Wish I knew too. I've been on a stall since moving to full liquid over a week ago. Before I was loosing good then it just stopped completely. I walk 2 miles every morning and have less then 400 or 500 calories each day. I work hard to get in all the Protein and feel like I sip all day long but the scales won't move. At first I tried to stay positive but some days I am so frustrated. This morning I was downright mad. To me the numbers just don't add up. If I only intake 400 calories and burn 250 calories working out and since I'm alive and breathing have to be burning even more calories....so whats up!! I should be melting right. Just goes to show how seriously messed up my metabolism is. I've read all the stall post and guess I know it is very common around 3 weeks...but somehow when I weigh I still want to stomp on the scales like the incredible hulk and smash them!!

I stalled at 3 weeks as well. And stayed there for two weeks of bouncing up and down on the same darn 3 pounds. I added in carbs, eating baked crackers and Peanut Butter. I also upped my Water consumption a bit from 64 oz to 80 oz a day. There was another TMI reason for the upped Water consumption, too.

After two weeks, I suddenly dropped 7 pounds in two days, so I think that all helped. Mostly, I just made myself not worry about the stall. It doesn't help and anxiety makes me want to eat.

This article helps explain stalls- and should help a bit! Also, measure yourselves! When the stalls come you will find you are still getting smaller.

Interesting... I'm going to try adding more cals/fat through shredded cheese. We'll see if it works! Thanks for sharing the article!

I stalled at about 10 weeks out and I broke it by eating more and exercising less. I lost 5 lbs in 1 week! Now I'm stalled again...going on 3 weeks. So frustrating.

I added more calories and downed my carbs. Seems to be working.

Same here! I added cals and more fat and the scale is moving again, despite my TOM approaching!

I almost doubled my calories yesterday and this morning, lost 2 lbs. That's crazy. I feel better today too, less tired and weak sure the calories helped with that. Can't believe a scamble egg with a little cheese would take all evening to eat. Couldn't even finish it but was nice to chew on food again.
