Comparison is the biggest culprit of being unhappy where you are. (And don't always believe what people tell you )

71 lbs in two months?  I don't want to doubt someone, but that sounds really extreme.  Some people will drop around 30 lbs the first month (although even that is on the high end of the range), bu*****pically slows down quite a bit after that initial drop.  If she did in fact lose 71 lbs in two months, she is a very rare bird.  I lost 28 lbs my first two months - and I've lost over 200 lbs altogether.

Thanks acbbrown! I am trying not to let it get me down. I do have plenty of other things outside weight loss but I guess it's just taken a toll on me lately because I wanted to be smaller at this point. I had someone at work tell me that her sister in law had the sleeve surgery done just 2 months ago and is down 71 lbs and she wasn't much bigger than me when she started so I was thinking what the hell am I doing wrong? Granted she's about 20 years younger than me but that's besides the point. I guess I need to just stop comparing and just go with the flow. 

71 pounds in 2 months? I don't believe it. I believe in the tooth fairy more than I believe 71 pounds in two months.

I lost 285 pounds total. In my first two months, I lost about 41 pounds. 71? Don't believe it.

Lol yeah I agree, I thought it was pretty unbelievable. She must be leaving out the fact she had to diet prior to the surgery for approval or something like that and just telling people she lost 71 lbs in 2 months. Either that or she is magical lol.

I'm earned the hard way that my body used all the stuff in protein bars ...my body treated the bars like candy and I was gaining weight when I introduced them in my diet in year 2... Only when I accepted that - and tossed them - I was able to stop the regain and lose it. 

Protein bar here and there on top of the 800 cal seams to be too much for you. Grab a few nuts (few, not a 2is worth) or another real food snack and see if the scale start moving down again.

Do a double check on the calories - but also check your % body fat.  You will have lost 20-30% of your weight as muscle, even with working out.  You may need to rebuild that - by weight trainnig.  I am not sure the workout withweights that you do - but you need to do weight training with real weight - I lift 115 pounds and leg lift 220, not little 5 pound weights.  I worked with a trainer and will start when I am healed after my plastics.

Check my photos and you will see that I do not look like arnold swartenagger. 

I do not know if this could be why you are running out of steam, as far as losing goes - you could also drop 5 pounds tomorrow. But it's something to check.  Rebuilding that muscle mass helped me keep the losing going.

Yeah I'm not even close to lifting that much. I can barely shoulder press 15 lbs lol. I can say that when it comes to weights I don't push myself because I'm afraid of either hurting myself of bulking up. I guess I should check into getting a personal trainer as well to help. Lol...and you're right, you don't look like Arnold - fantastic job!!

As a woman, you will not bulk up unless you take steroids and lift hours a day.  That is why I posted my photo.  I am slim and you can feel the muscles in my arms if I make a muscle, but I am in no way bulked up and wear a size 4 to 6.

You may need to replace that muscle mass to keep burning calories at a good pace.

I will rarely eat an entire protein bar. Usually 1/2 it and account for it. I don't eat more when I exercise.

the nut shouldn't advise you to eat back your exercise calories.

Usually it takes me all day to eat that...maybe half in between breakfast and lunch and then the rest later on. A lot of times I don't even eat the other half. When I said I was eating a full one it wasn't all the time but either way, they obviously aren't good for me to add the additional calories. I hate that my NUT gave the wrong info.
