Stalling or Slow Weight Loss?

MaeMae223

If any of you out there are like me, and started seeing a slow weight loss at the start of Phase 2 (not sure how because Workouts 5 and 6 are NO cake walk), I tried something this week that worked. I don't have too much more weight to lose so the weight loss has been about 1-1.5 pounds a week. I noticed that after the first week of Workouts 5 & 6, I felt a little bulky in my arms, and when I weighed in I only lost -0.2 pounds which was discouraging. SO I decided incorporate Workouts 1 and 2 back into the mix. I know she says not to do additional weight training, but I make sure that the weight training matches so Workout 5 is front of the body, so I make sure I do Workout 1 which is also front of the body. Essentially I'm doing extra weight training, and I chose Workouts 1 and 2 because they start off slow. I weighed myself again after two days of putting Workouts 1 and 2 back into my workout routine, and I've lost 1.2 pounds! My arms have also toned back up...not sure what caused that. I also do at least an hour to an hour and a half of cardio each day. I was a little bummed on Monday at weigh in, but feel like I've found the answer. We'll see what happens next week. Let me know if this works for any of you!

Thanks for the info! I just posted about having a similar experience beginning phase 2 and may have to kick it up a notch using your advice!
