5 Months Yesterday and I've hit a major stall

I haven't lost anything in a month, has this happened to anyone else? My clothes are fitting differently, and I feel smaller, but the scale hasn't shown a drop at all in over 5 weeks!

Hi Tami, I noticed a slow down in my weight loss too. I only lost 2# in almost 2 weeks. Not sure why this happens, but some-one told me your skin needs to catch up with the weight loss. Your body changes and your clothes fit differently. Jan

We had surgery the same day. I just got over a 2 week stall that about made me lose my mind. I think it is just that time.

I had a major stall from August till now. I was slowly loosing my mind. I gained a pound lost 2 back and forth back and forth. I have finally started dropping a few lbs again and I thank god for it. I am just over 30lbs from goal and I don't need stalls now. I hope yours breaks very soon but trust me it's normal.

Hi Tami, do you measure yourself from month to month? I know when i have a stall (and this one is going on 7 days now), I am losing inches. The body is a funny thing, don't be a slave to the numbers Inky

I think we've all experienced a slow down...be patient though because it will start to drop again. I completely understand your fear though because i experienced the same exact thoughts not too long ago. Its coming off very slow now for me and it scares me! Im not done yet though....i just need to be patient. *sighs*

My stall hit right away after surgery from 2 weeks post tell Aug and now i am dropping avg 3 lbs a week. and 1 had a minor stall last week. I did lose inches during my stall but seems I am losing pounds but not inches right now.. I did a carb feast to get over my stall and lots of water and with 24 hours I was peeing like a race horse and could feel a metabolic shift.. Good luck Lisa

Carb feast? LOL I bet you meant carb fast. ;) When I read it the first time.. I got all excited.. Carbs.. cause weight loss? Yippeee! LOL I agree with you on the water.. I notice whenever I increase water intake.. the weight does seem to move more. Interesting for sure. Water right now is my biggest downfall.. that and carbs creeping back into my diet. -Shakeira

Thank you everyone for your input!

I have not lost a lb this month. I've just played with the same 5 lbs all month. I was 230 September 1st and I'm still around 230 today. I do notice that my jeans are bigger and I was able to buy a size 16/18 top this month.. and it fit!!! Where I was wearing 20/22 tops before. I'm hoping it's just my body catching up. I have lost 80 lbs after all.. I bet that's what's going on with you too! I hope it helps to know your not alone. I know it helps me to hear you haven't lost anyting either.. I was afraid to say anything. LOL -Shakeira
