Finally - 8 Week Stall Is Over! (I Hope!)

[Inner Surfer Girl 12,015]

I'm on my 7th week stall. I'm so depressed...I eat like a rabbit and walk daily but the scale is staying the same

Stalls are a normal, natural, and necessary part of the process. None of us lose weight at a constant rate. You will stall if you successfully lose weight.

Make sure you are getting in all of your Protein and fluids, take your Vitamins and supplements as directed, and exercise. Make sure you are eating enough (eating like a rabbit doesn't sound good --rabbits don't eat protein-rich foods).

Embrace the Stall!

Thanks for the encouraging words. I meant as in how small I eat. I'm definitely getting all my Protein in.

I can relate! I had a similar experience. I am down 80lbs total, but LOTS of stalls along the way. My body likes to tease me and lose 10lbs then stall on me for a few weeks. Hang in there, you'll keep losing.

Ok, I'm not trying to be nasty in any way, but 1000 - 1200 calories? I'm three months out, eating around 700 - 750 calories a day. That's absolute calories, I don't eat back my exercise calories. I plan on being around 1000 when I am in maintenance, which hopefully will be after losing another 50 pounds. I've had stalls, just went through a week-long one. It just seems like 1200 calories is telling your body you want to be in maintenance.

That was way back in 2012. She may have been following her surgeons instructions. We all have our own path to follow.
