Keen Observation about stalls

I am 5 months out and the loss has started to slow down and stall out for weeks at a time. Which is what I was hoping for as I really don't want to lose much more weight but I have noticed that when I am not losing… I am shrinking more than ever. Perhaps, Im looking at that more as Im not all pumped on watching the scale move? I don't know… anyone else feel this way?

Wow Girl you have done awesome! , is all your weight loss post surgery? As time goes on i do notice more of stalls but i know that i am highly accountable for them but i still manage to lose 2 to 3 pounds per week without the stalls. I'm hoping to lose alot more but i do notice when the scale stalls i find myself losing inches more and more.

Hey girl!
I have lost 67 since my surgery the rest was pre-op. You know that good ole, Im gonna do this **** on my own thing we all do before we take the final plunge. Haha…. I managed to never stall until about 2 weeks ago but I think that like you say some of it is my own doing. I have added in a lil more foods that I was not eating before in an attempt to slow down the loss a bit. I know it sounds stupid cause I did have WLS but my intention was not to look "skinny" and I feel like Im getting there if I let myself keep going at the  rate I was (about 12/13 pounds a month) so I hope things kinda get normal and even out soon. Now that my plastics guy wants me to up my protein (120 a day) Im worried it will make me lose more. I hope not we shall see.

Hi Jenn

I will be 5 months out June 1st.
I posted a few days back and wrote that although this month is
my least amount of weight loss on the scale, its the most inches
I have lost in one month.   I couldn't get these pair of pants on ( past my thighs)
in the beginning of the 4th month and now they just slide right on.

I am soOOoo  right in your boat`s journey.  Also I have notice that others who
are heavier than me 4 1/2 and 5 months out, they are still losing weight.
Not sure if it is because we are in onederland and its slows because
we dont have that more to lose or what.

Just know I am experiencing the same.  However I want to keep losing
more weight.

I am excited for you and your tummy tuck and look forward to watch your
process.  I hope you share photos with us.

Nice to know Im not all alone in this! I already took my pre-op pics for you all. Pretty scary girl! And Ill take some right after and put them up and then some when Im all healed up. My aunt was like wow you're really gonna share that pic (its in underwear and soooo not pretty!) but i figure if anyone gets it, you folks do. I know when I researched tummy tucks I felt like I wanted to see a tummy that looked like mine to see what it would look like after and most  weren't as bad as mine or wayyyy worse. It was either young moms with slightly lose skin of someone who had lost 300 pounds so it was hard to compare, ya know. 
Have a good day,
Jen

Yeah, I know on weeks were the scale doesn't move much for me, my already loose clothing starts to fall off. It's crazy! I thought I was stalled out one week and I went down a notch in my belt in a couple of days.

I'm praying to the loose skin gods to be kind to me!!!

You are not alone in this, at all Jen! You've done so awseome! Your results are outstanding and you're gorgeous!

I've had a viscious stall going on for a while now, but like you, continued to lose inches. I've started losing again, but ever so slowly. I'm at 184 and if measurements are correct by my trainer and the pinch test, he says my goal should be 166 which would leave me with less than 20 pounds left to lose. He's doing another test next week and if that says 166 as well, I'm thinking thats going to be my new goal. I just had my labs done and they were awesome.

I'm 5'5" and have a big frame, and I don't want to get super skinny either...it wouldn't look right. I'm taking medium and large shirts and a size 12 pants. I have a lot of extra skin on my arms and tummy to get rid of...I see PS in my future! Good luck to you Girlie and I'll keep watching your progress!
