Hi guys, I am nearly 4 weeks out and have hit my first stall. I have lost 2 stone since surgery inc pre op diet. Now I seem to have stalled over the last week or so. I am exercising and am not taking in high calories so I am stumped. I have lost inches though, five off my waist and another five off my chest area and legs. When will the scales start to show more results? Thanks all

I stalled in week 4, 5 and 6 until week 7 and then I lost 10 lbs. I guess everyone is different but it seems normal to stall around weeks 4-6. Just be patient...it will come off.

I'm not saying this will work for you but it always has worked for me, try to increase your calories and see if you break the stall.

Thanks guys, sorry for being a dumb sod but how does raising calories break the stall? Thanks

If you are not eating enough your body goes into starve mold and holds on to everything you eat

Many thanks worth a shot I suppose

Woo hoo, another 3 pounds off today, stall officially broken

Did you increase your calories to break the stall or did it break on it's own?

I increased my calories and stepped up my exercise so one of them did the job, just have to see how it goes now. Thanks

Stalls are so frustrating!

I've been on one for what feels like 2+weeks now. I upped my calories but that didn't work.

I'm thinking it may be the exercise now. Last week I worked late almost every night and didn't exercise even once.

I know intellectually that, over time, the weight must continue to drop (anorexics who eat 500 cals a day eventually look like concentration camp victims and are hospitalized). Emotionally there is some tendency to feel defeated by a stupid scale.

I had a stall at 3 weeks, and then again a little over six weeks that has now lasted 2.5 weeks!!! Help, has anyone else gone through this???

I'm stalling now at just one month out (well it started at three weeks) and its driving me crazy!

Its a long journey guys lets all be positive.

There is probably a stall right before your period too (sorry guys). Water retention.
