as well so i understand how you fell. at my las vist i only lost 22 pounds and I have not lost anything since my last visit but I did loose a lot of inches and i find that people make more comments about how much I have lost when the scale is not moving compare to when the scale is moving.

I think it is the amount of time we are out. I guess the honeymoon is over and it is now up to us to really work it. My weight loss has slowed down a lot as well. I miss the early out days when it seemed I just had to breathe to lose weight!

ok, I went back to strictly high protein and a few ashakes a day and dropped 4 lbs, that is way cool to get things going again, I really just want to see 199 before my year anniversary witch is next month. Thank you for your replies, I am glad I am not alone here. ~

Aww sweetie, you are doing fine. I was at 362 on surgery day and I am down to 235 and my loss in the past month has slowed as well. I wanted to be down to 200 lbs by my anniversary (9/7/08) but it's not going to happen. We just have to be positive about what we have lost and try harder to follow our program. I've been assured that our honeymoon period is not over yet. It should last 18 to 24 months, not 10/11 months. I think my whole problem is not enough protein and water and too much carbs right now. God knows I am getting plenty of exercise. In fact, our problem could be that we are still losing fat, but starting to gain muscle to replace the fat. It weighs more and may in fact make us think that things are in a stall when in reality our bodies are still changing and clothes are still getting looser. Keep your chin up and remember, that we are still much better off than where we were. Cheers.

Wow were like twins!!  I was 362 also, i have lost down to 230, i have seen 229 but it was only for a day i think, the stal has been very frustrating and i know our window is suppose to be 18 months but man months 8 (to a lesser extent) 9 and 10 have been harder....
I am glad to hear that i am not alone thought
I am going to work hard on my water i think that might be an issue i know im getting 80 to 100 g of protein a day.
