May 5, 201016 yr Watch your fat & carb intake. Make a food journal maybe, to help you track your losses & gains vs. what you're eating, you may find a pattern. (Calories should obviously be at least 500 lower than your daily needs to lose) excercise & slowly increase your intensity. Your metabolism can easily adjust to lower caloric intake & hold on to fat. Boost it with regular excercise. For me excercise is key to my losses as I have no or at least very little restriction as of yet!
May 5, 201016 yr I'm in the same boat. I think I have good restriction (I've had two fills), but at this point I think the scale won't move again until the liquid diet accompanying the next one. That seems to be my pattern, even though I'm exercising my ass off. It was suggested to me that I might not be eating enough calories. Maybe that's worth a try? In the end though, unless you're eating more than you think you are, I think it's an old fashioned, annoying plateau :thumbup:
May 6, 201016 yr Author Well - I went on vacation and since the week before and since my work schedule and kid schedule has not allowed me to get to the gym - i am sure that is part of it.. My diet was off while on vacation but i maintained and didnt gain, when i came home i was having a hard time eating anything.. lots of pbing, couple vomiting - so unfortunatly i was resorting to soft foods - slider - mashed potatoes and stuff like that - As of yesterday i have turned my eating around and i think im back on track - chewing chewing and slow eating is my enemy and that is what i need to think about every meal. Todays food was - 1/2 cup special k protien plus with 1/2 cup skim milk. mid morning was a protien shake lunch was 2 string cheese and a yogurt ( lunch at work is very hard for me to eat i always get pbing from only having 30minutes to eat and thinking about the next thing i have to do ) dinner was slice a moist meatloaf made with half burger half ground turkey , sliced cucumbers and 1/4cup of corn snack just a little while ago was six crackers with hummus. what do you all think. i know im probably not getting enough protien - shake is 25g yogurt is 6g meatloaf ?? hummus 5-6 i think.
SO what is this ??
I am not losing, but i definitely do not need a fill -
