What do you do to amp up your weight loss/break a stall?

They gave me a muscle relaxer. I can't have the prenisone/steroids because of the surgery, which is what they would have given me otherwise. I go to the chiropractor and his massage therapist weekly. I wear a soft collar when I can. It's not really improving too much. I will probably have to go for the MRI by my doc (but my chiropractor swears it will get better...very minimal improvement in the last month). I don't want another surgery and can't afford that. Maybe physical therapy too. I do all the exercises they gave me. I guess, that too, is a slow process.

As for the weight loss, yeah, I'll just keep working the plan. I know you are all such gurus, so I figured I'd ask if there was a little something anyone does to break a stall. I reviewed my food logs and I'm around 500 to 600 calories. Protein goals vary - I try and hit goal everyday, but those days I'm not super hungry, it's hard. I need to invest in some of that flavorless Protein Powder (the company that makes the shakes I drink has them). I'm on top of the water/hydration, but sometimes my Protein goals can be better, so I'm adding a protein snack (so calories are more around 600 these days).

Thank you Fluffy (and thank you everyone!!!).

You know you are right around the 3mo mark. I think if I remember, I had a heller stall around month 3? Make sure you are making your protein goals hon. ((hugs)) And make sure you are really drinking your Water. No doubt the pain has your cortisol levels up which jacks with insulin which you know what that means...less weight loss. Hang in there!!

I am good with my Water intake. I seem to hit or exceed that goal daily. I am not always the best with my protein goal, but I've made that a bigger priority. The scale did move today. .6 Lbs - I'll take it!

Happy New Year! Thank you for all you post. I read your comments all the time. You're an awesome inspiration!
