Plateau while on IP
 

Hi everyone,
I started IP back in Feb 29 2012 and I've gone from 219lbs to 161lbs. For the past 2 weeks I've been stuck at 161lbs and I've been following the diet outline 100%.

Has anyone got stuck? What did you do to overcome it?

Was just going to ask a similar question! I'm searching still in case this has been answered but I"m only on week 4 and after 12 lbs, just stopped. I had the flu for 3 days and counselor said water weight and getting food back in would prevent weight loss right away but it's been another week (being strict) and nothing. I was on a such a good roll, i'm just heartbroken. :(

It seems there is another post about this here! I hope things work out for you! My coach told me sometimes the body will plateau but get back into gear after a couple of weeks. Going to stick with it as always and hope for the best!

Maybe try adding a bit more protein like a couple of egg whites and see if that helps.

thanks! ill give that a try :)

have you been getting all your veggies and water? I think that is what has slowed me down at times.

yes :) i measure everything exact and drink my 32oz nalgene bottle twice through out the day. i even use a scale to measure out the protein. i think today i broke the plateau as i was stuck at 161 and finally hit 159. thanks for the help everyone! ill remind myself to not freak out about these things and just stick with it till the very end :)
