Has anyone had a long weightloss stall? I'm talking months. It's been since January since I've lost any weight. Idk doesn't seem normal to me. I'm 6 months out and i thought i was still in the honeymoon phase.

I'm hitting my 6 months out as well and have been at a stall for about a month and a half! I'm also eating around 1200 calories a day so that could be it. I have no problem eating 1200 calories so maybe I need to lower my calories a bit? I have a phone appointment with my nutritionist next week and going to discuss!

Stalls typically last 1-3 weeks. If yours has been going on for months, you're probably in maintenance. You'll probably have to lower your calories or increase your exercise (or both) to get things moving again.

Agreed! Its been hard to exercise under quarantine - I've been able to walk every day but I think I definitely need to lower my calories a bit. I can easily eat up to 1500 calories 6 months out with things like dates, dark chocolate, and almonds which add up quick.

Ok thanks! This is definitely hard to figure out when you think you're doing everything right but the weight just isn't coming off. Not eating enough or eating too much.

To much intake vs what you are outaking! Swiitch it up

Lower calories

Fasting will help

More exercise

That is not a stall you have leveled out - to long for a stall

I endured an 11 month stall. I tried lowering calorie intake, carb intake, increased cardio workouts and nothing seemed to work. I was told about intermittent fasting, I tried it and my stall had finally broken.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
