Frustrated with the stall

[Jayson 15]

A normal weight loss pattern is not a sloping line. It actually looks more like stair steps. So there's really no such thing as a stall, you're just on a stair. Hang in there.

I like that it is so true. It makes sense.

Stalls are part of losing weight. I have had several stalls in my journey. It has been 14 months ago since I had the surgery and I have had at least 5 times a stall and the longest lasted 6 weeks. I think my body was testing me.

Thanks so much to lipstick girl and NancyG and others talking abt long stalls around month 4! I have been about to decide I've gotten everything I'm going to get at month 4. My stall started during month two, although I lost a few lbs durning the past month or so. I'm amazed that I can eat less than 1000 calories a day and abt 50 carbs and still not lose. It seems mathematically impossible. Hearing from you ladies helps to fight the discouragement.

I'm so glad I found this thread. I haven't lost a pound in three weeks and I'm doing everything I was doing when I was losing. I'm 8 months out and closer to goal so of course I knew it would slow but it hasn't moved at all. But I love the stair step analogy! On the other hand I just went shopping and went down a size so that made me feel better. But honestly reading this thread reassured me. I keep worrying that I am done losing weight and this thread gave me hope.
