Hit my first stall...

[twinzrule 23]

I was sleeved 7/8/2013 so it's about three and half months out I'm down almost 60 in total and I just hit my first major stall and I'm totally loosing my motivation. Now it feels like every other diet I've tried works for a while then nothing... I'm so upset I'm turning 30 then end of the year and my goal is to be in "onderland" by then. I'm currently stalled at 227 I feel like I'm just so close but yet so far... Don't know what do to... :-(

Just stick with the plan - Protein, fluids and exercise. If this is your first major stall, you will be worried but like everything else, this too will pass.

Stay calm, don't panic and you will lose again. Might sound a bit wrong but if you feel you need to do something, up your Protein for a few days, then drop it back. That helped me when I stalled exactly where you are - I was stuck for over a month but I had seen others go through the same and come out the other side fine.

Another tip - don't stress, it does have an impact on your body. You have done brilliantly so far, so don't lose hope, no reason to. Have faith in yourself and your sleeve - and your stall will break before you know it :-)))))

One thing I will say I'm learning is that it may not work to set weight loss goals. We can set goals on what we will eat, drink or do for exercise, but we don't control how fast the weight chooses or come off or not.

I'm at 2.5 months but have had two 12-day EACH stalls already. There's not much we can do except keep the faith and control what we can--which is our behavior. So don't get de-motivated, focus on keeping to the plan, and hang in there.
