Question Plateaus??????

How early on did you hit one?

how long did it last?

Did you do anything special to break it?

I feel spoiled. I am used to seeing the numbers go down consistantly. TOM is just about over and I haven't lost any weight in a few (say 6) days.

This is normal?

Peach this is VERY normal. I lost 16 lbs in the first 2 weeks and then nothing for the rest of the month! I thought I was the only person that this was not going to work on!

I have found that I only lose certain times of the month! It will continue to come off, but your body takes little "breaks" and there is nothing you can do about it!!!

make sure you're following the rules: water. protein, no carbs. get some exercise.

and if that doesn't work, then just relax. as long as you know that you're doing everything you can to stay on track, then it's just your body taking a break.

although some extra water never hurts. and some folks, when they hit serious stalls, increase their protein and exercise as well. this whole thing works very much like atkins, i think. except that it DOES WORK!!!!

but at 3 weeks, you're unlikely to have hit this kind of serious stall. as long as you're doing what you're supposed to, then it's just your body.
