thinathart 197 Posted June 17, 2013 I was stalled all of month 6...not one stinkin pound. I stayed on plan and joined a gym. Finally the scale started moving again. It's discouraging, but eventually they break and the weight continues to come off. 2 Pookeyism and amytug reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted June 17, 2013 The frustration of a stall is very real. The best bet thing to do is to just review your habits. Try a food tracking app if you don't already. review the Water you are getting in, the sleep (sleep is really important). Get away from any of the foods we tend to let slip back in, the miscellaneous breads and grains - nutritionally they do almont nothing and provide no nutrients or Fiber that cannot be gained somewhere else. People love to hear a calorie is a calorie, there for a pund is a pound. This is so very untrue. Just as anyone who has ever noticed the gas mileage in a car drop as it goes along, can relate to a calorie in vs. calorie out just is not how this works. search the topics already in here, there are several with many good ideas. You will break your stall. You are probably losing inches anyway, btw!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brutallyhonest 3 Posted June 18, 2013 I feel I am in the same boat. Overlooking my diet. I just stopped eating. I know now were supposed to eat 6 times a day small. I still am not eating as well plus the Water intake and my Vitamin intake isn't consistent. I'm not sure if you have same issues???? I still have no energy. So tomorrow I am starting to log... it may help I think I'm just scared to eat it makes me uncomfortable still..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CML65 3 Posted June 18, 2013 I hear you. I'm not eating 6 small meals. More like 3 or 4. But I make sure to drink 1-2 Protein Shakes a day & take my Vitamins. When I eat I get horrible reflux. It makes me not want to eat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CML65 3 Posted June 18, 2013 And like you, I have little energy or tire easily. It's hard for me to walk because I have a bad knee & neck, but I am doing arm toning with light weights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CML65 3 Posted August 1, 2013 Hi. Here's an update. I saw my Dr weeks ago & we discussed my stall. She said, get this, I WASN'T EATING ENOUGH. First time in my life I heard that. Anyway I did what she said and now I'm loosing regularly. I'm down 47 lbs since May. Went from size 20 to a 14. Dr said eat 6 times a day. The day I started that I started loosing. She also said no more shakes. Make your stomach work to digest the food, it's a muscle and it has to move. I have no problem getting my Protein with regular food and eat every 3 hrs. 2 DENA11 and hell reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
