HI! My name is Brenda. I need some fresh new ways to break a stall!
I have tried most of the ones I have read, and right now I am upping my carbs from the regular 20 to 30 daily. Which has been a fear of mine, because I have always fiqured if I did not stick to the 20 or below, I would gain for sure!!
I have done the meat and egg fast. Worked once broke through a 2 month stall, and then I went right back to losing nothing!!
I have tried, sometimes without knowing, to raise my calories, or drop my calories. Neither seem to work!
This gets old, and when you for the most part do it by the book, and still no results you end up so frustrated that have to fight not to give in and give up!
I am hoping there are people out there that have some fresh ideas on breaking the stalls, and ones that have done the different things that has actually worked for them!
My fitday is public, so anyone that wants to look at that is welcome to. Maybe someone can see a reason for the stall, maybe there is a pattern here I am not seeing myself.
I began Atkins in 2004 and stuck to it for 8 months. Then over the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays I fell off (Stupid, I know!). I gained 13 pounds back, after losing 32 pounds total!, and in Feb. I went back on Induction. It took 2 months to lose 2 pounds!
Since I have lost 8 pounds! Nothing like the last time, I was melting quick! This time the only thing that did get the weight going down, was the M&E Fast. I lost 6 of the 8 then. Then back to nothing lost again!
I am walking 1 to 2 miles a day, and today I am adding different exercises to that.
Bad thing is I was down to 160 and after about 4 days of walking 2 miles daily, I went back up to 164, where I am now!! Something is wrong with this picture! I know I have not built muscle walking, and even a small amount of muscle is not going to put 4 pounds on me!
I have lost 2 inches on my waist, which is the first since Feburary! But, like the 4 pounds, in a week the inches will probably be back!
Oh, I have never been out of Induction. I was there for 8 months in 2004, and have been there for 3 months this time. Anyone think this may be my problem? If so let me know what I can, or should do.
I am Induction secure. Afraid of what will happen if I go on!
Ok, I think that pretty much explains where I am at, and I hope that someone out there has a technique, or way of getting this going the right direction!
I want to, in advance Thank anyone who replies!
Have a Wonderul Week!
Brenda
