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.

I also have upped my calories by 100 to 150. It has helped with the stalls. Also upped my Water, I drink half my weight in ounces like I weigh 220, so I drink 110 ounces

i shoudl up the Water intake than. leeann thanks

[leeann71 539]

Yes that is what has helped me. Also waych your salt intake if you use it. Salt stores Water in the body.

lee thats true im trying. i might take a Water pill just to see if its water because water retention slows your metabolism down to a hault

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!

vj thank you i will try that

Best bet is not to weigh yourself so often. I know it's hard but it is easier than the let down.
