Been basically stuck for a month! I know I know, it happens, I know everyone gets tired of seeing these posts... but I needed to b*tch about it! lol

I hate it when that happens ?

YOOOO i am right there with ya lol. I gained what 4lb in water weight. Lost it but still stuck at the same weight as last month. UGH!!!! LMAO

Hmmm, yes it stinks. Its just not as much fun when you can not adjust your ticker every day. I use MY FAT SECRET to track my food and if I don't adjust my weight every two weeks it prompts me to update. It always feels as if it is judging me, lol. I usually swear at it.

yea, it sucks! haha

I have my 9 month follow up next week, I am just gonna check with the Dietician and see if he has any pointers to get it moving again. Currently, I am just following my plan and trying to wait it out.

I only weigh myself on Mondays, so I am not worried about the daily ticker change.

I just want to keep moving, even if it is slow.

My one pointer given by my nutritionist recently was to "eat more" lol. I was like WTF? and she was like if you eat less you can gain weight. she went on and on explaining it but i forgot haha. basically make sure you are on a stable diet getting around the same calories everyday

Yeah, I have heard that before too.

Right now I eat per my plan, about 1000 calories a day but sometimes as much as 1200.

i stopped keeping track after the 2nd month lol. It drove me nuts when i would cook and add things and trying to figure out calories and carbs and such. i was like F that lol

Girl, Same.... I have only lost 2.5 lbs in the last month and it is driving me nuts.

I feel your pain! I seems to hit long plateaus and they are frustrating. I saw that although the scale wasn’t moving in those weeks - my body was changing, clothes were still getting smaller, skin was firming or readjusting - so that was nice to see!

I noticed my calories and protein were on the low side because I’m struggling with amounts I can eat but when I can bump those calories and protein up some, I would notice a loss.

Keep up the good work! We can do this!! :)

Ooooh... where do I get a signature like these??

I just started yet another stall. Each one lasts longer than the last, and my last one was 4 weeks long. So I'm just settling in for the loooong miserable wait to get out of it. Last time I was in it, my nutritionist recommended adding weight training and switching up my calories (1200-1300 on working out days and 900-1000 on non working out days). I added weight training 2 days per week and eventually upped it to 3 days per week. I also reached out to my cousin (she's a professional trainer in AZ) and she gave me some tips for cardio to build up strength and switch up what I do. I ended up losing 13 pounds in 2 weeks doing that. Aaaaand...now my body is freaking out about the large amount of weight loss and I'm in a stall again.

Yep, I hear that. I'm in my first real stall since starting to lose weight. (Fake stalls are where it's obvious why you're not losing weight and it's cheeseburger or couch-shaped.)

Trying to just stick with the program, keep up my activity and not freak out, but trying not to freak out is like trying not to breathe for me. ?
