Hey Happy Holidays !!
I have been in a stall for about a month,loss 2,gain 1,loss 1 lb., I need to step it up a bit, I am about 8 1/4 months out, and since my WLS I have lost 110.5 lbs, I am working out 5-6 times a week, anyone have any tips on how to kick it up ??
Have a great new year !!
Congratulations on the 110 pound weight loss!! What an awesome job!
As for the stall; Some of the tips I've read about and have worked for other people:
* Increase Protein and decrease carbs
* Change you menu around--instead of eating eggs and bacon at breakfast, try it at dinner
* Change your exercise program--do more cardio than weight training (or vice versa!)
* Drink a protein shake instead of a meal
I hope that helps. I haven't stalled too terribly long yet (10 days is the longest for me so far) but I tried a few of the tip listed above and it seemed to work for me.
Merry Christmas and I hope your New Year brings you much happiness and prosperity!

Hi Chris!
I hope your holiday was a great one! Hi to Lisa!
You've lost a lot of weight in a very short amount of time! Your body is just taking a rest.
You work out a lot. Do you change things around or do you do basically the same work out each day/week? Sometimes it helps to change things around a bit to kick your body back into weight loss mode.
Keep track of your calories and be sure you are getting the calories needed to work out AND lose weight. If you are not getting in enough calories, your body will go into starvation mode. But you know that already.
Be sure to check in with your nutritionist at regular intervals. He/She can help make sure you are on track on the type and amount of calories you are needing right now.
Have a great New Year! See you in 2010!
