devonmae 56 Posted June 14, 2013 I got the 3 week stall and was fine with it knowing it would pass . I didn't freak out I just went with it. So why am I freaking out over this stall at 8 weeks. Did anyone else have a stall at this time? I know I am able to eat more but obviously I am still nut eating anywhere near what I used to and only drinking Water so having no calories from liquids. I also went back to work 2 weeks ago when the stall started so I'm sure that has something to do with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted June 14, 2013 In the past 3 months, I've had at least 1 two week stall each month. I'll go as long as 3 weeks with no weight loss (and sometimes a gain) then suddenly drop 2 or 3 pounds almost overnight. I haven't gotten use to it, but I don't let it freak me out anymore. :-) 2 McSleevey and CCRNonherway reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SGERON 8 Posted June 14, 2013 I have been stalled for over a month now. Going back and forth between 223 and 220---it is driving me crazy, but my surgeon that was ok just don't let it get me down because it will be fine as long as I stay w/the program and believe in myself.

ShrinkingBiker 121 Posted June 14, 2013 I'm dealing with my first long lasting stall now (sleeved 3/20) and it is driving me nuts.. I'm under 1,000 calories a day bounce between 50-100 carbs and sugar and fat are always under recommended goals. It'll pass.. eventually! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
devonmae 56 Posted June 15, 2013 I have to keep reminding myself that I've lost 50 lbs already which is awesome for 8 weeks! If I continue like this it will come off! The compliments from my husband's best friend will have to be enough right now! 1 CCRNonherway reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vegasneon 181 Posted June 16, 2013 That's so weird when I saw this before the stall picture didn't show. The day we were departing an Alaskan cruise there was a lady stuck in a stall on the ship. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SMO 193 Posted June 16, 2013 I also stall for extended periods about every 20 pounds or so. I will lose steadily, a pound every day or so for awhile and then just stop cold. Sometimes I will gain a pound during the stall and then just start losing again. I just broke a stall this morning. I had been at 203 for a week or so and today l lost a pound. This one has been difficult for me because I really want to get to onederland. Soon. I am losing an average of 2 pounds a week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DayByDay 123 Posted June 17, 2013 I've been lucky and haven't stalled once, however my weight loss fluctuates. Some weeks its just half a pound others it is two pounds. After three weeks of half pound losses each week, I posted a 6lbs weight loss. Didn't do anything differently. This week I will probably post my first gain. Nothing that I did, it is Water weight because of hormones. So I share your frustration. I know that at some point it will even out. Just keep doing what you are doing.
