stalled and don't know why
 

ok I have gone back to the flex plan and it works for me but ...I seem to stall every 2 weeks I will lose then two weeks in a row nothing even though I stay within my points...help

If you stay on plan, does the weight loss pick up again (that's what it sounds like you're saying). If so, that's not a stall, that's a normal fluctuation. If you "stall every 2 weeks" but lose the other weeks, that's not a stall - that's losing in "whooshes" and it's perfectly normal.

I gain weight during the 10 - 12 days surrounding my period - up to 10 lbs. That's not a stall or a plateau or even a true gain - it's just a normal pattern of my body.

Imagine 4 people with the same starting weight/metabolism and all staying equally "on plan"


Person #1 loses 1.5 lbs each week for 4 weeks

#2 loses 1 lb the first week then gains 2 lbs, loses 1 lb, loses 6 lbs

#3 loses 6 lbs the first week, loses 0 for the next 3 weeks

#4 loses 6 lbs, gains 2, gains 4, loses 6


All three have lost the same amount of weight in a month. All three have done equally as well. Not a single one of them experienced a "stall," and none of them need any adjustments made to their plans.


You may not need any help at all. You may just need to become familiar with your normal fluctuations.

Kaplods...WONDERFUL examples! This helped ME too!

I lose a couple of weeks in a row, then nothing. Then I lose. Then nothing. Then I lose. Then I gain. Then I lose. Then nothing. But the line on the chart keeps going down so I keep going.

Thank you for the insights this has helped me.....I will keep at it I hope ot hit my target by August
