What do you consider a stall?

  • Author

I had surgery on 5-20-15 and have lost 42lbs but for the past two weeks I've not lost anything I've been the same weight, stuck .. And it's discouraging

Stick to the program and be aware that patience will be an I,port ant component of the process.

It is common to hit a stall during the process. When mine happened, I looked at the calories I was consuming. I figured out that as my meal volume increased, I was consuming more calories. I focused my meals on high Protein. That allowed me to drop the number of Protein shakes (and the calories in the protein shakes) I was consuming which lead to a drop in calories. Then I started losing weight again.

Also even though you might not see a loss on the scales during this time, you body may be readjusting and the weight loss my show up on a reduction in clothing sizes. That is a win too.

Do you measure? If the scale isn't moving, seeing the inches drop helps as encouragement. Also for me, I have noticed if I focus on my protein I do better. The more protein I get from real food, the better I lose. I have baked dark chicken meat that I keep and snack on it in between waters or have a Greek yogurt. Everyone is different so just play with it and see what works for you. Good luck and you will do great!
