Crap. The Stall!

So it has happened. I knew it would, but hoped it wouldn't! I have hit the stall. I dropped 18 pounds the first two weeks and now have stopped. I knew I shouldn't have weighed myself this week.

This blows. :( So now I wait? I up my calories? I lower them? Leave them alone?

Advice?

What are you eating? How many calories and protein?

I stalled from week 2 to week 4.5....don't stress over the scale....it'll start moving again....until then just put the scale away!!! Best of luck to u!!

I stalled at the end of my 2nd week and didn't lose anything for eight days. I was so upset and thought I wasn't going to lose anymore. It broke and I kept losing. Now I come to expect a stall at the beginning of each month which lasts 5 days. I have lost 52 pounds in four months. So, don't worry. It will be over before you know it.

I get about 500 - 600 calories in each day. I am getting in an average of 45ish grams of Protein a day. I just moved to purees, so it should be a little easier now to get it all in.

I will try to relax and just let the week go by without freaking out. :)

My suggestion would be to increase your protein to 70 to 90 grams a day. That will speed up the weight loss.

I had a stall the 3rd week...I upped my calories as much as I could without going off plan and it worked! That's what I suggest.

PAAHHH!!! I've been stalled for 5 weeks. I've raised my calories, I've lowered my calories, I've exercised more, I've exercised less, drank more Water, less water, stood on my head during a full moon and counted to 3,000. So now I'm just following the rules.....and waiting. Everyone assures me it will happen. So....I .....will......wait. Grrrr.
