How long did your first stall last?

I'm only 2.5 weeks out and I've been in my first "stall" for about 5 days now. I'm NOT upset though... and I'm totally fine with it.... since I get that they happen to everyone and they're vital in our journey.  I'm just wondering...... how long did your first stall last?

My first stall lasted a month.  But I don't consider not losing for five days to be a stall.  I did not weigh every day after surgery so I may have had a five day "stall" early out, I don't know.

I don't know because I think I might be in my first stall right now. I have not lost any weight this week and have actually GAINED 3 lbs! I think I am retaining fluids.

 My first stall lasted three weeks.  From week three through week five. Not a single pound lost during that time.  I didn't give it a second thought though, because all the vets had stated multiple times that early stalls are very common, so I didn't question it, or worry about it.  Week six, the weight started to fall off.

2 weeks!  And I ain't gonna lie to you, I was frustrated!  

But when it was over I took off lots of weight really fast!  So when they end they end BIG....that's not to say I am looking forward to the next one.

I'm in my 1st stall right now. I'm almost 1 mo. out & have been stalled for the past 2 weeks. I have been kinda bobbing up and down around 2 & 3 lbs....It's frustrating!  I hope it doesn't last much longer!

yup...surgery on 7/19 and stalled. Been about 4 days now. Up and down 2-3lbs ....but never falling below stalled weight. I read its part of the journey so not worrying...decided to put the scale away for the time being and just do a weigh in once a week. I was being a little ridiculous weighing in everyday but the weight was just melting off at the beginning and I loved checking it daily. But time to get real and stop doing that. I mean really....if I lost weight EVERY day I'd be a skinny mini in 4 months and thats not rational thinking..never mind unhealthy...lol. So I get on with life and stick to the program knowing I'm on the right road, its gonna just take a while...

I am in my first stall...five weeks and only 2 lbs lost, I am frustrated, but after reading everyones comments I now know it is normal.  I am five months out and have lost 58 lbs, so not to shabby.  I know I need to step up my activities, I am sure that is part of the problem.  I do  believe I've lost inches though because my clothes are not fitting the same so I guess that is a good thing. 

Don't give up!       I sure don't plan on it.
Have a great day
