I'm actually doing some gut health corrections, which includes removing all added splenda (no Mio or WF or other added sweet, except for liquid stevia or xylitol). After that, if I'm still stuck, we're going to do adrenal testing to check for adrenal fatigue, cortisol levels, more thyroid tests, etc. There is certainly something blocking my ability to lose more weight and I plan on getting to the bottom of it.
You & I are the same height, have the same goal, but are very different ages.
May I suggest giving it a couple of more weeks?
From watching some of our maintainers lose those last few lbs, it sometimes took a LONG time (months, instead of weeks). I've seen people bounce up/down and then suddenly get another whoosh. And I'd suggest removal of all extra sources of sucralose, including WF, Mio, Torani, etc . As I use up my packets, etc, I'll be replacing with stevia-sweetened protein such as Syntrax Nectar Naturals. Be sure to mix-up your food. Change-up your menus and protein sources.
And if a couple more weeks don't give you any more downward movement on the scale, you may want to read Lyle McDonald's book, Rapid Fatloss Handbook (available PDF online). It was after reading that when I decided to take a Phase 1 break, cycling through p2 ,3 and back to 1. That resulted in another loss but not the ongoing WL I needed to get to goal.
Hang in there! I'm still searching for an answer to my plateau. You'll get to the bottom of yours.
Thanks. Lisa. I have been using Mio a few times a week to try to help make sure I'm getting in my water. Going to stop that! I usually have some sort of beef or chicken as my protein one day one, the next day the other. Originally Posted by lisa32989

Let me know how all your tests go! I will keep my fingers crossed that you get some answers!
