So I just had my third weigh in and I lost 3lbs. I have lost 14lbs total so far but its slowing down (obviously). What tips do you have to keep things moving and avoid that week 4 or week 5 stall out that I have read about? I am soo wanting to be at 175 next week (which would be a loss of 7#)...ideas?

I am not sure if there is anything to do but live through it. From what I can tell (and my experience) is the majority of us go through it. Maybe you will be one of the exeptions, who knows??? But I guess if you are eating a restricted everyday, you could try to not eat any restricteds. If you don't do any exercise, maybe you could start walking? Try not to eat out? Just a couple of ideas based on what I have read around here. The best piece of advice I received and will give to you, is no matter what, stick to the program.

I agree I went through the same thing. WI 4 was a gain of .4 I dont know how. today is WI 5 I am not expecting anything earth shattering. So lets see what happens. But I agree most of us have had this stall and just worked throgh it. you could try and up your water intake as well

If you figure out the magic secret let us all know!!! I lost 4 in wk1, 3 in wk2, 2 in wk3, 2 in wk4 and 2 in wk 5. I am in wk6 now and I am hoping the swoosh fairy comes to visit! Overall, I am very happy! I have never been able to lose 13 lbs in 5 weeks!

I too have had a slow down week 4 and 5, my coach recommended increasing protein. She said have 4 packets a day for a week. We will see if it is helpful next week. It appears that most people do this.
