Heidi Wilson Hooper 0 Posted September 6, 2012 Okay, here goes. My fb group has been tremendous support. I want to hear from others who are a ways out! I have lost 35 pounds since Aug 1 and I am going on a 3 week stall! How much longer will this last? I have been drinking lots of fluid..taking vitamins...getting my protien in! Any suggestions...any hope? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
susanfaye 162 Posted September 6, 2012 I am 5 weeks out almost and spent the last two in a stall. I didn't go to the gym for 3 days and forced myself to eat more calories and the stall just broke yesterday. It is very frustrating. Good luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Butterthebean 8,146 Posted September 6, 2012 There's a link in my sig to a good article that explains your 3 week stall and why it's happening. The 3 week stall is about glycogen and Water being restored back into your muscles after your initial weight loss. You're still losing fat, but you're storing water and that makes the scale freeze. Keeping your measurements will show that you are still making progress. Keep doing what's you're doing and the scale will soon start moving again. 1 heidihooper reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
