Change your routine, change your diet? Are you exercising? If not, add some brisk walks. I was also told if you are eating the same thing every day, that you should switch up your menu.

Just some thoughts, hope they help. I hate when the scales get stuck!

Same suggestions as Sunshine. Ensure that you are drinking lots of Water throughout the day, change up your menu and EXERCISE!

Sometimes if you adjust your calories by 100 - 200 less per day for a week or two that will give the scale a kick.

When my scale sticks, I go on shakes for a couple of days. That will sometimes jump start. My system likes the shock of liquid or increased work outs. The scale won't move that day but a few days later I'll see a drop.

Hell, as long as it's not going up I can't complain too much!

The dietician at my surgeon's office recommends NOT taking in the same amount of calories a day. Try doing 800 calories one day, 1200 the next, and 1000 the third. Also, make sure you're varying the protein... fish seems to work better than beef.

Yep, these guys know the tricks. You've got to shake things up. I'm not sure about liquids for a few days but it might work. Otherwise, changing your calories and especially changing your exercise routine will usually snap me out of a slump. Your body gets used to what you've been doing and starts to get lazy about burning calories. When you suddenly throw something out of the ordinary at it then usually your body will wake up and start paying attention again! Good luck and hang in there...you'll get things going again soon!

My weight watchers instructor has said many times that we need to look at our food pyramid and make sure that we are balancing out everything. It could be just a matter of too little or a little to much of a fat. Sometimes not eating enough food can stall the weight loss. shake it up and journel what you are eating to see if there is a pattern. Good luck!!
