Two Month Stall

I am wondering if anyone else stalled at 2 months. I have been exercising every day and staying within my food guidelines... Went thru the 2nd week stall and did not expect to experience another one so soon. Disappointed.

I have not personally but I have been told to just keep doing what you are doing and your body will catch up.0

Ohhhh yes! And stalls will continue to pop up along the way. It happens. Just keep pushing through and the scale will begin dropping again!0

My friend, Karen, hit a 2wk? stall; and i was right behind her. I lost barely a pound in two weeks. (It was depressing even though everyone said "it happens, just persevere.") She had been told to drink lots of water and keep protein high. When I followed her directions, the stall broke and almost 4# dropped off in a weekend.
Since then I've made a point to drink 8-10 C liquids (protein shakes count as liquid) almost every day (blew it yesterday). I have protein shakes daily, because that's the only way I know to get enough protein with minimal calories.
People have said water really helps with weight loss, constipation avoidance, and increased energy. That's my current situation - I assume it's the water; but it may just be a coincidence.0 -
Make sure your measuring yourself!
Your body is rearranging itself and getting ready for that next big loss!
Its natural. I do understand how difficult it can be following the guild lines and not seeing the scale move!
Hang in there and it will be a thing of the past!
A few things that may help is increasing your calories, up your protein and water intake.
Good Luck!

forgot to mention - If you are having issues with water try some Mio in it!
I can not stand plain water! its lead tasting and heavy feeling. The Mio really helps - I LOVE the fruit punch flavor0 -
