LeLe 7 Posted March 2, 2012 I am wondering about some advice to help with a stall, I have lost about 43 lbs in 3 months, and I am hoping that is really good. But I am kinda stalled now and don't know what to do. I go to the gym sometime 2 times a week. But just not seeing a major difference. Any advice??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lilee84 648 Posted March 2, 2012 have you thought about upping your exercise? Maybe add san.extra day or two at the gym and see if that gets the scale moving again for u. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lissa 2,631 Posted March 2, 2012 Are you just not dropping pounds? You should be looking at other things besides the scale. Take your measurements and see if you're losing inches. Are you able to do more than you could before? How is your energy level? Are you drinking enough Water? Our bodies will stop losing pounds while they adjust our measurements, or if we aren't drinking enough Water. Muscle truly weighs more than fat, and, since you're exercising, you may be developing muscle. That's a great thing! Are your clothes looser? I walked out of my first size during a "stall". This last month has been so slow on loss, but I have literally watched my body adjust itself. I now have bicep and thigh muscles and I have the beginnings of a waist! I also lost three pants sizes last month! Don't let the scale rule your life. Use the other NSVs (non scale victories) to tell you if you are truly in a stall or if your body is just doing some internal housekeeping. 1 Neese reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Globetrotter 1,340 Posted March 2, 2012 At three months out, with Dr's permission, I would think you could exercise more than 2x a week, even a gentle daily 30 mi walk will make a difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peacequeen 434 Posted March 2, 2012 I've had to add more excercise in to break my stall. Brisk walking is great. I'm also trying to watch what I eat. I don't eat alot but have made some bad choices on what I was eating,,makes a big difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LeLe 7 Posted March 5, 2012 ty all for the advice. I will try to add some more exercise and I do need to watch sometimes what I eat. For the most part I do really good. I hope all the walking I do in Disney World in 4 days will help lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
