Paula12 15 Posted September 13, 2012 Had surgery on 8/13. Still slowly losing...17 lbs. When the stall hits....how long does it last?? Is there anything you can do to get out of it quicker?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TamaraS 235 Posted September 13, 2012 Try increasing your calories for a day or two and then drop back down, it seems to trick the body, kind of like switching up exercises! I havent got the chance to try this myself but have read many postings here about this exact situation and the people who have tried this did well, good luck!

Sassafras 136 Posted September 13, 2012 I know how you feel! I am 4 weeks out tomorrow and 2 1/2 weeks of that was a stall, but luckily the scale started moving again. I am hoping to lose 1 more pound by tomorrow to make it an even 20 but even if I don't I know the weight WILL come off eventually! And I just try to remember that I am below 200 now and will never be over that again. It perks me right up lol! Oh and like everyone here says stalls give your skin a chance to catch up. I have also read that even when the scale isn't moving, to take your measurments because most people are still losing inches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
