I understand how that goes. I know sometimes it helps me in a variety of ways when I write about it.

This not a cop out:  You are probably carrying an extra 15-20 pounds of skin while getting stronger every week. So your body doesn't see the problem.  That being said, I get the frustration. I ask myself,  why couldn't I have waited 2 more months to move?  If I had, maybe I would be below 200 by now.  But since I have moved, I just stick around the same number. I know that food is the reason for me.  To be honest with myself, I just don't want to be as strict as I was before, which means slower weight loss. Like you, that does not mean that I am done. 

You look great.  You are an athlete.  You will lose more. Most of it may be as a result of the surgery though. I think that this frustration is a good and normal part of slowing down.  But you are not declaring defeat.
