Three Week Stall BUSTED!

Hey all! I'm just about a month out, and have had some ups and downs. Ok, mostly ups, I'll admit...but I stalled at three weeks, just as I'd read in the other forums has happened to a lot of people. I was following the program, getting all my protein and fluids in, but from January 6th, the scale didn't budge! I was stuck at 307 for what seemed like ages. My poor husbeast got the brunt of it, I'm afraid. "I'm not even eating enough to keep a bird alive! And half the time I'm vomiting up half of what I just ate anyway! I'm on the treadmill half an hour a day! How the hell can I NOT be losing weight?!?!?"

Then I got on the scale this morning...three more pounds gone! Happydance! I went downstairs dancing and whooping, and my hubby just laughed. "I guess the scale finally moved, huh?" was all he said.

So, the moral of the story is, don't sweat the stalls. Just make sure you're doing everything you're supposed to, and you'll lose, you will!

(PS, about the vomiting, I'm just having trouble eating too quickly/not chewing things enough now that I've moved on to "real" food, so I know I'm doing it to myself. Still working on getting that part down!)

So awesome that you busted through that stall!! Thanks for letting us know not to sweat it. We know in our heads that this will work if we work it...but in the early morning when it's just us and the scale, it's easy to lose that perspective. I really appreciate all of you in this group to give me a place to go to get regrounded. 

Congrats on an amazing journey so far. Great to know about the chewing!! I start "real food" Monday after my surgeon visit- I hope! :)

So true:  "in the early morning when it's just us and the scale, it's easy to lose that perspective."

Amen!!

I am so proud of you. 3 lbs is great. Yes you must chew slow. I dont know if you know about the 20-20-20 rule. 20 chews per bite. Wait 20 seconds before taking another bite. and allow at least 20 min per meal. It really helps sometimes. Keep up the awesome work.

So glad for your bustin the stall! I have been depressed, At the 3 week point my loss stopped, I have lost 1 lb in the last week...I will be going to the doctor on Tuesday...hopefully he will release me to the gym.  I was so excited after the surgery, gut as of now I have lost only 15 lbs...pissed.  Just have to keep doing what I am doing I guess.  I should put it in perspective though as I have never lost 15 lbs in a month before.  I feel so selfish for feeling sorry for myself.  Just gotta stay the course! Keeps on loosing girl.
