The Dreaded Stall

Well I am a little over 5 weeks out. I got the 3 week stall for 5 days, and now I am at a 5 week stall. The difference between this one and the last is that I keep bouncing up and down on the scale instead of just stopping and then going down. I'm only down 27 lbs and frustrated it decided to come so soon. I know everyone gets them, so maybe I can get some advice. How long did your first stall last? What do you feel you did to break it?

My first stall started at 2 weeks and lasted about a month. Then I stalled again at about 8 weeks for another 2 weeks. I have really decided to not let it bother me too much and focus on my overall loss and NSV. I just about only have 1 chin now and can feel my cheek bones again! I can make it up 2 flights of stairs without being out of breath. I started looking more closely at my fat intake and that seemed to break my last stall. I am eating more cream of wheat for breakfast and doing small lean cuisines at lunch. It is so hard to not get frustrated, but maybe you can find something else to measure by also to get excited. I had a pair of pants that I would make sure to put on and I could feel the changes more with that than what the scale said. Those pants don't even stay up now!
