I am not in a stall...

With all that exercise, you have to be building some muscle, which will change your shape and help your clothes to fit differently/better.

If you can, try to get a BOD POD or Hydrostatic water weighing test. They are more accurate. The DEXA Scan is newer, but more expensive and not as freely available. It may help to get a more accurate body fat measurement, so that you can get a better idea of where you are at.

Keep doing what you are doing. It is bound to help and will make a huge difference in  how you look and feel. Weight training and other exercise have helped me a great deal.

I don't know if this will help (due to be sleeved next Thurs) But when i had the band working normal... I would basically eat the same thing every day...I was told to switch it up what you eat that your body gets use to the same thing every day and some peoples bodies don't work the same to keep taking off the lbs like they did when you first started eating it... it may be worth a shot... I'm sure i will be on here with lots of questions coming up... I hope i do as well as you have done so far...just remember what you have lost and be proud!

I think you'll lose it either way. So, pick which way feels healthiest to you and stick to it.

My Sleeve friend took 15 months to get to goal. 6 months after goal she lost another 10 lbs without really trying. A couple of weeks ago her hubby started a diet and she was eating what he ate. She lost another 5 lbs.

Working out a lot can make it seem like you've stalled, but it's not the case. You are probably building some muscle (even lean muscle) and when that happens your body needs to hold onto more water to use as a lubricant for the muscles as they break down and build back up.

A lot of times just adding in 2-3 more glasses of water a day can make the difference because it's a signal to you body that it's okay to let go of the waterit's storing. Try just going to 1000 calories a day and adding some water and see what happens.

You got this!

Ya know?...Water is the one thing I don't track well. I know I get in a lot of water when I run because I fill up a 24 oz container and drink the whole thing while on the treadmill, then I fill it up again and drink it while weight lifting. But in all honesty, I've never been a big water drinker so I think I'm going to revisit this. (hmmm, thinking)
