Weightloss stall.. :(

[rachcarney78 0]

I am 11 wks out and down 35lbs but haven't lost any weight in almost 3 weeks! I get in all my Protein and supplements but haven't developed a good exercise routine yet... Anyone else experience stalls..? Is it just the lack of exercise or are intermittent stalls normal? Thanks! ????

Stalls are a normal part of the process. It's just your body getting used to the weight loss and reduced calories. I just got past a 3 week stall as of today. But for the past 3 months, I've had at least 1 two week stall per month.

And I'll freak out, thinking, "Is this it? Is my weight loss over?" But I keep on working my diet and exercise program and the weight loss starts again.

Yes, I have been freaking out.. I've been thinking to myself "did I put myself (and my pocketbook) through this for 35lbs?!"

Agreed. I have been in a stall for 2 weeks but I noticed that the more I work out the better it gets. I actually waited to start working out once I stalled so it would pick back up faster. Just make sure to stick to your fluids, move at least a little, even if it's just a walk, and focus on those portions My worst part was snacks...I love chips or crackers for Snacks but I switched to fruit or cheese sticks and they're comfortably filling.

Eating a slice of avocado a day got me out of my stall!! Not sure what it is about that stuff but it worked for me. Worth a shot!

stalls are the worst... but I notice that when I'm in a stall, I still lose inches!
