8 Months Out and Stuck

I'm 8 months post RNY and I've lost over 95 pounds so far.  While I'm grateful for the loss, I've been stuck at 191 pounds for a month!  I'm eating somewhere between 900 - 1100 calories and taking a spin class 3 times a week and try to get on the treadmill when not at spin.  I suppose I could be building muscle but it's frustrating to not see the scale move.  Could I be done losing?  Any advice and getting the weightloss moving again?

Hey Lori,

I am by NO means and expert, I am 9.5 months out and the last 2 months I've really seen the scale slow down.  The last week, I've dropped my carbs to 40 or below and upped my protein to 80+ grams and I've finally seen some scale movement.  It could just be a fluke, but I'm going to stick with it for awhile and see what happens.  I was at about 1200 cals a day, but I wasn't really watching my carbs and looking back at MFP, I was averaging closer to 75 - 80 carbs/day.  I, like you, was going to spin class 3 - 4x's wk.  I don't know how close you are to goal, but I know that also causes a slow down....hope this helps and good luck!

Thank you.  This does help and I'm going to check my MFP too.

I was stuck at 8 months too for about 3 weeks, and lo and behold this week dropped 5.  I am now out 9 months and down 97 lbs.  Patience, it will move.  keep with the healthy lifestyle and the weight will follow.  There's more to what we are doing than the numbers on the scale!
