Sitting at the same weight for over two weeks!

I know, I know a stall, a stall...but it makes me crazy...I am sitting on the same pound for almost two weeks now...want to lose another 3 pounds to make it 50 pounds even...will I do it... Feed back...how come the long stalls? Dennis

Apparently our poor bodies were sent into SHOCK and are trying to recuperate from it now, hence the stalls. They seem to be very common at this point. (Mine lasted 18 days and now I'm bouncing back and forth with the same ONE POUND! ) But the good news is that no one ever stopped losing after 3 months, so we'll start losing again eventually!

Me too Dennis. I am stuck at 260.2 scale will move to 258.6 but by the end of the day I am back at 260.2 I am losing it right along with you I hate the scale but on the up side my clothes are steadily getting looser. Check your inches!!! Nikki B

Me To!!! It has been 10 days for me. I staled for 2 weeks droped 7 lb in 3 days and now it is stuck again for 10 days. HHHUUUUUUUUHH Drives me crazy???? Deb 392/308/225

You are not alone! I hate it for ya but I am at ease knowing that I am not alone. I have two pounds to fifty pounds of weight loss and here I have been sitting for about 3 weeks. I know your pain!!!!!!!!!!

SAME HERE ... 14 DAY STALL SO FAR ... BUT, NOT TO WORRY ... THE BOD IS JUST READJUSTING & GETTING BACK IN BALANCE. IT'S HARD ON OUR BODIES TO GAIN A LOT OF WEIGHT, BUT IT'S ALSO HARD ON THEM TO LOSE A LOT OF WEIGHT BECAUSE THE BODY THINKS IT'S BEING STARVED. SO, IT STOPS US FROM LOSING ANY MORE UNTIL IT "KNOWS" WE AREN'T KILLING OURSELVES, SO TO SPEAK. CHECK YOUR CLOTHING SIZES; YOU SHOULD BE SHRINKING SOMEWHERE ... I HAD A MAJOR BACKSIDE/THIGH SHRINK LAST WEEK, BUT I'M STILL STALLED. IT'S NORMAL & IF YOU DON'T MAKE "FRIENDS" WITH STALLS, YOU'LL BE MISERABLE & FRUSTRATED THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE JOURNEY ... THAT'S THE PATTERN, MR DENNIS! ... LOSE & SHRINK, LOSE & SHRINK. GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

I know...but I love the numbers going down and away.... Dennis

OHHHH, I'M RIGHT THERE WITH YOU, MR DENNIS!!!! I WEIGH DAILY & HAVE A SPREADSHEET WITH ALL MY #s IN IT. "SHA-ZAM, GO DOWNNNNNNNNN NOW!!!!! HMMM, DIDN'T WORK! GOD BLESS DAWN & NICK

I don't know. I really haven't had a stall yet. I had one week where I only lost .2 lbs, but I can't complain about that. Are you taking measurements? Maybe you could do that, just to make sure the inches are changing. Are you not eating enough? Do you exercise everyday? Really change things up one day, try to trick your body. I know you can't do this, but this is what I used to do when I dieted prior to surgery when the scale stopped moving. I would have a cheat day. Once I went back to the healthy diet the next day, the scale would start going down again. I always thought it was because I had tricked my body. Good luck! We will be here to celebrate when the scale finally moves for you. Oh, it also always seems to slow to a trickle when you are close to a goal. Why is that? Marcia

OMG. I really thought I was the only one. I have been sitting at 204 for the last 3 weeks, just waiting for that 50lb mark... I feel much better now. But the great news is, I am now in a size 14!!!! Old size 18-20, That is soooo cool!!! Josie..
