STALL.
It depends on how you define a stall. I never had a week in which I didn't lose at least a little.

Highest weight was 475. RNY on 08/21/12. Current weight: 198.
M1 -24; M2 -21; M3 -19; M4 -21; M5 -13; M6 -21; M7 -10; M8 -16; M9 -10; M10 -8; M11 -6; M12 -5.
I had many stalls during my weight loss. The first started after 1 week and lasted 3 1/2 weeks. I had 2 week stalls in months 3 and 5. After 6 months I frequently had weeks I didn't lose but not necessarily back to back.
Nothing to be nervous about...they happen and you will get past it.

I don't know if I've had any true stalls, but I lose in a stair step pattern (lose a lot some weeks; lose none or even gain others). The farther out I get though, the longer and shallower each of those steps gets. Some people stall for long periods (6+ weeks) then start losing again. That hasn't happened to me yet.
I can't say I've ever had a true stall. I've always lost/gained on the scale & whenever it didn't move I usually lost in inches and I felt a difference in how my clothes fit. Any "stall" I might have had was tied to how I was eating & usually that had to change. So my calorie count has gone down as I went down in size., along with the carbs.
