Is anyone else out there in the same boat??????? I'm so upset and kinda worried I'm 5 month out lost 60 lbs and the month of November was like a waste of a month no weight loss whatsoever. Just the same.

Is this normal? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I am not as far out as you but from what I read on here plateaus can happen any time throughout your weight-loss period. I had a four week plateau when I was a month out from surgery- that sucked.

Change things up- like more exercise than usual or less. Eat more or less than what your body is used to. It sounds like your system needs a jump start. Maybe its too used to the usual grind. Good luck! Here is a link that I picked up from another member on here that helped. http://www.dsfacts.com/weight-loss-stall-or-plateau.html

Hi,at 5 month and 2 weeks I entered my first stall.It lasted 7 weeks but then I started losing again.After the stall I now lose nothing for a few weeks and then 5-8 pounds overnight.

When I average it still comes to 7-10 pounds per month even thoug it drops in only a few days and the res of the time the scale stays the same.

Be patient.You are not done.Do the right things.Stick to your calories,carbs and Protein limits and exercise and it will come off again.

I've started doing the same thing. Even or up a half pound, then a huge loss and then back into the stall. Still as you say, the average is 7 to 10 lbs, so I just ride the wave and wait for the drop

THANK you everyone, it really puts my mind at ease. I really appreciate it.

I am 6 months out and im at that stall. im so scaried that the weight is coming back that my mind starts to do that thing were it tells u your a failure like all the other times, so just eat. It has been a very hard time for me.

At six months your weight loss is going to slow significantly for most. This isn't a horrible thing, it's just a natural flow of your body. You can't aggressively lose weight for ever This allows skin tissue to reduce in size, so it's not all bad. The hair loss stops, etc. But if you stay on program you'll still lose, just slower than in the first six months. This is why the stats show that most people lose 60% of their excess weight during this period.

Omg I feel the exact same way. It's funny just how much our minds can drive us crazy.

I'm currently in my first stall that has lasted nearly two weeks. I'm at the 7 week mark. I'm still waiting for a break in this stall! My cousin (in the picture with me) is many months out and says that she experiences three weeks of no loss then drops alot of weight for about ten days, then repeats the cycle! My fingers are crossed for all of us! :-)

I'm 15 months out from surgery. I stalled for several months, but I just started losing again in September. I've lost over 78 pounds and the last 8 pounds has been since September. One thing I did was increase my water intake by a LOT.

Thanks all these responses are so encouraging

I hit the stall at 2 weeks out. I was told to go get some loaded potato soup I got some from Sam's Club

It helped break the stall. It was actually also good. That is something I have never cared for. Try some it changes your eating up. I was told some restaurants have it also.

I am 5 months out and have stalled big time! 2 months at the same weight. I had to change up some meds and that seems to have done a number on me. Also, I am losing hair by the handfulls! I am getting enough Protein according to my blood work, am good on Iron, thyroid is fine.....anybody else out there experience a stall this long and MASSIVE hair loss even though you are doing everything correctly? Help!!!!!!!

The hair loss is apparently normal from what I have read on the forum, I'm losing my hair but I take 7,500 mcg of Biotin I still lose my hair but I have my new growth as well some say it doesn't work but I'm sticking to them I haven't stopped once on taking them. I get them at Puritan website although I'm sure they sell them anywhere. I've recently increased my excersise so they say muscle weighs more than fat. Are you noticing that your toning? From what I understand we will all experience stalls from time too time just stick to what your doing keep the faith and the weight will come off don't get discouraged. )))))))
