Your first REAL stall!!

I'll be 3 months out on the 20th of this month and I think I've reached my first BIG stall. I'm down 73lbs this far and I know I'm doing great! But how long did your first big stall last? I've been bouncing around the same 3 pounds during this time and it's making me crazy. I keep going through my food and the only BAD thing I can see is sodium. I do eat alot of salty things like sunflower seeds and beef jerkey. I guess I'll lay off that for a while and up my water and see how that works.

Up your exercise if you can!

Hi, When I had a stall...I acutally incorporated a few carbs into my diet and it actually jump started it and I started to lose again. By carbs, I mean that I would have about 6 or 7 reduced fat Wheat Thins with my cottage cheese or a tiny piece of flat bread with my deli meat... When I do just all protein, I stall. Clementines (those tiny little nectarines) are perfect too! paula

hello Cassie you and I share the same surgery date...Sept 20th congrats on your weight loss girl I have lost 62 lbs so far..I also like you gain a few pounds and then drop like 4/5 it makes me a crazy person.. so I moved my scale out of the bathroom and deal much better with it... so keep up the good work!!

I think I do the same I ate a piece of pizza last night thin crust woke up 5 pounds lighter. I was palying with the 5 pounds now it is gone over night. Think that carb got rid of it, happy holidays Barb 272/210/160

Hi I hit my first stall when I was a month and a half out.It lasted 3 weeks! Than bam I dropped 4lbs overnight.I kept going between the same 2 pounds for 3 freaking weeks! It drove me insane lol.I still get days when I will go back and forth with the same 2 lbs.Like this week I was 302 yesterday and today I am 303 and tomorrow I will be 302 most likely lol.Its insane lol Michelle

I have been lucky and haven't had a stall or "plateau" yet. I've lost at least 1 pound every week. Good luck to you all! Farrah

My biggest stall lasted three weeks.....when it broke, it crashed & burned!!!! I stayed at 229 for nearly a month, and then dropped 17lbs in 19 days.

Hi Cassie, I would ease up on the sodium, that could be it. Also more water water water! That is a real help! This process doesn't come without it's frustrations, does it! Hang in - we'll get there! donna
