Dreaded stall

[GenaW828 117]

Well I'm 4 weeks out almost and I haven't been on the scale since my 2 week appointment. I got on it today and it hasn't moved. I really want to be under 300 before the month end. 21lbs to go I started working out so hopefully that helps..any other suggestions to help

Ok, I just had my nutritionist 3 week nutrition class today, and he gave some tips on why the scale may slow down this early out. He said that if we don't have some form of food/protein in some form every few hours it affects how our bodies process the nutrition. Stalls are hardly ever from eating too many calories at this stage in the game. He suggested that we start something within an hour of waking, and at least every 3-4 hours after that. Super early on, the plan my nut gave was to drink 2 oz of Protein every hour and the rest of the time drink on Water, but as we go forward he's told us to now use Protein shakes more like a meal, and only work on it for 20 to 30 minutes, then put it away for later.

This was the nutrition class for 3 week people for weeks 4-8. Different doctors and nutritionists have different suggestions, so go with what they say, but I thought this info was pretty helpful and so I'm passing it along for what it's worth. Good luck on breaking that stall soon!
