Hope this offers encouragement through stalls.

I posted this as a response to someones concerns over a stall, but I thought it may be helpful to everyone.

First off let me preface this by saying we all need to really look at our eating/snacking/water intake etc when experiencing a stall.

That said my aunt (she has had no surgery) has been working out with a personal trainer for 3-4 months now and really works hard at her physical fitness just completed her monthly weigh-in where she was so bummed to learn when she stepped on the scale that she had only lost around 1.5 pounds, but when the body fat part of the weigh-in was done she had lost almost 5% of body fat. So though her pounds were low she had made some great progress.

So keep in mind a few weeks of losing body fat is a welcome exchange and will really change the way your clothes look and feel!

Chin up.

Thanks for sharing that. My weight loss was the lowest it's been (tho I am only a month out) this past week and that was kind of discouraging but people keep telling me I look smaller and smaller. I need to remember all these other little things and not go scale crazy!

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
