BGB reacted to MeanSleevedMachine in that horrible stallThe way I broke stalls was the reverse of what everyone in this thread is saying. I did two things anytime I stalled more than a few days.
I upped my calories 150-200 per day at each stall and drank a ton of water/tea the first few days. I also stopped all exercise except walking for a few days.
Once I started losing again and my body didn’t fear starvation, I went back to business as usual.
I never hit a stall longer than a week with this. Well, until month 9. By then I had lost almost 200 lbs and intentionally started eating more to slow down the weight loss as I slide into my goal weight. -
BGB reacted to comingupmilhouse in that horrible stallMe too. Six weeks in and this is my second stall. I'm doing everything right, and yet... It's just dispiriting to have done all of this and feel like it's not working. So. What I'm doing to stay positive and keep on track is that I pulled out a few pieces of clothing that I'm really close to fitting in to, like five to ten pounds away, plus the dresses I was wearing pre-surgery up on the wall to remind me that I'm making progress and hang in there. And I spent yesterday doing fun stuff, like going to the movies and getting a blow out. And I'm going to put my scale away until Friday because seeing the number not move every day is not a loving thing to do.
We'll get through this, damn it!
