Thumbs up

Plateaus and stalls are a normal part of any diet, especially the closer you get to goal. Stalls lasting 3, 4, 5 months or longer are not unheard of. I had one that lasted 7 weeks then lost 6 lbs. Currently I'm at 6 weeks with no loss...but am I thinking of bailing? NO WAY!!! What's the alternative? Going back to eating carbs? HA! I don't think sooooooooo. I'll give it another couple of weeks and then may try to tweak a little bit.... go back to induction, eliminate artificial sweetners or nuts, or increase exercise, etc. It's just a part of the process and the more prepared you are for that day when you, too, may stall, the better the chances are for your long-term success. I've got the experience of all those gone before me here on this board....so when I get discouraged, I turn to them to help get me through it. This is a way of life for me....and stall or no stall, I love it!
