10 months out and stalled for first time.

[NYCDreamer 38]

Hey all. Haven't been on here much since my sx. Up until this past month I've thought myself to be kind of a model sleever. Logged everything, worked out 6 days a week. No bad foods, lots of Water and Protein. Steady loss each week without fail and no stalls. I've gone from 263 on sx day (11/10/16) to 186. For the last month though, I haven't lost a pound, and even gained (always would lose it and go back to that 186 though). I'm stumped at what it could be. Tried upping carbs a bit (I do a Keto diet mostly) increasing water (I drink 80-90 oz regularly so increasing more hasn't seemed to do anything) and I eat 80-110 oz of protein regularly, and still stuck. Is my metabolism messed up? My calories are usually under 1100, and net carbs under 50.

If anyone has any advice, let me know! My Nut wasn't much help; just said to wait it out. Is that the only thing to do?

Thanks!

Muscle weighs more than fat. Could it be that with all your working out you are gaining muscle?

A pound of feathers weighs the same as a pound of rocks. A pound is a pound. Density and volume are different.

It is pretty normal to stall and for an extended period of time. I had a stall like that, I thought I was done losing. In that time I dropped 2 sizes, then I started dropping weight again and lost like another 30 pounds.

If you have been losing steady all this time, your body is just probably taking a break.

Maybe? I do a lot of biking and I know my legs and thighs are getting muscular (under that flabby skin unfortunately) but it just seems weird that it's happening like now. I've been working out since 6 weeks after SX. Constantly. It's just frustrating. I don't want to be in maintenance yet. I still have 35 lbs I want to lose.

Here's hoping. Thanks for the support, much appreciated!

Take a week off the gym. You can do active things like go for walks, but don't do much more than that.
