The 3 Week Stall

[karen74 27]

Ok... almost every post I've read someone says the scale stalls around week three. Guess what .... week four for me and the scale hasn't moved for three days! Still sticking to liquids. Any idea why this happens?

It's your body catching up and adjusting to all the changes you are making. Just give it some time, it'll break. I have stalls all the time,,short ones and long ones but the weight continues to drop slowly. When I have a long stall, I change things up a bit,,add more Protein, , drink more water..excercise more or add more/less calories. That's worked for me every time.

I'm glad you posted this. I am stalled and at 4 weeks Wednesday. I'm trying to be patient but.......

It's been 10 days since my scale has moved in the right direction and I am 4 weeks out now. I have only lost 19 lbs since my surgery. I lost 6 pre-op.

Because your calorie intake has decreased so dramatically, your metabolism slows to a crawl in an effort to hold onto every possible energy store! Sometimes increasing your intake a bit will kickstart your metabolism into speeding up again.

I went 3 and a half weeks with no movement. Yes it is disheartening, but just know it will move. Mine stalled at 229. When it did start moving, it moved pretty fast. Five pounds a week. Just keep on what you are doing. Get your Water in. It will move. There's no way for it not to if you are making the right choices.
