I have been dieting and exercising. I have hit a plateau - I am eating 1200 - 1500 cals a day, and I was riding my stationary bike for 50 minutes a day. This week I have switched to doing an interval training tape- I call it the torture tape for 20 minutes and riding the stationary bike for 30 minutes. I have lost 8/10 of a lb this week. GRRRRRRR- I am determined to loose 15 lbs!

Maybe you are not eating enough.......Your body may be in starvation mode.

Congrats and good luck on the uphill climb. I agree with Dave maybe you need to fuel the fire with high protein foods and lean meats. Once again good luck!

I don't know- I don't feel like I am starving myself- It is becoming an obsession with me to get this weight off. I have lost weight in the past and have not had this much trouble. Don't give me permission to eat- because I can do a great job of it. That is my problem - I love to eat. I have a question for those who have had the surgery- Do you miss food? So many of our celebrations and family activities are around food- and I just love good food- I know you can eat after the surgery, but have to watch what you eat and the amount- Do you miss it?

Do I miss it? Every day. The surgery was on my stomach and intestines....not my brain!
One still has to develop good habits or I can eat small amounts of bad food all day and defeat the purpose. What I miss the most is In-an-Out!!!!!!!!!

Dave, do you or did you have problems being cold all the time?
That's my biggest problem. My kids complain that I'm killing them because it's 80 degrees in the house and I have windows open instead of AC on, but I am quite comfy!
Even now, it's 83 degrees outside and my windows are open. Not a fan on in the house either. But at night, although there is a fan on in my window, I'm in flannel PJs and have a comforter on!
I'm hoping that working out and building muscle (which I lost as well as the fat) will help with heat retention. It's sad when my hands are ice cold and it's in the 80's!
It's nice to know I'm not alone, expect I'm hot all the time now, thanks to menopause. I kid you not it can be 20 out snow on the ground and I'm hot, most the time in the winter months I'll go outside and stand, it feels good. I freeze my poor family out in the winter months. Just thinking about summer makes me feel hot, just the thought of wearing long sleeves make me feel hot! When I was younger I see these elderly women running around in the winter in short sleeves no jackets and think they are crazy, well I'm there now one of em, CRAZY!.
As for diet deal, excised and eating healthy, I don't believes in depriving myself, been able to maintained my weight. if I want cookies I have one, just not the whole box.. Ok I'll admit brownies are another deal, my weakness, I eat the whole pan, so I don't bake them often
But I think it's a personal choice how one decides what right for them, I did read once they were going to try head transplants onto other bodies

I don't miss eating a lot, but I can eat whatever I want, just can't eat a lot of it.
It's weird though, cause I used to love things like chocolate chip cookies, cheesecake, and a bloody ribeye.
Well, I can still have those things, but strangely, I can eat just one cookie, and I feel like I've had half a dozen. I can have three bites (equal to one of my old bites, as I take smaller bites now), and I feel like I've had a large piece. I have 2 oz of bloody steak and I feel like it's been 12 oz.
So I have satiety when I eat, which is important.
And I don't have that urge to get 'just one more piece' or 'just one more scoop' to have that satisfaction.
When I feel like I'm getting full, I'm done eating. And I don't even want anything else for a while.
