Plateaued after losing 130lbs

[emmybaby666 114]

I have plateaued so hard this last month. I’ve only lost 2 pounds! I know I need to change up what I am doing a bit but I have no motivation. I am an infant toddler teacher and by the end of the day I am completely exhausted. Someone help!

First let me say that you've done incredible! Rather than worrying about the plateau, bask in your success. Second, see if you can just do some walking after work. You'll probably feel pretty good after it's done.

Whenever this happens to me, I need to really analyze my food intake vs my RMR. Of course the most accurate way to get that number is a physical test, but you can do a calculation online for a decent estimate. Then just check that against your calories! I always find that I'm a bit over where I should be. I still eat like an obese person sometimes!

that far out, it would not be that unusual to plateau for a month or so. If it's more than that, you may want to decrease your calories a bit and see if that helps.

I was watching a you tube video of Dr Vuong that someone put me on to. I don't agree with everything he suggests as its contrary to my surgeon and Dietitian but he did point out the various stages people stall. 3 weeks was one 7 months was another. He said it was common to stall for even a month or two. He has a diet plan for his patients but it's not for me but it might suit you. He's easy to find just type the name in you tube. I have stalled a couple if times and upped the Protein and lowered carbs and kickstarted it. Seems to work. I work til 8pm so I try to have easy options during the week and cook and freeze a few things on the weekend. Doesn't take long just an hour or so on a sat or sun. Congratulations with the weight-loss so far you'll get there [emoji4]
