stalls?

I think I might be hitting my first stall...I have been 261/262 since Friday.


How long out were you before you hit your first stall, how long did it last? Did you do anything special to "get over it"...

ANY HELP WOULD BE GREAT, My goal is 5 pounds every week, I so want to be under 250 by August 1st....thats 11 pounds I need to lose in like 2/3 weeks.

My first major stall was about 4 months out, and it lasted about a week. But they seem to come more frequently as I get closer to my goal weight. I think a stall is really just your body adapting to whatever it is you're doing to lose weight in an attempt to stop losing weight. For me it seems to help to change the number of calories I'm eating (I usually actually eat more for a few days), change the workout I'm doing, change the amount of time I workout, etc. A lot of people actually go back on the strict diet they had immediately following surgery, and it helps for some people.

there is soooo many stalls during the journey girl just relax u will lose the weight. i had to hid my scale at some point it was driving me crazy!!! i was a very slow loser i lost about 18 to 20 lbs by the second month so i bet u are doing better than that!. 11 lbs in 3 weeks u can do it!!!

THANKS!!!!!! I plan on working out and hiding my scale too, but not for any longer than 1 week...haha

i am a slow loser like that 2

I had my surgery 4 weeks ago. I hit a stall in week 2. If you look on my page you will see my crazy up down daily since the end of June. I am at the same place today that I was two weeks ago. However, I am on my period right now so I hope I will break the stall when my cycle is over. We'll see.

 I hit my first one at week 3, I'm almost to week 4 and I'm still not losing :( It sucks, I know!  I am just continuing to do what I'm doing and hopefully I will start to lose again soon!  Good luck!!

While it is good to have goals its important for them to be realistic as well as you have to be ready to not meet the goal. Move your focus onto your nutrition, exercise and breaking bad habits and the rest will follow. In the long run that will benefit you so much more than keeping focused on the scale.
My first 6 month average was just under 10lbs a month.. thats about 2-3 lbs a week... it took me 18 months to reach my goal weight!
