5 month stall.............

[kerri21 1]

i havent been on here much latly but im just a little over 5 month post op and im down 53 lbs.. from my heavest im down 100 lbs. Feels great to get all this extra weight off!!! Im fitting into a size 16 which i havent worn since before i had my kids.

for the last month i have been stalled out stuck at 187, im starting to get discouraged that im not going to lose any more weight. i know that im lower in weight and it will be slower to come off but 4 weeks of nothing! UGH!!! When i think about what i eat and how much, i cant understand why the weights not coming off.

Any one have any ideas on how to jump start the weightloss agian? or how long your longest stall was?

Change something up. Up your calories or Protein for a couple days. Change your workout routine. Make your body confused. It worked for me last week. Good luck!!

Have you reintroduced carbs? If so maybe you're eating too many that happened to me and many others. Do you track what you eat? How many carbs are you having?

Also calorie cycling as described above having one or two days a week where you eat a bit more say 1200 calories and keep the others at 600-800

I had a ten day stall and I started journaling again and bought all different foods and the scale started moving.

I was going through a little stall. I was eating about 60 carbs per day (as advised by my NUT). I decided to drop down to 40 carbs just to see what would happen. I started losing again, in fact three pounds in a week. I also got some advice to workout first thing in the morning before eating (if that is hard, just eat a little bit of protein). This will force your body to use fat stores for energy. I try to get in at least one morning workout a week. Plus, working out in the morning bumps up your metabolism and you burn more calories the rest of the day. YOU WILL BREAK THROUGH THIS STALL!!!!

i started to drink a Protein shake again hoping it would kick my stall. get on the scale and i gained 2lbs!!!! what??? i keep my carbs under 30 and with a Protein Shake my Protein is about 70, i work out on my eliptica 4x a week. starting to think my body just wants to be this heavy.
