Let's talk about stalls.  While I know there are no magic words to utter that makes them go away, what are your tips for keeping your chin up during these rough patches?

I don't have any advice to give, but to keep on keepin' on.  LOL  Stay on that wagon, and wait it out.

Not much for advice, is it?

LOL

I don't have any advice for stalls either as I am trying to maintain so the scale not moving much is okay (mind blowing but okay).
Stalls happen and I've seen many posts suggesting adding protein and increasing exercise.
Good luck to those of you who are stalling..."this too shall pass".

When the scale stops moving, I pull out the measuring tape, and that usually confirms that I'm doing okay.

I think Stephanie is on the right track - Stalls happen and the only thing I can say is up the protein and exercise more.

This is a place where it's --  do as I say not as I do  - I'm horrible when it comes to stalls - Think chicken little

I agree, measure yourself during stalls and see that there are still changes.  It's still discouraging, but that does help a little bit.

I up my protein and water and kep my carbs down.

Look through my "Cheer Me Up" folder.  It has the following in it:

Things To Do

• try on 4X clothes
• pull out 4X and lay current size next to them for comparison
• look at photos along the way
• look at measurement file
• take new measurements
• take new photos and compare to before surgery

Things That Have Changed Since Surgery

• I can tie my shoes without hiking my foot up on the bed or couch
• I can kayak
• I no longer need CPAP
• I no longer have diabetes
• I'm no longer morbidly obese
