HI everyone, I am new on this website and have been trying to lose weight all year but frequently get sidelined by injuries or lack of motivation. Due to a serious surgical complication I ended up gaining over 80 pounds. Since then I have lose 45 of them but have plateaued. I know I have reduced calories in the past to lose weight and been successful but this time it is not working at all. I have only lost 5 pounds since September despite working out both aerobically and with strength training. I am not sure if I need to continue to decrease the number of calories or eat more calories. If anyone has any advice, please help.

reduce calories too far and you reduce your metabolism hun.

You have to consult your doctor, because you trouble with weight might be the result of your condition, of the surgical complication. There might be other ways to get rid of the weight.

How much are you eating now, and what are you eating?
