The Dreaded Stall!

[Paula12 15]

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??

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!

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.
