Haven't lost any weight in a week

[Andre08 14]

I'm stuck at the same weight. It's always only a 5 lb difference. It's been like this for a week now. Any suggestions? I'm only 3 weeks out of surgery so I just started eating fish and stuff like that yesterday but my weight hasn't moved. I'm walking like they said to do. Trying not to get discouraged. Anyone have this problem this early on?

Happens to a lot of us. It will start to move consistently. Don't be discouraged, though I know it's hard not to be.

My stall happened on Day 6 and lasted almost 2 weeks. Yesterday I woke up to a 3 pound weight loss and today a 1 pound weight loss.

Everyone talks about a 3 week stall. I think I just hit mine early and it sounds like yours is right on time. Hang in there!

Oh goodness. You aren't "stalling"- I know that it's common for us to refer to the three week stall.

You are HEALING. Your body is ADJUSTING. It needs to re-work the way it is now processing not only food, but your energy stores. You've just shocked the crap out of your system! Lol. Give it a chance to figure it out!

I am a firm believer, at over 100 pounds down, that a stall goes on much much longer than this.

In between, it's simply adjusting. I've said it before- I count the "decades" of pounds I lose---

240-230

190-180 etc. the numbers in between are of no consequence to me. They bounce, change and do all kinds of erratic things- until they don't and I plummet into the next "decade".

For me, right now, it's the 170's. 160's will come but if I worried daily about the 2 pounds up and down for a few days In between , I'd go bonkers.

I came to this same realization this morning. Hung up the scale until at least next week. I need to focus on eating healthy and not on my number each day.

It happened to me and lasted almost 17 days and then BAM I dropped 5 lbs. You're going to see and hear of people who changed it up i.e. diet, exercise,routine, etc.

Personally I just put my scale away.

Trust me it's gonna be cool.

HW 341 lbs

CW 267 lbs

This has been the case in my pre-op weight loss as well. Some "decades" just skirt by in 2 weeks; others are almost painfully slow. The body is a strange monster sometimes. (And it is always the "decades" around a milestone weight that are the slowest for some reason -- some sort of strange, cosmic humor, I suppose!!)

Totally agree with the milestone slows- lol. Cosmic BS if you ask me!

So I shouldn't be devastated that I've lost nothing I'm 8 days out and thought I've spent all this money and nothing is happening
