HOW DO YOU GET OUT OF A PLATEAU?
I'm feeling a bit frustrated! I got down to 208 early on, but then got back up to 213! I have hit a plateau. I have been losing the same 5 pounds over and over again this past month! I didn't make this last weigh in.

Katie O.

Count calories. It's what I'm working on right now. Every bite, and drink. I am weighing on a food scale to make sure I'm on track. It has been the same for me. I was going up on the scale this last week and was like ok we need to dial in my food. Get enough protein and keep my calories where the need to be. I've been getting 50g of protein less than I need. So will be focusing on that for sure. Not sure if that helps, just what I'm doing in my plateau. Also if you are already doing this then just get your steps in and wait it out.

Elizabeth

If you've got good habits, it's potentially your body making needed internal improvements that aren't visible on the scale and it will drop when it's ready for the next shift. But, outside that, I take my eating window smaller, like 4 hours. Nothing other than water, tea, and black coffee the rest of the time.

I'm very excited to be where I'm at right now with my progress. I'm down to my pre pregnancy weight for my 3rd baby! Huge accomplishment that I need to remember. Still have weight I want to lose though so we are not done yet! Congrats to the winners this last month! Hope that everyone that didn't win doesn't give up! 2 months left!

I'm right on the line this month, even though I've been pretty consistent. Pushing hard the next few days. Good luck!

Feeling really good this month so far. I just hope the momentum keeps moving forward! How's everyone else doing!

I'm down 13 from the start, which is GOOD...but I'm supposed to be about another 10 pounds lower! And 12 1/2 more pounds total to WIN. So, I probably won't win this round, but I WILL win in the end!

Elizabeth

I haven't weighed in ages, so that's never good. Getting my mind back in the game. Good job with your month!

Feeling pretty good! Still trending down and feeling good- how are you?

Katie O.

Danika, Yes my weight fluctuates in the morning I have been fasting all night. So that's my lightest. Then eating all day drinking water. Exercise all makes your weight increase significantly. Why it is best for weigh ins 1st thing in the am

I keep hitting a wall at this point in the month where I just CRAVE carbs. Does anyone have any good recipes for low carb, but crunchy food? I'm so nervous about reaching my goal!

Thanks, everyone! I found a similar crispy cheese snack and I LOVE them. I noticed that if I eat more than a spoonful of a carb-heavy food, I start going full craving. But if I'm consistently avoiding carbs, it's easier. Thanks for all the advice!

I missed my weigh in this weekend. We went out of town and no scale available at the hotels but I'm not worried about it. Have nothing planned from here on our! Congrats to all the winners

Great job not getting sidetracked mentally when the rhythm changed. Keep it up and win Round 3!!

I’m out of town a LOT. Missed 1st weigh-in this transformer cuz I thought I had another day. Once period ends we have the next two days n I got the dates mixed up. BUT MADE THIS 2nd WEIGH-IN. I’m sure u asked the day staff at hotel cuz they sometime have a scale squirreled away. Things I’ve done in past is find hotel treadmill (exersize room). About 1/2 have scales. Check out a neighboring hotel, check for a near -by Health club (they will allow a free introductory visit), a 2nd hand store that sells scales n has mirror. I tried a department store but scales in box n don’t have a battery. I even shipped a scale to a hotel once - I asked housekeeping if they would drop off at goodwill (but I suspect they kept or sold). Part of their tip I figured.

13 days left and I feel very far from this months goal. But we will get there!

I'm similar - have had over a week at the same weight. Still feeling great and hopeful to keep my mind in it for the full 6 months. Great luck with the last two weeks of Round 2!

Started hitting the gym at least 3 times a week with 4 times being my goal! Been a 1 or 2 days a week for a while. Started a new training program so hopefully will see results!
