switching it up? or tips to restart loss?

dee · 09-13-2012, 08:39 AM

Hi All

I haven't been on much in a while b/c I haven't lost anything in over 2 months. I'm frustrated but all I can seem to do is maintain...I kept going for a number of weeks but after that...I lost my motivation. Now I am still following...but somewhat loosely. At least I'm not gaining...much. But I remember there being a thread on here about switching it up or something about tips to get things moving again? I have tried searching several different ways but I don't think I am doing it right as I don't get ANYTHING to come up in the search. If someone knows what I'm talking about can you please, please bump the thread?

thanks,

dee

i'm in the same situation. was maintaining for like 2 months and not losing. so naturally I overate for a month and gained.....

starting back up again. hoping that the 3 months of maintaining/overeating will have been enough time for my body to adjust and juddd will start working again.

Maybe try playing with carbs--make one week a low carb week and your DDs are fat fasts? Or maybe experiment one week where you drink excess water every day?

Why your body wants a break from WL

I found this link invaluable when I slowed down. It really put things into perspective for me. HTH.

Crazynanc; I feel your pain, my friend. It's brutal. I can deal with weeks of stalling but months??? I think Dawn may be right.
Steph: that just might work. I know my body and it likes change! Even tho mentally, I woul rather just keep on keepin on.
I've added coconut oil to my morning coffee to see if that will get things moving
Thanks guys!

Is this the thread you're looking for?

Shake It Up, Baby! (for no loss/too slow loss/the diet-weary, etc.)

Good luck!!!
