3 and 1/2 months out--stalled--how to jumpstart?

OK, finally happened--hit a 2 week stall, not an ounce lost!!   Any thoughts on how to kick it up a notch? On average, I eat /drink 60-80 grams lean protein and 8 glasses water/liquid a day. Exercise has been almost non existent these last two weeks-very busy at work, then got a cold. I eat very little carbs--some veggies, maybe one serving a day of ww crackers. Dairy is Greek yogurt, plain, maybe 5 days a week. NF milk maybe 1 a week. Fats are in olive used for cooking and whatever fat is in foods I consume, but noting too low or too high. Sugars are under 10g in anything I eat.

Any help would be appreciated!! thanks!

Many people don't even consider two weeks without weight loss a stall.  It's just how weight loss works.  You don't need to do anything to kick it up a notch.  Just keep doing what you're supposed to do.  You'll start losing again.

You need to add some "good fats" to your diet;  don't be afraid of adding flavor to your Greek yoghurt.

Eat something.  You only need to add about 100 or 200 calories a day.  You're probably at the balance
point of your body's Daily Metabolic needs vs your Daily intake. 

Good luck!

Thanks, Lynn. I actually do flavor it with SF jam/jelly. The ones that have fruit are too high in sugar for me--I dump after about 15 grams. I have been doing lf cheeses rather than ff. You are right--it is a balance act!

And Kelly, yes, it may not count as a true stall, but I don't want 2 weeks to turn into 2 months if there is something I can do to prevent it!! I am just very proactive and when something if "different" in a not so positive way, I just want to make sure  that what I am currently doing is right. I have learned that some things I have been told especially by the dietitian is not necessarily correct, so I want to pick everyone brains to help keep me moving forward!

 low fat doesnt mean bettter for you. when they take out fat they add sugar usually.  ff is the better way to go.

You are not in a stall. You are in the process. Take a deep breath and focus on something else this week. One thing..maybe moving more or finding a new recipe.
You will lose more weight.

Yes, I agree--you have to watch low fat. If it is a choice between fat or sugar, I choose the fat! So far, fat hasn't caused problems, but too much sugar does., both with dumping and blood sugar.

Thank you all. I found a tape measure this morning and finally measured myself today!
