What Is This A Stall Or What? Help

[KinnymomX3 144]

I'm 4 weeks out and was cleared by my doc to eat normal foods again . I started out at 247 and im now at 218.5. I'm really pleased with the weight I have lost but 3 days ago I was 215 . I haven't lost a pound in a week in a half in fact I've gained 3 pounds. I'm not eating unhealthy and I'm doing the 3 meals with 3 healthy Snacks. I'm getting at least 60-75 grams of Protein and about 62 ounces of gaterade / Water everyday . I will be honest I'm not taking the Vitamins like I should in fact the vitamins are my weakness . I hate them they make me nauseated. I do exercise 3 days a week . I'm so discouraged and unsure about what's happening to my body

First thing, Stalls are completely normal. To get though them you need to change up your retain. Stop drinker Gaterade. Try Cristal Light. and increase your exercise to 4 or 5 time a week. I just start with walking for a half an hour. If your not using MyFitnessPal, start. Most of us here use it for food tracking. There is a form just for them. About Vitamins, there are many different kind out there. Many of us use Flintstone chewable.< /p>

Good point with the Gaterade. I'm drinking the G2 with 7 g of sugar and 7 g of carbs. I did download my fitness app and have been using it faithfully consuming about 600 calories QD which I expect to go up by a tad this week as I phase in normal food . Im a full time nurse with 3 children and a husband and I can not commit to anymore exercise than I already am. I think I trip my NUT is due becuase im just confused !!

Don't be discouraged......stalls do happen. Put "stall" in the search engine and read other folks' stories about their stalls. Everyone's journey is different so never compare your weight loss to others! You may not be dropping pounds.....but you may be dropping inches

Try Propel Zero, Sobe Zero, & Vitamin Water Zero. Great taste, no sugar .

I take Celebrate chewable vitamins (Amazon.com or NUT) & had no problems as long as I don't take the one's w/iron & I take them w/dinner. If I feel sick, I'm asleep & don't know it

& when u exercise, make sure your heart rate is where it should be for however long it should be.

Lots of luck. I haven't had a stall yet, but I'm definately in a slooooowwwwww draaaaggg. I'm trying to pump myself up for change too.
