When you DO break a stall......

[Connie0394 0]

So.....when you DO break a stall, do you find yourself asking "what did I do different?" and conclude....nothing? Boy, as a nurse, this really plays with your head. I'm used to having knowledge of WHY something happens. Last week 2 lbs. This morning 1/2 lb more. Well......praise God anyway!

I always go back through my foods and when it shows I've done the same thing as the past week.. I get a little nutty. lol. I can only imagine how you handle it.

Then I do a happy dance and post immediately my new weight to the bb. lol

There's no rhyme or reason to stalls..

Congratulations!! =)

LOL!! Gayle, I do the exact same thing!! when i realized my weight moved i go to change my ticker immediately! its so funny how that happens but i guess im not the only one that does that!! ... i have just experienced my first "3 week stall" and Im not beating myslef up over it because i know that the body naturally has stalls during weight loss as to adjust to the changes that we are going through! when its over its really amazing and you start to celebrate!!!

Chicas, this is why I only weigh 1X a month. I know it's not for everyone, but I tell you, I've never had a stall. (Well actually, I probably have them but since stalls hardly ever last a month, I wouldn't know.) Basically, I follow my plan and let my body do what it wants. If I follow my plan I know I will lose weight.

When I get to goal, I may weigh more often.

Hi, I don't do that after a stall but rather during. I have to work on stopping my obsessive weighing.

Thanks!! Lisalu, I also like your idea of only weighing once per month. Maybe I'll see if I can do that

Thanks again!!

So I finally broke my 2 1/2 week stall as of this morning. I had actually gained 3 lbs from my low from a few weeks ago and couldn't figure out what I was doing. I looked at my food log from yesterday and realized I only ate 451 calories - yikes! Normally I get in around 800. Maybe it's just about changing "something" up a bit to get the pounds dropping again. I remember years ago when I was dieting, one place said that if you had a stall to eat nothing but either cantaloupe, bananas, or oranges (just pick one and eat only that) for three days. Worked every time. So maybe there is something to changing things up just a bit. And I actually had a few bites of ice cream last night too!
