Weight loss stalls

[Karen801 0]

I’m 7 weeks out today and have been at a stall for 2 weeks. Did anyone else hit a stall this early?

I think most report the first one at about 3 weeks, but it varies. Watch your size not the scale, it'll drive you nuts.

Yes I have. Weight stalls are very common. Just keep following your dietitian's advice. You will start losing again.

I hit a stall five weeks after surgery. What worked for me was to change my diet around. I still stayed under 1000 calories but added a very small price of bread or egg noodles. They key is to stay under 1000 calories per day. I also did a day of nothing but pure Protein Shakes. I also increased my exercise. Stalls are very normal.

ONLY lost 30lbs in 9 weeks? You ever lost 30lbs in that amount of time before? I have no idea what people are expecting but never heard only for that amount before.

I started close to 300lbs 5'6 and very active work out 4-5 times a week high intensity cardio... I've lost 20lbs/mth doing crash diets b4 so my mind set was that I could probably loose it faster than on one of those loose fast and gain double back diets... changing my food addiction issues and relationship with food has been the hardest part I think.
