Whatcha Eating Today VSGers? Friday 1/5/18

I now use Premier protein shakes as my coffee creamer, I love the vanilla and the caramel. I'm going to try the chocolate next week. This allows me to have my 'decadent' coffee but still take in an extra protein shot.

Don't despair. I stalled for almost 3 weeks at around 6 weeks. (Actually, I gained 2 pounds). And then I suddenly lost 9 pounds in a week. Your body is fighting back. It thinks you are starving it. It will adjust and then you will lose again. Of course, IMO, it doesn't hurt to vary your calorie/carb intake slightly week to week. I feel it keeps my body from compensating as nature always tries to find a balance. None of this is based in science, but rather in experience so take what I'm saying with a grain of salt. This is what has worked for me.

Stalls early on are completely normal (they are often referred to as the 3 week stall) and they are to be expected (something I only know thanks to this forum!). Knowing that kept me from freaking all the way out when I hit a 2 1/2 week stall at around week 6. I tried everything, and the scale didn't budge, and then suddenly I went right back to losing.
