Is It Possible?

[TheNewSusie 471]

So most have heard my story about lots of stalls. Do u guys think its possible to go from 203 to 185 by Christmas? I've made that my next goal, hoping that this 4 week stall will break soon! All advice and tips are greatly appreciated. I'm down 48 since July 7th and I follow and exceed my docs rules. Thanks!

Have you read this information about stalls? http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html -- very informative.

I've heard bumping you calorie intake up a bit, change up the exercise and increasing your Fluid can kick start a stall. Good luck to reaching that next goal.

I'm not sure but I'll share something that I am doing. In several posts I have read that 10 lbs a month is a reasonable expectation. So I set a "dream goal" for weight loss for the same time every month at an estimated 10 lb loss per month and I entered these in my cell phone calendar. On November 26 I have a dream goal coming up to be at 186. I have already passed that goal and am 181. Now I can either keep my December goal where I had it before at 176, or change it to reflect a 10 lb loss from what I weight on the upcoming date of November 26.

I know this really doesn't address your exact question, but it might show you that you are doing better than you think.

As a side note, I was very stalled for several weeks. Then suddenly I started going to the bathroom a lot. My body had been holding on to a lot of Water. Probably because I don't really drink enough. The stall broke.
