Thread: Stalled!

I think as long as you stay strict on the protocol, you'll be fine.... How many days into it are you? I hit a big stall for a few days, but it passed.. Sometimes they can last 4 - 6 days so you need to be patient.. I've hit a wall myself... I made a stupid, stupid, stupid error.. I don't know why I thought it was ok, but in the last week or so, I started using less than a tbsp of olive oil to cook with, totally forgetting the no oil rule, and needless to say have stalled for a week, well, only dropped 2 lbs. That being said, I've stuck to everything else religiously and will stay away from olive oil for the next 4 days.. Tomorrow is my last injection, then the weekend to stay on VLCD, then I'll be on P3.

Stick with it, and don't give up.. No matter how badly you want to.. Believe me, I'vebeen tempted the last few days to just go crazy!

Sleep can definitely play a role in it. Today was my last injection.. I was a little disappointed, my overall for the 23 days is about 12 lbs.. It's still good, but my goal was 15. I leave for a cruise in a couple of weeks so hopefully I can keep most of it off. I'll be on the ship for the last 5 days of my P3, so it might be a bit of a challenge. I am pretty active normally, so it should be fine. As this was my first round, I definitely learned a few lessons! I'll probably do another round in mid-May to go for another 10 lbs. I think it's better to do a bunch of shorter rounds (23 vs 40) as it is easier to focus and stay on track and positive.

How was your weigh in today? Because you didn't get your 2L of liquids in, you may be a bit dehydrated so it could show a bigger loss I think.. Just keep on track and you'll do great! It was a great experience for me overall, looking forward to the next one, where I'll put in place some of the lessons learned from round 1 and see better results!

Good luck!
