This too will pass. Just keep doing what your doing and eventually the stall will break. You could eat a little more and that may fool your body out of starvation mode. I am told stalls are your bodies way of adjusting to the change.

I lost 7 pounds in the first 7 days then not an ounce for 11 days. It will happen. I think we all are ready but it will happened.

Add a snack mid morning and evening...watch how it falls off! We have been trained to think that if we eat less we lose more , but in fact the opposite! I stalled at 1 month 15 pounds couldn't move the scale..as soon as i added more calories it started to happen , now I'm almost 3 months and down 45 pounds! We are all going to have stalls at some point! I made it up but ..I think stalls are when your body loses inches!!

I am 10 pounds from ONEderland! So excited and my non scale victory toay is I'm 3 pounds from weighing less than my husband!! Keep the faith it WILL happen ...:)

Hi IIlssa,

What type of snack did you add? When you added the Snacks what were your total calories for the day? Thanks so much!

A piece of fruit, jiffy makes individual Peanut Butter packets which I can eat 1/2 of with apple pieces, a piece of string cheese, a plum, necatrine, I also add PB2 to my Protein shakes which gives me a few more grams of protein and a few extra calories...I don't really count calories , I count protein! It's delish btw!! Umm other snacks .....a Protein Bar ( I can eat half) even frozen yogurt !...ohhh a ham and cheese doobie! Or turkey and ham...I get full so fast...eating is no fun anymore...and I LOVE it! Lol

No Red I haven't! What is it?

I try and snack throughout the day sugar free Popsicle sugar free jello baby bell cheese and peanut butter and crackers... Seems like a lot, but I'm still struggling on my meals I'm getting my protein in but even with all my snacking my calories are still low!

I've seen it in grocery store read the nutrition facts and put it down loaded with sugar and fat

Do a search on "3 week stall" then sit back an realize that what you are experiencing is completely normal. There are few people hat don't experience this.
