14 weeks out tomorrow and a stall??



Recommended Posts

Ok, so I know that one week does not a stall make....I lost NOTHING last week and it's looking pretty slim for my weigh in tomorrow (6/21/11).....My weight loss has taken a nosedive since I started doing the c25k!! How frustrating!! My average calories over the last 2 weeks have been 1146/day, I average 68g of carbs, I average 84g of Protein (almost all from food sources), I drink 9-12 cups of Water, and I workout 3x/week. I'm not sure what else to do!! I'm going to start weight training today and on every day (but Sunday) that I'm not doing c25k. I have pcos and have VERY inconsistent cycles, so I could be getting ready for TOM and not know it...... I'm just a little frustrated. My brain knows that this could just be my body regrouping and the weight will start coming off again soon...but my old fat self is freaking out and would have quit the new lifestyle I've created because I'm not seeing much progress right now! LOL....any suggestions would be appreciated and welcomed!! Thanks!

Hi. I'm right there with ya! I had surgery 4/12/11 and I have not lost a pound in a week! This is the first time I have stalled like this. I'm trying not to get too discouraged, and I know I didn't eat great this past weekend, but NOTHING to be stuck at! I am back to cottage cheese for Breakfast, greek yogurt for lunch and a mostly Protein dinner...something has to work! Hope you break your stall FAST!!!

I know that voice....telling you that this is the end, no more loss! But its not true. You have been spectacularly successful... your body can't keep that up in one week and out the other... it will catch its breath and head back down... Here is a graph of my last 8 weeks... see all the ups?... they eventually all go down so far....

What is the c25k?

I dont know if it has anything to do with your slowdown, but my doc and nut say eat around 800 cals a day for the whole middle of the losing phase... I am averaging 900 a day because I work out 5 days a week.... the nut said to up my calories a little if I work out more, which I am right now. It looks like your Protein and Water are excellent... adding a weight day I'm sure will be good too..Just because you are having a few weeks losing slowly does not mean it will stay that way... it just may be a slow/go month... it can happen...

c25k...Couch to 5 k. I'm glad everyone can talk about their up and downs. Including stalls. It is so hard to expect one thing and get another. Good luck!

How do you screen shot your graph? I want to show mine as well.

How do you screen shot your graph? I want to show mine as well.

On an apple the shortcut is:

option-shift-4 to select a portion of the screen, a target/bullseye will appear in place of the pointer and you can left click and hold while you drag it over where you want to save.

option-shift-3 to take a pict of the whole screen...

If it is working, you will hear a camera shutter sound when it "shoots" the pic.

If you have a PC, you will have to look it up on the web... not sure about that one....

good luck! I would love to see some other graphs!

Don't allow your success to be measured by the scale and only the scale. We all have stalls and even slight gains. You are doing all of the right things. Your intake is right on track and you will start losing again. We tend t get caught up in the number on the scale because it is really the only measure we have to see our success on a daily basis. Your lifestyle is your success. People that follow the plan succeed.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
