The stall arrived 3 weeks ago. I knew it'd come sometimes around the third month and it did at -25 kgs (or 55 lbs).

I wasn't that happy, I wasn't sure what advice I should follow. And I basically didn't do much, apart from increasing my daily water.

Today the scale was down 1 kg or 2.2 lbs, not much, but still. You just have to believe it will move again, because it will.

And I can actually see amazing advantages coming from my stall: first of all my skin. It was going so fluffy I hated it but in the last three weeks it tightened and now it looks almost OK. People started noticing my weight loss. It's amazing how they didn't notice much while I was losing and now they keep asking me daily how much more I have lost (which is basically nothing!).

My hair has a break too I haven't started losing it yet and I honestly hope this stall will avoid the fall. We'll see.

Another thing I did is... relax. In the last 10 days I didn't stress over my non-weight loss. I was like "Whatever. At some point the scale will move again" and it did. I relaxed, kept going to the gym but no more often than before, I kept having my 2 days a week without carbs, I just went on with my life. I am really happy now because I feel good and my skin looks much better.

I just wanted to share my experience, because it was a positive one even if it involved a stall!

You beat this stall because of you fantastic attitude! You are going to be at goal in no time! I know that your post will help other too!

Congratulations to you!

Way to go!! Good job on riding it out calmly!

Mine arrived last month. I wouldn't call it a "stall" but I'd lose one week, gain the next, lose the next. So for the month of June I only lost 3 lbs. I'm off to a better start this month with 3 lbs down the first week. I stressed at first, but then got all logical about it. It's IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO LOSE WHEN YOU'RE ONLY EATING <1400 CALORIES A DAY!! Period. The body is just adjusting, wait it out, you'll be good.

I am loving your attitude and am taking a leaf out of your book... thank you ! =]
