How long is the stall?

[cmaloney 151]

Help!! Almost 7 months out & I can't get these 2 numbers to move for the last month!!! So frustrating. They just keep playing ping-pong with each other. I've added Pilates to the mix & doing everything right..... Still very happy, but I'm so close to getting into lower numbers...

That's a good question....but I don't think there's an anwswer! I'm also in a stall right now, going up and down the same 3 pounds since March 18. It get's aggravating, to say the least! But I figure things are readjusting, and this too, shall pass. It has to, right? Good luck!

Are you getting in enough calories...and enough protein.....enough Water ? ... I see you have added pilates which is great. Are you doing any strength training to build muscle to burn fat? Sometimes are bodies get used to the work out program we have created so we don't get out of it what we were getting so we have to trick our bodies and change our workout program . hopefully some of that will help

Besides walking, Pilates is my only form of exercise now. I'm starting Zumba next week for more cardio input. I am getting in all of my Protein & Water. I might be a little low on calorie intake - maybe 850.... I tried kickboxing last night - definitely not for me! Lol I applaud all of you that so it. Again, thanks for your input... I'll be patient & hope that scale starts moving soon!

Yes to everything except my calories may be 850? & aside from walking, I just added Pilates last week. I start Zumba next week for more cardio input. Exercise-wise, I have to say I really just began....

The scale has stopped quite a few times for me. Upon doing my own research on the web and testing things out. I find I can break a stall a few ways. Since I usually eat fairly low carb, I will eat one day of higher carb. I know this sounds bad, but I just kind of will eat sushi or Cereal throughout the day.

Another thing that works for me is doing a VERY LONG cardio session (non-stop). I have done it low intensity and high intensity and both have worked for me.

The scale will move though. Take some measurements. And good job on exercising. That will keep the scale moving. Do not be discouraged if the scale goes up when you first start working out. When you first get into an exercise regime the scale could possibly go up because of the blood flow throughout your body and the redistribution of Water. I'm no expert, but that is what my trainer said. And I gained about 3 pounds when I first started working out and then it came right off.
