Plateaus

Looks like we had surgery around the same time and I was experiencing the same thing a few weeks ago. I decided to quite counting my calories for a while and just focus on stopping when I am satisfied and exercising. I went on vacation and was eating higher calorie foods than normal (but still in small portions) and after I returned home, that next week I lost about 3 pounds. I think sometimes your body gets in a rut when you are doing the same thing over and over. You may want to try not counting the calories or try changing some of the foods you are eating for a while and see if that helps. Good luck!

i'm having the same problem and i am tryn to up my protein intake and switch up my exercise, by doing interval training for cardio..we'll see if this helps

I know this will sound contradictory to weight loss, but have you considered raising your calories just 100-200 a day? I know it doesn't make sense, but I was slowing down and read about how the body actually DOES need some carbs to kick start it into weight loss sometimes. So, I allowed myself more carbs for a week increased my calories by 200, and shock of shocks, I lost 8 pounds that week. I went back to my normal routine the following week, and lost another 4 pounds. Perhaps it could help you off your plateau, too.

Try the 5 day pouch test. I started doing it this week, they say it helps break plateaus.

What is the 5 day pouch test?

@Mis73...did u gain weight while increasing your calories?

Jennifer please let me know if that helps!
