This stall has been a real B*TCH!!!!
For the past few months, I have been stuck in the low 160s and I can't seem to break loose from that number. It seems like it doesn't matter whether I high carb, low carb, etc. Is it possible that my body is just done losing? I'm trying to think of different ways to help jump start the weight loss again. Maybe I need to go hardcore with exercising? I'm also thinking about doing a weekend of protein shakes only? Any advice? I know stalls are normal, but it's been this way for a few months now.
Now, I am 5'5"... at 150 I currently wear a size 8 (maybe a 6 depending on the fit), a small or med size dress, and a small or med shirt. Although my goal is 135, I think if I were to get all my loose skin on my stomach removed, I would be happy with where I am currently at.
So thankful for my DS! 1/20/2012 - SW 290/CW 155 - 1 year to lose, 1.5 years and counting maintaining!

I have had nothing but stalls (every 2-4 weeks I would show a loss on the scale) and someone here told me the secret and it works and I do it now whenever I stall - UP your protein - get a big briskett roast and eat it all over a few days is what I did the first time and it broke my last stall and kept me going as I have lept eating bigger portions of meat and eggs and kept adding protein as much as I can stand . .and it keeps coming off now. Try it. I was skeptical at first! ALso get rid of the scale. I did and I dont think about it or focus on it now- sometimes I forget to weight for weeks so by then I have lost again . .
My questions are: what are your labs and what vites are you taking? How much protein do you get? How much by food? How much by protein shakes?
I easily got to middle normal BMI but I am tall. Whenever my weight loss slowed down Gina (Major Mom) advisded me to up my protein shakes and that usually did the trick.
I suggest you start posting in her bites and vites thread because the folks there seem to do really really well. Plus you get great ideas for low carb foods!!
