Happy Halloween rain lovers

Boy, this weather and the dark mornings make me want to stay in bed! Tonight I have a training session at the gym which I'm really enjoying. I won't be missing any trick or treaters since I live on a back road and haven't had any kids stop by for years. I bought a few treats just in but will make sure my kids eat them if no one shows up.... tooooo tempting!

B - protein shake

S - greek yogurt

L - homemade beef stew

S - turkey pepperettes

D - eggs, turkey sausage

S- roasted red pepper hummus, few triscuits

Topic: RE: 350lb plateau

Everybody is different. I would say this early on, it could be approx. 3 weeks. If it goes on more than that I would probably call the Clinic and tell them what's going on. You may need to "up" your calories or drop some carbs. Stalls can happen when our body thinks it's starving. If you eat more, it kick starts things again.

You are so early out though that I think its just a body adjustment, some shock. You have lost well to start with.

Hang in for a bit and see what happens. Again, if nothing moving in a month, call the clinic and see what they have to say.

A stall early on is very typical. I don't think you're doing anything wrong. Hang in there, your body is just adjusting. The losses will keep on coming.

I highly suggest losing 5-10 more lbs to give yourself a buffer for bounceback.
