Think i hit the infamous 3 wk stall...

[mi75 1,235]

well i have been the same weight for a while now and today i'm 3 wks out.

i am NOT scale obsessed. i don't care what the number is, really, as long as it's moving. i have been keeping a casual eye on the scale just to see if this 3 wk thing is for real.

well, for me it seems so...darn it! i have just started on softs though, and i have been adding more foods over the past 4-5 days so it could just be my body catching up.

i'm NOT worried and i know that my body needs a moment to just comprehend and then start losing again. for now i will just put the scale away and focus on my new, healthy habits and i know that in a few weeks when i weigh again i will be pleasantly surprised!

Welcome to the club. My week three stall lasted over two weeks. Just two days ago I started losing again. The odd thing is that I went to a family reunion over the weekend, and for the first time in a month and a half I ate some things I shouldn't have (ice cream, and then some more ice cream...). What's odd about it is that this weekend was the first time in the last two weeks that I have lost weight (four pounds over two days).

How the heck does that happen?!!??!!!

I went through the same thing! I stalled for three weeks! I called it my CONDENSING phase! hahaha Even though I didn't lose weight I did lose inches!

I'm 3 1/2 weeks out and I think in in a stall too! I have lost 30lbs so far so I'm not complaining but I've been "stuck" at this 30lb mark for a few days now! I hope this passes quick! ????

ME TOO! Lost 35 pounds so far but haven't moved at all. Its driving me crazy! Im not super obsessed with the scale either but I was so used to losing so fast and I'm not moving at all… So this is a normal regular thing????

[mi75 1,235]

yes stalls are normal and can last up to 2-3 wks from what i can tell. read some threads of stalls going even longer. just trying to stay focused. UGGG!!!

I was sleeved 6/17 and lost 20 pounds since pre op diet. I stalled from 6/25 until 7/14. Yesterday I was down a pound and today another.

I guess it's just part of the process.

I was sleeved 6/24....the first 12 pounds melted off, then the scale stopped and hasn't moved in about a week. Trying really hard not to freak out but it's not easy. I thought I was prepared for stalls, but I didn't think it would happen so soon ????

I had my surgery 4 weeks ago today and I have been stalled for almost 2 weeks. It is very disappointing but this morning I saw my scale down about 1/2 a pound so maybe it will start moving again. I am joining the gym on Monday (the rest of the week is too hectic) and so I am hoping that the additional excercise is going to help. I know this will work......I just have to be patient!

[mi75 1,235]

i'm also trying to move more and increase Water. don't know if it will help. darn scale still isn't moving, today is about a week since it stopped...

[Nicey2u 228]

I upped my calories from 600 to 800 and it started moving... Fast!!

I was also unable to escape the dreaded 3 week stall. Surgery date was 6/24 and I lost 20 lbs the first 2 weeks. Now I have been at the same weight for 9 days. Everyone keeps saying "hang in there, it will pass". I'm ready for it to pass!!

[Erica517 64]

Now 8 days at same weight. Ugh

[mi75 1,235]

well today FINALLY the scale has moved. yay. whew!

lasted 8 days. i know for many this is not considered a stall. let's just say 'mini-stall'. very frustrating when in the midst of it!
