BTTB!
back to the basics choco....protein drinks, smaller portions and the like....you WILL start losing again...we have all been thru it off and on...no worries...

Write down what your eating. That will keep you aware of what calories your putting into your mouth. Even if its only a handful of something to chew on.

Run faster on the treadmill for a minute after 2 minutes of mainting your speed.

Take a walk for 30 minutes but not a slow walk do it at a fast pace

Use a measuring cup for your food when eating a meal

Keep moving

Congrats on the weight you have lost

Make sure you are getting enough protein and water. Also cut out as many carbs as you can. If that means only eating meat at your meals then that is what you do. That is what I did to break stalls.

C,

Hi chocolate! You are so lucky to have hit your first stall at 5 1/2 months. I hit my first one at 3 weeks and was constantly hitting stalls. I'm now almost 14 months out down 109 pounds I currently weigh 155. I have been at a stall no joking over 3 months now all of a sudden I'm losing again. I thought I was done losing so I was quite happy at 157 but lost another two pounds in the last week. Focus on your proteins. Cut out all carbs. Throw in a protein bar or an extra shake. I know this sounds crazy but if I eat more I seem to lose. Hang in there stick with the program you will lose the weight. I know how frustrating it can be. Then your mind starts racing that your going to fail and not lose anymore weight. But you will. And it's normal to panic over it!! Good luck hang in there!!

The basic recipe for weight loss after GBS:

Protein (at least 70 grams a day)
Water (at least 64 oz a day)
Movement (as much as you can)
Sleep (at least 8 hours a night)
Vitamins (every day: 2 multi, 6 calcium citrate. 3X a week: sublingual B12. Iron: if you are a menstruating woman. Others: based on bloodwork)

The first thing to do with a stall is make sure you are getting enough of the above basics. Then, be honest with yourself about "extras" you have allowed to creep back into your diet - and cut them out!! If you are doing the exact same thing every day, change it up a little to "shake" your body out of its comfort zone (add protein, do something different for exercise, get more sleep, etc). Sometimes people do need to up their calories for a day or 2 to get their body to burn fat for fuel. Finally, look at what emotional ties you have to your current weight. What was happening last time you were this weight? Do you have unfinished emotional business?

The good news is that if you are doing the deal, eventually your body will respond and you will become the healthiest version of you.

Right there with you, sweetie! Hang in there - we're gonna beat this ugly thing!!!
