Is A Two Week Stall Normal?

[smileygirl 5]

I lost 15 lbs in my first two weeks, but have not lost anything in the last 5 days. Is this normal?

Completely normal...

This is normal for your body to rest. It is most likely adjusting in inches. Have you taken your measurements? If not, this is a great time to do it so you have a baseline. You will be able to measure your loss in inches which is more rewarding to me than lbs.

Yes, it is normal. Here's my warning to you: Do NOT let your diet slip out of frustration. I was in a stall and it has lasted almost 6 weeks. I recently started re evaluating my food and realized I was slipping into a dangerous zone and my weight was just maintaining. The scale has started moving again when I cut back on some things. My "normal" stall turned into "dead in the water." That doesn't happen to everyone, but it CAN. So, just beware. That is all...

I lost about 13lbs in the first 2 weeks. I haven't lost anything since. I'm almost at 5 Weeks. It's hard not to freak out. I'm not exercising yet. And I'm not getting in quite add much Water as I should.

People are telling me that the first month or two can sometimes just be really crazy. Sometimes our bodies just freak out, and don't react the way they we think they should.

But I'm going to focus on water, and I'm going to start slowly adding exercise. And I'm going to try and keep my freak outs to a minimum.

Good luck to both of us!

Almost every one of us hit the two week stall. Weird how our body works. Rest assured though, if you are following your Dr's orders (protein and water), you will continue to lose inches even though you aren't seeing it ont he scale. You will will start losing lbs in no time at all. Good luck!!

Once again yes, and be glad it was only two weeks, mine lasted for about a whole month. Just remember you will come out of it.
