Stall, blah
I'm 4 weeks it and my loss has completely stopped. It is driving me crazy. I know I've seen it over and over again that this happens, but it really is so frustrating.
I haven't been a active as I should, now that I'm back at work and I sit at my desk all day.
Someone, please tell me I'm going to start losing again, soon.
You are likely to have many stalls along your weight loss journey, so it is best that you make peace with it now. Stay off the scales if it is making you crazy. Remember, this is the rest of your life, not a diet with an end point. You body will do what it does. It will not respect any time table that you impose on it, so relax and enjoy the ride!

Hi Deanna798,
As long as you have enough protein, H2O, and keep your cals low, you'll lose. As others have said, stalls will happen. You and I had surgery about the same time, so I'm pretty sure I'm up for one as well.
I don't keep a scale in my home, but will be visiting my doc every month or so to see how my loss is progressing or not.
*hugs*
It's a journey,

I almost always find that once I get past the constipation thing, the scale starts moving again.
I'm in that ''stair step" mode, and also wonder to myself "I haven't had more the 600 calories a day for months, how can weight loss NOT be happening every single day"???!!!
It's frustrating, but if you're sticking to the plan, the weight WILL. COME. OFF.
Hang in there.
