I have been in a 6 week stall and whining about it, getting depressed, ignoring advice. Finally, 5 days ago I decided to go back to Fitday. Of course, Fitday had two effects 1) It let me see what I was doing and 2) it made me better behaved! SO I gave up sugar alcohols and nuts and voila! the scale moved! How predictable is that! What a twit I have been.

So 5 days of 65-70% fat, under 20 grams carbo, and I have lost 3 lbs. And this after 6 weeks of stall. Maybe this diet is simpler than I think.

So, how do I change my current weight indication!!! yipee

Hopefully by now you have found out how to change your stats! LOL

Congrats on breaking your stall!

I agree, recording everything in fitday really does make you better behaved. I was so surprised at how quickly those carbs add up. Doing it in my head just wasn't getting it done!

Yes Fitday is a real eye opener. Today I consumed almost 800 calories at breakfast and wonder why I am not losing....hah! Thanks for the tip!

Mhudnal, they are talking about www.fitday.com
Its a site that calculates all your calories/fat/carb/protein when you input what you eat. Sorry no one answered you earlier.

It is amazing how much a person can absent-mindedly put in their mouth isn't it! I know writing every thing down makes a huge difference for me, too.

It is truly amazing how much we eat without paying any attention at all......makes all the difference in the world when you record it for a while. A real eye opener!!!

Glad you figured it out!

I'll bet many of us, if not most of us, have been in a similar situation. They always say, Write It Down, and this is why! I wonder how many "stalls" are really bouts of absent-minded eating, or thinking we know whatever rules we are following. It's also amazing how big a half a cup is, until you measure it :)
