Is the three week stall really a thing?

[Itsanot99 3]

Mulepick,

I am 9 weeks out and finally broke my second stall. It just happened and I didn't change any routine. You might stop the dairy and increase your walking to vary your routine. I'd suggest weighing your Protein to no more than 4 oz a meal and limit the fruit and vegetables to 1/2C each once a day but not at the same meal. Are you getting in at least 64 oz of Water a day? I can't have dairy until the six month mark.

Can't think of any dairy I'm having except for a shot of milk in my 1/2 cup of coffee. I'm using coconut and almond milk. I can always boost Water. Tks,;

Mulepick,

Guess I was thinking about the cottage cheese you mentioned.

Hey Soapandcandlequeen, I had surgery a little over 3 weeks ago and I have only lost 13 lbs too. I thought I would have lost more than that. I am doing exactly what my doctor said, drinking a lot of Water and exercising 4-5 days per week. I also keep my carbs generally under 30 but never over 40 grams which is 20-30 grams less then I am allowed to have. So why am I not losing?! My scale hasn't budged at all in a week!!!!! I swear I have not cheated at all and I am working my tail off. I want this so bad. Any advise?

Marcemonster, don't worry. I know it's easier said than done. I just met with my NUT today and she said that the body goes through major metabolic and hormonal changes especially in the first 3 months. Just make sure you are reaching your Fluid goal and Protein goal everyday. I know it's hard because we want to see that scale move but you will soon!

Well I lost a couple more pounds, so hopefully the current stall is over .

[MarceMonster 161]

Today I am finally down a half a pound; maybe I broke my stall?! Let's hope so, I don't want to go through that agin this week! I am super happy now though and doing everything I can to keep it going: high Protein, low carb, Water and exercise!!!!! Hope everyone else breaks through. ????????❗️❗️❗️

I'm going to go with myself right now

What does that mean?

[MarceMonster 161]

So my previous post about my stall breaking I posted too soon. After that .4 lbs I lost I stopped losing again! Now this week I lost another half a pound but that's it!!! So not even an entire pound in almost 2 weeks!!! I thought this was the honeymoon phase!!!! I guess I'll just keep trying....

Just keep trying, it HAS to move at some point! Have faith in it!

[MarceMonster 161]

Hey everyone, so I would like to report that I have been losing weight consistently for the past week. I believe the stall has finally passed!!!! I dropped a little over 3 pounds this week!!!! So for anyone going through an early stall, just remember it will pass. It drove me crazy and made me feel awful, but it passed and I am on a roll again. Just keep up the good work and you will be successful. That being said, I am sure the next stall I will have the same reaction. Haha!
