M_Johnson 43 Posted June 14, 2012 I know about the stalls, I have hit a few so far and I didn't let it get to me however..... I am 9 weeks out and can not get below 200 pounds! I have been in this stall for 3 maybe even 4 weeks! I have tried increasing calories, walking longer, I am joining a gym Friday, hopefully that will help. (I have to get out of the house to with out out I just keep thinking about all the other stuff I could be doing like laundry, organizing closets...etc) I am just venting. I know it will happen eventually but I am starting to freak myself out! Lol thanks for listening! Michelle xo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amytequilahouse 184 Posted June 14, 2012 Stay off the scale for a month. Trust me you will be well under 200 stay calm. You got this!! 1 CanadianDot reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DuranFan1969 119 Posted June 14, 2012 I wouldnt be surprised if you werent losing inches instead of pounds, making your clothes fit differently. My clothes were always my biggest reminder when the scale was being fickle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

beautifulnewme2012 164 Posted June 14, 2012 I am 4 weeks out and gained a lb last night somehow. Quite frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
former_vbg 198 Posted June 14, 2012 It's likely Water weight. Did you eat anything salty or high sodium? Your weight will fluxuate a little, just keep the faith and get in your Protein, Water and exercise and you will break the stall. I am 4 weeks out and gained a lb last night somehow. Quite frustrating. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
beautifulnewme2012 164 Posted June 14, 2012 I ate the usual stuff and even went over my Protein goal. I haven't started working out yet. Maybe if I start a walking routine till I am cleared for the gym it will help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted June 14, 2012 Don't let it freak you out search "stalls" and read just how common this is. It isn't as simple as calories in/fat off...we can hold onto materials inside our body as we burn the calories. Go get a tight tshirt, and take a pic, save it on your phone, do it abotu every 10 days! you WILL see the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hadouni 301 Posted June 14, 2012 I've been hovering just above 200 forEVER! Ok, well the last month. I know clothes are getting looser so I know things are shifting around and I was at 201 yesterday morning. I have to go in and see my jerk PCP for my annual check-up/check-in and I'd really like to be below 200 on his scale... so I've been putting off going in! I got my blood work done this morning though so it'll need to be in the next couple weeks. Oh the joy! I feel ya! It's a huge drag but it's gotta start coming off sooner or later!
