Debbieduck4 399 Posted January 18, 2015 Welcome and congrats on your success! I hear others say to go back to the basics when in a stall... high Protein, lots of Water, journal your food, etc... Maybe that would help you get to where you want to be Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alwaysvegas 702 Posted January 18, 2015 Welcome and warmest congratulations on all you've accomplished! Stalls are most often normal and part of the weight loss. Unless you've changed your diet/exercise routine significantly, then your weight loss will likely start again. I've had two stalls that lasted almost a month each, but the weight loss started up again. I've read that a stall over a month and you should look closely at your caloric intake, carb intake, grazing, exercise routine, and so on...to see if any of those items could be triggering the stall. Of course, we're all different and can stall at different times and for different lengths. Continued success to you and don't get discouraged! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss_Rawnie 5 Posted January 18, 2015 I'm waiting on my nutritionist to come back from vacation a friend of mine told me I'm stalling because I am not eating enough. I started exercising more because it's a great feeling but eating the same amount as when i wasn't exercising & I need to increase intake but a small part of me is scared Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eli Alexander 316 Posted January 18, 2015 Congrats on what you've done so far. I've heard many, including my doctor, say that often you need to increase consumption to get past a stall. Seems counterintuitive, but if you are doing everything else right then try an increase. I'm getting sleeved in 2 days, so I don't have any experience other than what I'm reading.
