Stalled

[sissy 14]

I have been stalled for 2 months now. I have 80 grams of Protein a day. Working out more and nothing. I am 5 months any suggestions? Please HELP Thank you Dawn

So my nut would disagree here....I would decrease my Protein and exercise for 2 weeks (not stop exercising and not eating crap) then starting hitting it hard again. Doing a little shake up in routine seems to be my best options when things freeze for more than a couple weeks. That is personal advice, not professional, 'always ask your surgeon first'

I would call your Dr. An 8 week stall at 5 months is odd. I stall all the time but usually only for a 2-3 weeks then a drop. How many calorie are you eating per day? Are you too low?

[TinyMamiOf3kids 1,280]

We need to eat 1200calories per day. I'm 12 months post up and I try 1200 per day sometimes I hit good other times nope but boy do I try.

I would agree that an eight week stall at five months out would be a good reason to contact your medical team. And though it sounds like a cliché, weight loss or gain is usually directly related to calorie intake. Are you logging your food? If not, My Fitness Pal is a fantastic app that is free and highly recommended by many (myself included). It's easy to use and has a huge food database that has just about anything you can imagine. It also has a bar code scanner that makes scanning in packaged foods a snap. Research has repeatedly shown that folks who log their food are more successful at losing weight and at maintaining their goal weight.

Stay focused on following the protocol as closely as you possibly can, stay active, and stay away from the scales for at least a week and two would be even better. You're gonna love the new you!!

Is there a way to track oz of Water on my fitness pal?

[Lisa R 39]

I wish I could track Water in ounces instead of cups too. I also wish it would total up Protein.< /p>

MFP shows totals. Look at the daily summary. Water is tracked there too.

You can add water in MFP just like you would add food. When you select "Water - Municipal", it comes up as one cup or 8oz. All you have to do is tap "Number of Servings" and select whatever amount you want. So to put in 1oz, just select "1/8" as the serving size, 2oz would be "1/4" etc. If you add one oz of water to your "Frequent" list, then all you have to do is select it and change the serving size to however many oz you want to add. Sounds complicated when you explain it in words but actually doing it takes about 15 seconds!

I'm not sure what Protein total you're looking for but MFP totals protein (and much more) on a daily basis - tap Home > Daily. For example, I know that I had 122g of protein yesterday, 101 the day before, etc. It also shows weekly protein totals - tap Home > Weekly > tap the center button on the upper right side of the screen. For example I know that I've had 325g of protein for the first three days of this week, 632g for the entire week of Jun 17th, etc. And again, it also shows the same daily and weekly numbers for Fat, Cholesterol, Sodium, Potassium, Carbs, Vitamins A and C, Calcium and Iron. It also shows what your goal numbers for each of those and how much you are under/over your goal. And you have control over your "goals" by the settings you choose.

Very powerful app!!
