Stuck in a stall

[newstart11 0]

9 months out and down 111 pounds! I am so grateful! Everyone says I look great and don't need to lose anymore. I would like to take off 19 more, but the scale is not budging. any tips would be appreciated,

Also, there are quite a few topics on this forum covering stalls. Understanding that stalls are normal and the weight loss slows as you get closer to your goal weight, check your daily calories, exercise, and carbs. You might be eating more than you thought or perhaps exercising less than before.

The magic timeline that I've read several time is that a typical stall lasts for UP to six weeks. If you haven't started losing again after six weeks, then look more closely at your food quality intake and exercise.

I just got out of my first stall since surgery almost two months ago. The stall was just under a month. I had started eating a bit more (still under 1000 cals a day), but exercise was about the same. I just started losing again this week.
