stalled

Well I knew it would happen eventually. After a spectacular weight loss, I've finally stalled. For the last three weeks I've been up and down a couple of pounds but can't seem to move the scale even though I've not changed my food intake or eating habits. I've been a little tempted to lower my calorie intake but I'm already at or around 1,000 calories a day and I don't think fewer calories will make a difference. Plus I eat healthy so it's not like I'd cut out any bad food choices.

So...while this bit of a plateau is a little disappointing, I have to remember I've already dropped 67 pounds since January 1st and have to just power through this. I'm glad I'll be away for a few days next week and won't be focusing on the scale.

I am so there. Just push through. That's what I'm doin. Have a good day. 67 lbs is awesome!!!

Have you read the posts in the nutrition section about carb cycling? There are a lot of people that tried it when they stalled and it worked. I think you can just search carb cycling and find it. Congrats on the great weight loss!

You have done great!! Hopefully you body will kick into the loosing mode soon.

hey bubie...how are you doing? haven't seen you online recently. everything good?

You could try changing things up a bit to try and break your plateau. For some people that means slightly increasing the number of calories, introducing a new exercise, do a little more or little less. The idea is to jolt your body out of its management of what you are currently doing.

Good luck.

I'm good just trying to keep working on this path - I'm on. Have you thought of maybe switching you food around, maybe this will schock your body and help you move away from the plateau you are on.

Hang in there !!! Enjoy your 67 lbs off and your getaway!!!

yeah...I'm a diet veteran like most of us on this journey. If the scale doesn't start moving down soon, I'll look to change it up a bit and see if that helps. I just wish I could exercise....the knee is worse than ever and I'm going for an MRI next week to see just how bad it is. Knee replacement may come sooner than later....

I am in the same pedictiment. I have been at the same 65 pounds lost for almost 3 months now. I tried to change up the exercise routine and managed to hurt my knee 3 weeks ago in the process. Had an MRI today and go over results Monday. Ready to get off light weigh bearing and get my workouts started again.

Good luck! You've come so far, just keep moving forward
