The Dreaded 3 Week Stall

[OneYearLater 14]

Hi all,

My surgery was on September 7th and I've lost 20 pounds since then ...woot woot!

Well here it is....I'm moving into my 3rd week and BAM! it's been about 3 days and my weight has stayed the same if not 1 pound gain, lose, gain back. Ugh. I know....this is by far the most loss I've had in such a short amount of time, but still can't help put have that little panic happen even though I've heard of the 3 week stall before.

I guess my questions are....what did you do? Did you just wait things out? Did you change things up at all? What helped you get over the dreaded 3 week stall?

You stick to your plan and wait it out! You can try mixing things up with calories and exercise, but I think stalls are normal and you can more or less expect them to pass on their own as long as you are following your nutritional guidelines. I am in the middle of a stall right now and I feel your pain! Mine started over a week ago and it's so frustrating to see the scale stuck when you are doing all the right things. Good luck!
