kortolano 100 Posted December 16, 2012 It's a stall try to cut back carbs or add more Protein. Look for lilmissdivas boot camp people here talk about it all the times for stalls Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
COnative 192 Posted December 16, 2012 Have you tried something crazy? I know, might sound weird but maybe its time to really shock the system. Like for example, adding significant time to work outs, or just eating Protein without any carbs, or eating way less calories- just for a week. Or something else you can think of. Maybe your body is in a rut cuz it is used to the normal grind. I think the answer might be easier than you think. I wish you all the best. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProudGrammy 8,322 Posted December 16, 2012 doing very well, - lost 105 Lbs. to date. not loosing anymore weight getting worried. afraid I am going to relasp. Help! hey brown eyes congrats on losing 105 lbs this past year - ,that is terrific !!! i'm glad you realize how well you have been doing - the suggestions from OP are great - maybe even go back to basics for a week with liquids - to shake your body up a bit we all have stalls unfortunately but i'm sure you know that - all stalls shall pass i bet you are feeling healthier now without having to take certain meds/CPAP being afraid/'concerned" you will relapse, gain weight - most of us have that "concern" - we just have to keep working hard - so nothing bad does happen one thing that will ALWAYS keep me going, not relapsing, is the strong memory i have of taking all my old meds, my not being able to walk well - and even not wanting to leave the house because i felt so awful about my appearance. All the above plus more - i NEVER EVER want to go back there being "overweight" and unhealthy i'm one year post op, so i'm still early in the maintenence processt - it will be hard for me too, but i must and will continue to be successful - and you can do this too think back when you were heavier, sicker et al - it was no fun I see your 40 years old - per profile, i don't know how much more weight you have to lose - whether its 50 lbs or 150 - you have to stay strong, and you can and WILL be successful once you reach goal - this new life style will continue for the rest of your longer, healthier, happier liife You - we ALL - have to remain strong - exercise your hands alot, by pushing yourself away from the table!! You can and will be successful!!!! try not to think about what "might" happen wrong - concentrate on the fact that "OMG i have lost over 100 lbs - I can keep going and lose more - and maintain!!!!" I only see good for you in the new year head up you got this good luck bud happy holidays 2 COnative and Keepgoing247 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Threetimesacharm 1,400 Posted December 16, 2012 How much more do you have to lose? How much/what do you eat? Do you exercise? Do you drink Water? All of this information in needed in order to provide you with a relative answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Livinglifeout 217 Posted December 17, 2012 You mention that you are off your thyroid meds. Not sure why you were on thyroid but I've heard most thyroid patients take the meds for life. If your thyroid wasn't functioning properly it doesn't just start working because you have lost weight. You may need thyroid medication to break your stall and to get your metabolism working again. Just a thought:) 1 Twyla reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
