2 Month update

[lvidacovich 372]

Yesterday was 2 months for me. Still at 57 pounds down - been at 270 for a week now. Hovering between 270-272 depending on the day. I've been following my plan, tracking my food and everything but still no movement. This is my first true stall, the others were just slowdowns but I'd still lose a pound or two over the course of the week. It's incredibly frustrating. I hope I'm not one of those who lose 50-60 pounds quickly and just stop. I didn't do all this just for that.

Working out has been going good, hitting it at least 5 days a week. Lifting 3x and barre or walking the other 2 days. I plan to go home and walk 3 miles today and hope that helps my stall. I'll be INCREDIBLY mad if I hit Xmas at 270.

It will un stall (is that a word) been stalled a few times - but they let loose after about 8 days

I agree the working out is really doing the job I am on week 3 of cross fit and can already tell

There is no such thing as people not being able to lose weight. The only people who stop are those who:

a) Put themselves into starvation mode, and get a protracted stall while losing muscle mass.

b) Eat in you case, over about 2600 calories per day.

It's just math, and you have been doing great. But honestly you are at the weight now, that I started at, so there should be no difference between us from here on out, except you've got more practice 🙂

Ok - I'll hope for something tomorrow or on Xmas then! And of course this was preceded by a random drop from 274 to 270 last week so I'll just say it took me a week to actually lose that 4 pounds lol!

Thank you! Logically I know the math is there I burn 400-800 cals a day working out depending on what I do and I eat around 750 cals a day so it's just a matter of catching up and making it all work out!

Stalls suck! Hang in there and don't deviate from your course! You're doing so great!!

Just like fluffy said. Stick to you plan. Stalls happen. It happened for me at about the same time. i was stuck and thought the surgery failed me. I think all of us at one point have had that doubt. No worries. Out of no where the weight will drop again. Its an even better feeling when you break a stall. So hang tough!!

CONGRATS TO YOU THROW THAT DAMN scale OUT THE WINDOW FOR TWO WEEKS THE STALL WILL BREAK AND YOU WONT EVEN KNOW IT (I HAVE BOUGHT THREE scales IN A YEAR CAUSE OF THE DREADED STALLS)

57lbs is great. I think I lost about 60 in 2 months and have been losing consistently

[lvidacovich 372]

Got on the scale this morning and saw 268.5! Had a nice 3 mile walk yesterday and I'm going to hit the gym today. Would LOVE to hit 267 this week and be at 60 pounds total. I'm also a good 2-3 weeks ahead of the goals needed to hit 250 before my Hawaii trip.
