The Stall From Hell!

[FishingNurse 1,210]

I have been trrying to get into the 100s for my entire adult life and I have yet to get there. :banghead: The scale has stopped at 200 exactly for days! ugh. I am feeling like I will never get there. I have put away the scale until next week. I can honestly say I have been working out with weights 3 to 5 days a week and I hope thats why the weight isnt moving. I need a little help here! Why am I feeling like at 3 months out my weight loss in DONE?? ANybody feel like this at 3 months and then ened up losing more weight??? :conehead:

Funny you should ask. I haven't been doing great this week but I weigh 220 pounds today and I've weighed 220 since Nov 1st!!! How am I going to lose weight if I'm 1/3 way into the month and I haven't lost A POUND. My 3 month anniversary was yesterday. I'm sorry I don't have any advice for you but I totally sympathize.

lol.. I'm glad you posted this because I just called my friend(she had surgery the same day as me three months ago) and I said.. Are we done losing weight??? lol I logically know that we will both lose more, but when you are stalled forever it seems like this just isn't going to work out for you. I hear ya. I think things will start to pick up again and we will have a laugh about this... it's just not so funny right now.

Here's to continued weight loss!

I had this problem too and I found that I wasn't eating enuf. So I added some Protein powders into my food and changed things up a littlel. Sure enuf I started losing again. It's my opinion that if I don't eat enuf my body thinks I'm starving and holds onto the weightl. I hope this helps and have a good rest of the week! I hope things get better for you!

Just hang in there. I had several long stalls during my journey. My last one has lasted 4 months. I have finally started dropping weight so I am now only 6 lbs away from my goal. Change up your routine and food. Make sure you are getting enough calories. It will start fallling again.

I am just about 3 months out and I have been stalled for almost 2 weeks. I had been going up and down around 200lbs and could not wait to get into the 100's and I got to 199.8 on October 26th. Since then I've been fluctuating up and down a pound or two - it is frustrating! My goal is still to lose about 6 more lbs before Thanksgiving and towards the end of Oct. I thought I might be able to get there... now I am not so sure....

I stalled at 200 pounds too. It was so frustrating because I wanted to be in One-derland soo bad. I low carbed it to break the stall. I kept the carbs really low (30) and it worked! You will get there. I also drank tons of Water. I stuck to cheese, Pork rinds, and beef Jerky if I had to have a snack.< /p>

Thanks everyone!!!!!!

I am just barely into month 4 and loss is moving slow, only a pound here and there. This is normal. The body keeps adjusting the metabolism. I swear by eating more I have lost weight. This last week I have been bad nibbling on a couple of pieces of excess halloween candy, Pasta etc and lost 1 pound and haven't been to gym in a week.

Hang in there, you will move the scale other than to the closet

i am at three months now and i have had a few stalls already. i still cant fathom that i will ever be skinny. i am not in a stall now, but the weight is coming off very slowly. i actually lost faster before surgery then after. the only thing that i can think of that is the reason is that we now have less fat to lose so therefore it is going to come off slower. i was surprized that i have lost 4 pounds so far this month and i havent been really good with carbs. i make sure to take pictures regularly to compair them. when i am looking at the picts it helps to see it better. good luck

I have a quick question for you guys...I am 7 months out and I am hovering at 70lb gone...that is a average of 10 lbs a month which is pretty good. I started at 240 and I am at 171 today. I am taking in 800 calories roughly and I am wondering if I am loosing slowly due to my calorie intake. I do limit carbs minus a halloween candy attack last night thank goodness it was just 1 fun size bar. So my question for you guys..What in the world am I doing wrong? Is it a calorie thing? I just started working out with a trainer at the gym on Monday, my body is killing me ...My activity level during the day is a desk job. Any suggestions to get the scale moving again would be great ....

Lol, try being stalled at 200.2 for over two weeks. I am dying here, but you know the scale has to move again!

[juzmejnee 9]

right there with you guys. ive been up and down around the same weight for more than 3 weeks now? And im trying to increase my Protein. Don't really know what will work, increasing or decreasing calories

[Forensikchic 528]

I hate to say it but I am there also. I am three months out too. I lost 2 lbs last week and weighed 189.9 on sunday but by Monday morning (my official weigh day) I was back to 190.3 and today I was 191.5. I am going in the wrong direction! I think I might be retaining Fluid and I am not drinking nearly enough Water either. I only averaged 500 calories a day for the past few. I am just sick of not seeing a loss or If I do, a very small one! Ughh! Maybe I need to eat more food but my mind refuses to believe that if I eat more I will lose. No comprehendo.
