weight stall
 

So question, when you first started to calorie count did you notice you lose weight then...it stalls for about 1 week.. Will it kick up again? i mean if your just consistent?

I don't lose the same amount every week. But I do lose. I'm not sure if that's what you're asking? If you go for several weks and don't lose, then you probably need to make an adjustment somewhere. But don't expect to lose a lot, or even a little every single week. You might lose 3 lbs one week, then 1 the next, then nothing, then 2...and so on.

I started my diet modification on 2/20 at 255 pounds.
The first seven weeks I lost 22 pounds. (3.14 lbs per week)
Then for 11 days I only lost 1 pound.
Since then (this past week & a few days) I've lost 6 pounds.

My daily average during those 11 days was about only 50 calories more a day than I have been eating this past week. The only thing I can figure was different in that 11 days is that I was in the process of moving during that time period and I was more stressed and doing more physical labor.

Go figure...

angelskeep i think what i mean was... Even if you stall, do you just keep going the way you are going? and has that worked for you

Your diet modification? do you mean just starting one up?

I would say it depends on how long your stall is and what you are doing. It would be helpfull to know that. But for me, if I have a stall, a higher calorie day will usually help. I may weigh more the very next day, but then I will always go down. Then I go back to my usual. However, my usual does include a higher calorie day at least once per week (not a binge day, just like 3-500 calories higher - if I am normally eating 1200 cals. I will eat 1700 or something like that).

oh ok very cool :) thats kinda what i've been doing... and the times i forget to go higher.. i stall for a week to week and half. maybe thats the trick is giving your self a day or 2 a week to up your intake :)


Thanks ladies!!

I consistently lost for 5 weeks then I stalled. I just upped the calories and that seemed to help move my weightloss along.

I have been stuck for 2 weeks now after 3 months of consistant losing. This coming week I am upping the excercise by adding a walk before work and also upping the veggies. I think I might have been slacking a bit with how precisely I have been tracking my food. I guess I will see in a week or 2.

For the last month or so I've lost but inconsistently and haven't changed my calories really. I'm still losing, just not every week. I'll go like a week then drop 3 pounds in a day, that kind of thing.
