:congrat: on your weight loss so far :high: I use to stall out often and was told to try calorie cycling since I counted calories and it worked. I haven't had any stalls in a while. I just go back and forth between the same few pounds :dizzy: Hopefully you'll see some movement soon :crossed:

I've been doing a modified version of Paleo with my youngest daughter- it did help get four pounds off, finally! Thank you so much for your kind words and help! :hug: I hope that you had a great loss this week! It sure was a challenge with Easter- I did very well yesterday, just a couple of treats, but stayed on plan for the rest of it. Hopefully, it will reflect that in next week's weight loss, lol!

-Steelslady- I'm feeling a bit stuck in one place too.. What kind of things work for you when you're having the MOST success??? AND, what things do you think are your biggest stumbling blocks/times/triggers ?? -- We can brainstorm together and see if we can just take one step in the right direction.. if we do that, that other foot will have no choice but to follow!

The best that works for me, believe it or not, is to simply switch diets around. High Fiber, Lower Carb, Paleo, Calorie counting, Carbohydrate Addict's Diet, and may try the Belly Fat Cure by Jorge Cruise again during a future stall.
I recently switched over to a modified version of Paleo with my youngest daughter who wants to lose weight for her prom (we still eat some dairy), and finally, some weight is coming off. Bad thing about the Paleo diet is I am in the kitchen way too much, not enough time for exercise. I can see that I will be switching off of this diet soon- I miss my exercise time, believe it or not! I don't feel as good without doing it. :D
How are you doing? I hope you can find something to help you get your weight loss going again- it is frustrating to be so close to goal- you can taste it, but it can seem out of reach!
I also don't believe in going too low in calories. To me, it's not healthy and sets a person up for easier weight gain in the future. Hence, why I just switch diets around. ;)

Whoo Hoo! Lost 7lbs! I know that's not typical, and I sure won't expect it next week, but I am so happy!
I hope every one is doing ok.
Steelslady, I hope you are out of your stall. If not I am sure things will get going again soon. I have seen my share of plateaus and they always go away. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the encouragement! :hug: What an awesome loss you had- keep up the great work! :carrot:
I've been working hard at it, and this weight loss is slower than usual, but I also have a lot going on right now at home, and six people to cook for- 3 different diet plans to make every night. I feel like I live in my kitchen, lol!

Only One Pound
Hello, do you know me? If you don't you should. I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the happiest pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm Only One Pound, just a pound. Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds or fifteen pounds, but never only one, so I just stick around and happily keep you fat. Then I add to myself ever so slyly so that you never seem to notice it, that is until I've grown to ten, twenty or even more pounds in weight. Yes, it's fun being Only One Pound of fat, left to do as I please. So, when you weigh in, keep right on saying "Oh, I only lost one pound." ( as if that were such a terrible thing!) For you see, if you do this you'll encourage others to keep me around because they will think I'm not worth losing. And I love being around you - your arms, your legs, your chin, your hips and every part of you. Happy Days!! After all, I'm Only One Pound of fat!!!

Thank you so much for this!!!!!!!!!!! :hug: I needed to read it- it is absolutely the truth, too. I remind myself everyday- just one pound a week for three years, and I will be at goal- it's my mantra, lol. Still, it was nice reminder that the "only one pound" is much much better than no pounds lost!
