Plateau

[jasoncunningham 2]

I am 49 days out and have lost 47 pounds, which I know is nothing to be upset about. The weight loss has slowed almost to a stop though. In fact, I haven't lost in a couple of days. Is this the dreaded plateau? If it is, does anyone have any suggestions for breaking it? I eat mostly Protein, between 60-80 a day. I'm still only able to take in about 2 oz of food at a time. I was just wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I'm down 47 pounds since surgery on March 11 and down 75 since January.

You can't expect to keep losing at a rate of almost a pound a day forever. It's going to slow way down at some point and probably stop entirely several times along the way. You just have to keep focused on your program. If you are doing everything right, you have nothing to worry about. The weight will come off.

Yes, it's a stall. Won't be your last, either.

Like Jamie said, stay with your program and it will pass. If it's going to drive you crazy, don't weigh as much so you don't see the scale at a standstill. Also remember you may still be losing inches instead, so get out the tape measure!

You have lost 47 pounds! Celebrate.

None of us lose weight at a constant or steady rate. We all hit stalls and plateaus periodically. Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight.

Embrace the Stall!

BE VERY THANKFUL!!!!!

Stay on the plan and keep in touch with your NUT.
