Ms skinniness 3,003 Posted January 23, 2013 Upped my calories, decreased my calories, and finally learned to just sit back and let my metabolism do it's job. I had to learn patience. 4 LMFAO575, ProudGrammy, VJSlim and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

leeann71 539 Posted January 23, 2013 Yes that is what has helped me. Also waych your salt intake if you use it. Salt stores Water in the body. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VJSlim 156 Posted January 23, 2013 Upped my calories, decreased my calories, and finally learned to just sit back and let my metabolism do it's job. I had to learn patience. Ms skinniness is right - I tried upping and decreasing calories in quick succession. But I had to be very patient whenever I was on a stall. Dont let it bother you. I know it is frustrating, but dont doubt yourself. You need 'you' to do this! The only thing that seemed to work for me is this: I switch to full liquids diet on the weekends when I stall. And take less than 30g carbs a day. This seems to break my stall faster. I hope this helps! All the best! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
