This stalls beating me down

[Huntingnurse 510]

So ive been stalled at 228-230 since May 15... Im at the point i dont even get excited about the possibility of seeing a loss. Im 5 1/2 months out and wondering if maybe this is it... Im still 48-50 lbs from MY goal of 180. The BMI chart says I should be at 168 to be the HIGHEST normal for 5'9". Ive been getting 70-100gm Protein, plenty of Fluid, tried cutting carbs, tried upping carbs... I eat 1000-1200 calories a day. I started working out regularly 3-4 weeks ago... Walking 3.5 mph at a 5% incline for 30 minutes then weights after.

Im seeing my arms and feeling my legs grow but shouldnt this INCREASE my fat burning and help the weightloss??

Has anyone stalled this long this far (or further) out? Whats your story? Howd you handle it and not get angry/depressed?? Is this it? Looking for any hope right now..

Never, Never, Never give up. It's all your coice, just keep plodding forward!

Its not physically possible to give up - it just sure beats the hell out of you emotionally... Considering everything we have to change... Giving up out only means of emotional support.. Etc.

It sounds like you are gaining muscle weight so you are undoubtedly losing fat weight even though the scale shows a net loss of zero. Hang in there! Your new muscle weight will eventually help with calorie burning. Hang in there!!

i see with your 76 lbs gone, you look wonderful!!!!

you went through major surgery 5 1/2 months ago

you've been so successful, you should be proud

I get it/understand being upset/angry/discouraged

I'm 99.9999% positive that you are NOT done losing weight!!!!

you know the bit here about stalls, i know that doesn't help you any though

3 weeks stall + counting - the stall will break

eventually your body might tell you enough is enough and won't let you lose more weight

but for now you have more to lose - with lots to "GAIN"

if i knew the answer to when your stall will break - i would run for GOD!!!!

congrats on 76 lbs gone, gone, and gone forever

good luck

stay strong

Keep at it and continue to change up your routine... keep your body guess.

I would also advise you lift weights first then do your cardio.

I had a 7 week stall and then several after that. Be patient! It will happen.

I'm 8 weeks going on 9 weeks out and I've been on the same stall for the past 3 weeks. I've only lost 38 which includes 11 pre op...I'm starting to think this is it for me..will the scale ever go down?
