How to kick-start (restart) weight loss?

Brynich

Hello everyone. So my weight loss was pretty steady until Monday (I started a month ago). On Monday, I became so dehydrated that my saliva ceased to be fluid and rather became very thick and mucous like, and my fingers started to have a moderate tingling sensation (felt like electricity running through them). As soon as I got home, I made sure to drink plenty of fluid and all of those symptoms stopped.

I have noticed that since Monday, the scale has seemed to stop moving almost completely. In fact, today I weigh slightly more than I did on Monday. And my sodium count has been normal, so I doubt that it's water weight. What do you think could be the cause? And how can I jump start my weight loss again?

Should I try dropping my calories by 100-200 per day (As it stands, I eat 1600 calories per day, and do no exercise), or should I try what other people have suggested and eat even more calories? Or should I just keep everything the same for another week and see if things go back to normal before I try something new? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Keep everything the same, except for maybe that whole dehydration thing, for at least 4 weeks. 1 week is hardly enough time to notice much change.

Also, there is no kick start for weightless, at least not one that's going to give you sustainable results.

Weight loss is rarely linear. Just keep doing what you're doing
