I was losing weight, but now I can't seem to lose anymore. I Have tried eating more calories I have tried a two day rest from exercise to let my body kind of rest and reset. Any suggestions from anyone on what else to try?

    To get past a Plato, you need a Socrates.

    alternatively you could use the search function and search plateau and it'll come up with countless threads. The cliff notes of those would be log very accurately for 3 weeks (weighing everything), re evaluate your calorie level, ensure you are not overestimating your exercise calories

    Yeah, but it still exists, right? So to get pass a Pluto you just need a spaceship.

    I'm not certain as there's not a lot of information to go on. However, I wonder how long have you tried each reset? How long has it been since you've not lost weight? I would caution not to try too many things right away. Give yourself some time to see if each change is working first.

    It's "past a plateau.". :smile:

    My guess is you are eating more than you think by underestimating calories eaten and/or overestimating calorie burns. Your ticker says you need to lose 35 pounds but that you've lost zero. Did you lose weight before joining and have joined to try and beat the plateau?

    What makes your believe you are plateaued? A plateau means there is no movement on the scale after a few months, after you've lost some weight. Is this your situation?

    If you open your diary, we might be able to give more concrete feedback.

    Wait, this is where we get hall passes from philosophy class?


    Or are we supposed to come up with a way to find a way pass plato's prophecies?


    I'm so lost in space, can someone find me with a Hubble?

    Sorry about the misspelling,I have been stuck at the same weight for about six months. I tried different resets for about a month before deciding to try another one with no success.

    There are some silly responses but a few of us are trying to be helpful.

    How much did you lose prior to your plateau?

    Have you tried eating less?


    - do you use a food scale?

    - do you log everything as accurately as possible

    - how long have you been stalled?

    - how much weight have you lose over the last 4 weeks and what was your average intake?
