When your weight loss stalled what did you change
Replies

I hired a personal trainer...he pushes me and kicks my butt every single day I work with him....knocked my plateau right out of the water!!!0
-
Increased my calories to maintenance for a couple weeks. Once I lowered them again the weight loss started even though it was the same calories as when I was stalled out.0

switched up my exercises and changed how much i was eating. i was stuck at a plateau about 6-8 weeks, so instead of doing my long walks that werent working anymore, i started doing crunches and pushups. i also ate under what i was, then a few days later would eat more than i was then go back to the regular amount. that worked. i plateuad a little again because my weight is getting too low so then i switched it up and got some dumbbells, also ate higher some days then went back down to what i was. seems to work for me. and drink that water!0

when I hit a plateau, I started searching the forums and then found this:

basically my body became more efficient in using the cals i was getting and in doing the exercises i was doing, so less cals burned....so upped my cals from 1200 to 1350, changed up my exercise and was able to break through! hooray for eating more to lose!0 -

I changed up my workouts. Switchhed from the stationary bike to the rowing machine. Still do 60 minutes on the treadmill. Changed my strength training to only include a few exercises but I do more sets with more weight. I lift as much as I can for as many sets as I can. Then I reduce the weight and do it again. That's 2 hours every other day.
Bench press
Squats
dumbell curls
overhead tricep press0 -
I am currently try to eat more calories in hopes of losing weight. I'm doing tdee-25%.0

Mine had stalled for 5 months. I increased my calorie intake by 200 calories and started eating raw veggies like celery, cucumber, carrots and tomatoes every day. That did it for me and I have me losing weight since then.0

I've been stalled for about 2-3 months now (gain/lose the same 2-4 kg). So I decided to pick up the New Rules of Lifting for Women. Can't say I've seen a scale change nor really a measurement change (yet) but I've only been at it about 2.5 weeks now, but I went from barely being able to lift anything, to using 25 pound weights on my deadlifts. I'm totally stronger! I'm sure the rest'll come in time. I'm working on getting a stronger ME vs. getting a lighter me.0

I would change up what I ate, such as if I had eggs and toast every morning I would do a smoothie instead, or yogurt things like that, also change my workout routine, if I did Tae Bo everyday I would take a jog instead, or if you workout for 30 minutes a day go to 40 minutes. Also you could try eating a little more calories or a little less calories for 2 weeks and see if you need more or less, sometimes I notice if I eat to little I gain and sometimes I have to change it to eating less in order to lose, or vis versa with with eating more. Good luck!0

I increased my calories to my TDEE -20%, around 1580, and added lifting weights and no more elipitcal. Spinning x2 for cardio and weights.0

I think I got lucky, mine never stalled till I was with in 5 lbs of my goal weight, then it just went a lot slower. I with in 1 lb now0
