The dreaded "three week stall"
There is no timeline on how long they last, it varies for everyone. This is why I encourage everyone to take their measurements at the beginning (if you haven't done so, do it now). That way you will see that you are losing inches, when you are not losing pounds. Try to drink more water if you can.

That's great that you are getting in the much water, and good for you for losing 29 inches, that's fantastic. Unfortunately losing weight tends to go in steps rather than a steady line. Stick with your Centre's plan and the weight will start to come off again eventually. I know how frustrating the wait can be, we've all been there. I have yet to read a tried and true remedy for stalls apart from time.

I got a ton of steps over the weekend. And I really think that that helped.
