talk to me about stalls

hi everyone! i'm wondering if any of you guys can share some experiences with me around weight loss stalls? i'm 3 months post, down almost 50 lbs, and have been yoyo-ing between the same two pounds (155-153) for the last month :(

calorie intake is between 600-800 per day, carbs 50g and under, protein btwn 90 and 120g, fluids btwn 80 and 100oz per day. 

the only thing i changed in the last month is i started working out more (running every day, going to the gym 3x per week, etc).

what do you guys think? is a stall a normal part of the process? how do i get things moving again?

how did you guys break out of your stalls, if you had any?

xoox

I really wish I could.  I had some slower months but found I lost no less than 5 pounds a month.  I kept a daily track of my weight loss (yes, I was a scale *****!) and put it in a spreadsheet.  When I felt I wasn't losing anything, I'd look back the past 30 days.  Sometimes the beginning of the past 30 days was good (lost some weight) but the past 2.3 or 3 weeks wasn't.  Then I'd lose a lb or 2, and the cycle continued. 

But - unfortunately - I can't speak to real stalls.  Sorry... Someone else will come on I'm sure and give their wisdom ;)

Stalls are so frustrating and depressing! I'm 6 weeks out down 34lbs since preop but I have been stuck at 186-184.5 for almost two weeks. I know its part of the journey but it's hard not to stabotage myself while I wait for more weight to come off. Sounds like you are following ur plan and doing great. I hear that's all we can do during a stall. So keep it up! :) 

It really is normal! Have you taken body measurements? Sometimes you won't lose anything on the scale but if you look at measurements they will be really different. 

Just keep doing what you're doing because it sounds like you are doing it right! 

Sounds like you are doing great!! 

I was one of the few that never stalled.  Wish I knew why but the only thing I can figure is that I was religious about keeping my protein level up. 

I did slow down when I started adding carbs in.  I found if I ate the same calories but low carb, I kept losing.  With carbs, I slowed way down.
