I have been bouncing between 172 and 174 for 2 1/2 weeks. I know it is the dreaded stall. It does make me wonder if this is where it will all end. If so I would still be happy. I would still want to tone up though. I have set my goal for 130 but if I never get there I am ok with that. I just can't see how I could quit losing when I (with the exception of yesterday) barely eat anything. Suesan

You've probably heard this before, but ... you might try increasing your intake just a bit, increase your water, and don't forget - protein, protein, protein!! I think we stall at about 6 months because we are finally getting used to our new pouch and we are trying new foods everyday (at least I feel like I am). So, back up a few steps in your program and see what happens. Most importantly - this is normal!! I posted a stall question/frustration less than 2 weeks ago myself and really just hearing everyone says "its normal" and "it will pass" was really helpful. And guess what?? They were right - I dropped 2 more pounds! Every time I have a little stall I get frustrated but it doesn't take too long for the scale to move again. Keep with the program and it will work! Good luck to you! Bekah
