I want to thank all of the people who posted tips for avoiding and overcoming a stall. Here is my story..

I survived induction and managed to drop 10 pounds...but then for about four weeks, nothing. I just kept trying the same things with no additional weight loss, until I found this forum.

Here's what I did to get back to loosing weight and stop getting frustrated with myself

• cut out nuts totally
• reduced my salad intake to 3 cups a day
• reduced my other veggie intake to 1 cup a day
• cut out pepperoni
• added situps and pushups in addition to my power walking
• cut caffine intake in half (tried none but baddd headaches)
• limited my after dinner snacking to an ounce of cheese or a few pork rinds
• cut out olives

oh yeah, after induction I thought it would be alright to have a couple Miller Lites after a hard days work as long as I counted the carbs (about 7). I stopped that altogether during the week and limit myself to one per day on the weekends.

I've been doing the above for a week now and I feel great and dropped another 6 pounds. For me, I think I'm going to try to stick with this until I near my target and then I can try to reintroduce the nuts and additional veggies for OWL.

I hope this can help someone else the way that it helped me get back on track .. thanks and good luck.
