Are you journaling? Taking all supplements? Watching restricted items? Etc. There are lots of things that affect weight loss. Taking any meds?

@sudiesudnor yes doing all the above except i am taking a medication that i did not take 3 years ago. i am going to ask my coach about that today when i go. didn’t think of that thank you!

@appendant I’m a pharmacist/IP coach too, message me if you like. Many meds can have an effect on weight loss, diabetes, etc.

I love having a pharmacist here. They know so much about how the meds can act and react for us!

Make sure your drinking enough water and maybe stick to mainly shakes or the lowest carb options to boost the loss good luck

You are probably full of crap(literally! ). I would see if you can do some sort of laxative to unblock you and jumpstart your system. Happened to me.
