My scale is stuck grrrr/and a how is everyone :-)

I have been the same weight for 5 days now i thought oh it is just aunt flo no bigge but she flowed on out of town and still not moving.  I guess i hit that famous 3 week stall i was told about lol..



Anyway i was wondering what everyone has been eating lately.  I don't know if i am eating to much or to little. 
My day goes like this
B usually a protien shake
L tuna,chicken,or egg or deli meat and cheese
D chicken and some veggies
water in between
and maybe sometimes another shake
sometimes a sf fudgesicle

I am still struggling with getting my protien and liquids in.  Still learnign ti all and fitting it into my day i think i am gonna have to add some other foods for snacks but seems like i just can't get it all into my day.

How are you guys doing??

PS i am only eating at most 2oz at a meal and never hungry lol i have to make myself eat.

I stalled at the same weight for 10 days.    Try to change up your routine a little.  Eat a few more calories one day, walk a little extra or try a different food.  Everyone says changing up the routine will help your body get over the stall. 

My nutritionist says I'm supposed to be eating 1/3 to 1/2 cup per meal.  Maybe try to move up to 3 ounces for a meal or two and see if it helps.  I can't eat a full half cup yet on most things except soup or chili.  I'm eating a minimum of 75 grams of protein a day and it's made a huge different in my energy level.

How many grams of protein are you getting a day?

Sometimes I feel like I eat too much and other times I an hardly get in 1/4 cup.  I think I have to be more careful about stopping drinking 1/2 hour before I eat. 

I tracked my intake at My Plate and yesterday I ate only 763 calories.  That's crazy!  But it is forcing me to be more mindful of what I am eating to get the maximum bang for my buck.  I really can't get my protein in unless I have a shake at some point in the day.  If I start that way, I am pretty sure I have at least that covered.

Are you making your protein shakes with water or milk?  I use soy milk and it adds 7 more grams of protein to my day. 

I seem to be able only to get in 60g a day i need to add a few more snacks or something.   I try to have at least one shake a day.  I was using skim mik but i ran out and have soy on hand i just had a egg white omlet with 1/2oz of cheese and 1oz of lean deli ham in it so that was 9g alone.  I am gonna make a capuchino(sp) shake in an hour. I need to exercise more but it has been like 100-105 everyday where we live so i cannot walk in that heat.  And i cannot afford a monthly gym right now. Plus i am still trying to get rid of thrush and sometimes it makes things taste funny.  I think it just boils down to getting protien in and vitamins and water. My son starts back to school tomorrow so it will make me get up earlier in the mornings and start my day sooner maybe i can go walk in the am when it is cooler. I will admit i have been a tad lazy with the hot weather and need to get my butt back in gear.

I think i am just tired of the same foods lol. But i have about 2- 2 1/2 weeks on soft foods so better get use to it i guess lol.  But i think i am going to make som chili and that will help give me a change..  I shouldn't complian i have lost 24lbs in 3 weeks so that is something lol.

I drink the Low Carb Slim Fast most of the time if and when I have a protein shake.  I freeze it then blend it so it's thick like a Frosty.  I eat it with a spoon.  SF Hershey's syrup makes everything better! 

If I'm running low on protein, I'll have an extra glass or two of high protein skim milk.  Lately, I'm full before dinner time and end up sipping milk instead of eating dinner.  My high protein milk has 12 grams of protein per cup.  If I'm craving something sweet then I'll make it chocolate milk.

I'm eating around 750 calories a day.    

I am also eating between 700 and 800 calories a day.  That sounds crazy, doesn't it!

Don't forget if you have acxcess to a mall you can walk there in hot weather. 

I, too, am very tired of my limited diet.  It is SO hard to cook such tiny portions and everything I used to eat was loaded with carbs.  *sigh*  I'm adjusting I guess.

I can't seem to break 600 calories a day.  I'm getting between 300-500 a day.  I guess I need to suck it up and add another shake.  I just don't feel like putting anything in my mouth other than water until about 5 hours after I get up.  I always feel like drinking something and never feel like eating.

My average for the last week has been 590 calories a day and about 76 grams fo protein.  I don't think I have ever gone about 700 calories.  The scale isn't moving like I think it should be, about 6 lbs over the last 2 weeks.  I will lose a pound and then stall and then lose a pound and then stall.  I really should stop weighing myself everyday but I cannot help it and it is fun.  I need to work on getting my water intake and my protein and calories up and see if that works.

You can add me to "The Stall Gang"!  I've been at the same weight for a week now and this morning I was 2lbs up!  WTF?  And I thought I did so well yesterday.  I haven't been tracking at the dailyplate yet, but I'm gonna head there now.
