in Health and Weight Loss
Good morning everyone! For the last 4 weeks, I've been consistently losing, but in the past week or so the scale has stalled. I know I need to change something, but what? Any suggestions?

    I used to take upto 2 weeks before moving again.

    I would have a serious look at your sodium intake though!!!!

    yea, me too. about a month of no change. today im trying to set my settings on "lose 1 lb per week" instead of "lose 2 lb per week". I am hoping the extra calories will unsettle my body from its adaptation to the mode I was in. Ill let you know next month how it worked out too if you like.

    Yep, rattle your exercise routine.

    Play some tennis with a friend, swim some laps, just do something different.

    It's only been a week. You are not in a plateau yet. If you don't start seeing ia loss in a couple more weeks then you are in a plateau. I bet next week you will see a nice drop. :)

    You seem to be undereating, 200-500 calories under on most days, that could be contributing to the slow down.

    One word. SODIUM. You are way over a lot of days. That will create tons of water weight. Really focus on that for a few days and drink lots of water. See if that helps. :-)

    I've had a couple already and almost back to back. They can last anywhere from 2-3 weeks for me. Just be consistent and stay focused, drink plenty of water.

    Yea, I know about the sodium. I was doing really well with it for awhile, and kind of fell off the wagon.

    I'd definitely try to at least hit 1,200 calories a day - your body may be going into starvation mode and won't budge any weight.

    But, as has previously been said, it's only a week. It sucks if you don't see any changes but it's too soon to worry.
