14 Months Post Op
Jun 05, 2009
OK, so I'm 14 months out from surgery and the weight loss has slooooooowed way down. I haven't lost a stinkin' measly pound in 2 months. I believe that this is was the long timers call a true plateau. This past week I got so pissed about this that I decided to declare WAR!! I worked out everyday this week(Sat thru- Wed) I don't work out on Thursdays 'cause I have my meeting and not on Friday's 'cause that's date night with my husband. I have be "shaking it up" as the say. I take a Body Pump class(weight lifting)on Saturday, then elliptical on Sunday, Hard Core(total body workout) on Monday then I hit the elliptical Tuesday & Wednesday. I don't know what else to do. I have tried adding more calories and subtracting some calories. I've tried exercising at different times of day. I am also adding some more fat into my diet. I try to get 25% into my day now as this can cause your body to stall out. Some of the girls on OH are doing an experiment with trying to eat what our RMR(resting metabolic rate) for two weeks to see if this works, even with the exercising. My RMR is 1422, so that is the calories I need just to lay there and breath in and out, so the theory is that if you do anything, you will burn more calories than 1422, thus lose lbs. I hope this works, I am 9 lbs away from a 25 BMI. I just want to be "Normal" for once in my life, not "Overweight" but "normal". Is this too much to ask? I think not!
