Hello Stacy, I know exactly how you feel, I had a bad weight loss month last month only losing about 5 lbs. making it only 51 lbs. since my surgery on 11/10/03. I seem to get stuck for a few weeks at a time then drop several pounds and the cycle starts all over again. My body seems to be repeating this cycle since the surgery so I have to accept it I guess, as long as I am losing and not gaining that's all I care about. I asked for advice and people told me to shake things up a bit, try changing what I eat everyday and not to eat the sames things every day. Like change my routine and my exercise and my carb and calorie and fat intake. I did this and have lost about 6 lbs. in the last couple of weeks making this month a better losing month for me . Hope this helps but hang in there your doing great as long as you continue to lose every month. Darlene RYN 309/252/???

Hi Stacy -- I'm over four months out and have lost only 51 pounds. I have at least 60 something to go. I have gotten stuck for several weeks 3 or times without losing a pound. I just can't figure out why I'm losing so slowly but I have to say I'm feeling better and exercising more than I have in years. People say I look great so I guess the weight is going to have to take care of itself. Hope you start losing again soon. Best, Kathy
