Last 20lbs....?

Hello Lightweight Friends....

                      I am getting frustrated!!!!  Hard as I try those last 20lbs will not budge!!  I am thrilled having lost 90 lbs since end of January 2011, but these last 20lbs will be the death of me...(just kidding)!!  It is sooo frustrating....I am working ou****ching what I eat...drinking so much Im starting to think I should live in my bathroom...anyone out there have any suggestions?  Im all ears...Thanks in advance....Your imput is appreciated!! 

The last 20 pounds took me almost 6 months to lose. All I could do was just keep doing what I was doing...low carb, high protein and lots of protein shakes. And, lots of walking.

Hang tough!

Hi Gina...Thanks for your message..Wow...6 months!!!!!  I am doing my best to keep up the high protein and low carbs...and the lots of walking too...I will just hang in there and keep my eye on the prize...Thanks again.....

Gypsy, I am in your shoes...I have 10-15 left to go...same amount of time as as frustrated as I get, I am still losing VERY SLOWLY...Last month I weighed 143 to 145 in the week between my 6 month mark (was not able to weigh on my date). Yesterday morning, I weighed 140. So it is down but I have been between 138-145 ALL MONTH. And then this morning I was back up again...aaarrrgggg.

Now, I did also lose 2 more inches this month. Only one month so far I haven't lost inches...

Did you measure pre-op so you know how much you've lost there...not everyone loses weight every month but will lose inches.

Plus as Gina said, we slow down considerably when we get close...you and I are very close.

Hello Southernlady...Thank you for your message and imput...Isnt this frustrating?  I must admit I am working on it...these last 20lbs are a real challenge....I wont give in tho!!!  we are both experiencing it...I have lost inches without pounds and there has been some change..small changes...today Im up a lb or two...figuring it could be water gain?  Guess we just have to hang tough as Gina Said...Thanks again...

it really is hard im still trying to get that llast pesky few off too good luck

Thanks Stacey for your message...Good Luck to you too...Hang in there!!!!

Gypsy, I share your frustration. My scale is not budging and went up a bit for the first time. I just kept saying to myselfm, patience and persistence. You are doing all the right things, you will get there.

Thanks Amy...Sounds like we all are in the same boat...and I agree with you about the patience and persistence...We Will Get There!!!! 

Certainly can't say I have been dropping it quickly lately.  3 lbs a month has been happening my last few months.  And during that has been considerable bouncing up and down. 

I'm doing 100-140g of protein a day, 30 or less of carbs, no white carbs, 86+ fluid and that is still all I am getting to leave my body.  Oh well, better than gaining.
