This is not a stall.  A stall is several weeks without movement on the scale.  This is your body figuring out its new way of doing things.

My suggestion.....get off the scale.

Yes I heard a stall is only a stall if it has been over 3 weeks, I still like to refer to these few weeks of not losing a stall as many others do. A plateau is anything over another amount of months but i can't remember.

I think the majority of us are still going to call it a stall just because that is what it is called in the FAQ's for newbies.

It's all good as long as we are aware of them.

Like Dogz said, this isn't a stall.  You might consider this a correction.  This is the way I understand it:

You have stores of glycogen in your muscles.  As you are losing weight, since you are in a calorie deficit, along with fat, these stores of glycogen are being used as energy to keep the lights on, so to speak.  My understanding is that converting fat is more inefficient than using glycogen stores.  Once these glycogen stores are depleted, and your body realizes that this is more of a long term issue than just a short period of calorie deficit, your body begins restocking its suply of glycogen by converting fat. 

Now, glycogen is a water soluble compound, but only just.  It takes 4 pounds of water to store 1 pound of glycogen.  So while you may be still losing fat to convert into more glycogen and to continue living, you are also having water stored along with your new glycogen.  This is what makes the correction appear that you are not losing weight, but you still lose inches during this time.  That is because you are still burning fat, but the water is offsetting that loss. Once your body has corrected itself, you'll begin burning glycogen faster than you are storing it up, you'll lose the weight of the glycogen burn plus the water that you were storing to keep it dissolved.  The correction will end and boom, happy days are here again.

See http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/weight-loss-plateau/MY01152   for more info.

You'll do fine, just stick to the plan.  I've been stalled for over 4 weeks now, It'll happen when it happens.
