Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted December 14, 2015 Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process of losing weight. None of us lose at a constant or steady rate and if you intend to lose a large amount of weight you will stall. Focus on getting in all of your Protein and fluids (at least 64 oz) every day, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercise. It sounds like you need to work on getting more Water.

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted December 14, 2015 FYI -- Sleevers don't have pouches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
byebyefat 262 Posted December 14, 2015 FYI -- Sleevers don't have pouches. it's a term often used, I didn't mean literally a pouch, but if you look up the definition of a pouch, maybe then you would understand why a stomach is reference to a pouch ????
