The equation you posted is not quite accurate. If you are exercising more, you are probably building lean muscle which means that you will gain WEIGHT, not fat. You are losing fat. You do not need to count calories and must take care to eat enough food but it must be the RIGHT foods. The last thing you should do is put your body into starvation mode by not eating enough healthy foods. You need no more than 20 mg. of fat per day and plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables.<BR/><BR/>I have been going from blog to blog tonight and reading about all the people who are discouraged and upset becasue they are spending too much time on the scale and focusing on the wrong aspects of this whole weight loss "challenge." It is a LIFESTYLE change, not a diet.<BR/><BR/>Blessings to you . . . I hope that you will do some research and get some correct advice so that you can become empowered and SUCCEED. :-)JHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06930867710215940193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735290305583110351.post-90424445666495874082007-06-19T17:47:00.000-07:002007-06-19T17:47:00.000-07:00I hope your body starts to "let go" soon--I know i...I hope your body starts to "let go" soon--I know it's discouraging for the scale not to budge!! <BR/><BR/>You may want to talk to your doctor about all of the healthy things you are doing to rule out any reason it isn't working!Michhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02907454605747037839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735290305583110351.post-69173656150323854922007-06-19T11:37:00.000-07:002007-06-19T11:37:00.000-07:00Have your talked to your doctor about the surgery?...Have your talked to your doctor about the surgery? You seem very discouraged right now and I think it might do you good to sit and talk with him about your options.

My doctor did broach that subject when we first talked prior to me starting this diet. I think I look at it as a last ditch effort. For now the Meridia and exercise and eating a 1200-1400 calorie diet and less than 12 grams of fat is helping me. It's hard, but I have lost about 50 lbs so far.<BR/><BR/>Consider your choices carefully. It seems to me like people don't live that terribly long after the gastric bypass.Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13996205453011039380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735290305583110351.post-69591229992434193372007-06-19T10:09:00.000-07:002007-06-19T10:09:00.000-07:00Pray about that decision.

I hope you have a better week - it sounds like you are doing all the right things. Maybe your body is in rebellion and needs more time to "give it up".Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05000458717596988346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4735290305583110351.post-73259947705442046452007-06-19T09:19:00.000-07:002007-06-19T09:19:00.000-07:00I would pray carefully about that route.

It will improve your health and may take a little longer. Maybe you've gained some muscle weight.
