It only takes 1 time...and a little stall



Recommended Posts

to take that one last bite and be completely over full and miserable for what seemed like an eternity! It was like i knew immediately that it was too much. I went to bed tossing and turning and couldn't sleep. I totally learned my lesson. I will never let that happen again!

I have also hit a little stall. I am going between 290.4 and 291.6 for the last 3 days....it's driving me crazy..lol. I have lost 30.4lbs since August 18, had surgery on August 21st, so i know i have no room to complain, but it does get frustrating to see it not moving..:biggrin0:.

Others here are likely much better at this than me, but it seems to me that if you're stuck at a certain weight, and you know you're doing what you're supposed to with your eating, then change something else. Weight loss for me has always been a math equation - basically, put out more than you take in.

I'm the last one to tell someone to get more exercise, but it seems like if you keep eating as you are, but increase your activity just a bit - like a walk around the block a time or two - that would be just enough to tip the scales back in the downward direction.

If your body is balancing input and output, do one thing or the other to upset that balance.

Good luck!

You'll come out the stall eventually.... I didn't officially stall, but had a few blips along the way where i didn't shift any for a while.... but I'd say after the 2 mth mark for me then I started losing again, and now at 3 months I'm losing about 1.5-2lbs each week.

I know exactly what you mean about one mouthful too many.... I did that on a meal out, and suffered the same for a few hours after! You really have o listen to your body and eat really slowly to make sure you get your timing right.

Keep up the good work!

The stall is normal - it will pass. Mine lasted 2 1/2 weeks! I have actually found that increasing my calories can sometimes get me losing again - I think your body gets kind freaked out at times and then your metabolism slows, for me adding in a few extra calories seems to help with that.

I know exactly what you mean about taking that one bite that is too much - it's a killer isn't it? I have also learned not to eat for a while before I go to bed or I will have problems with reflux.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
