Today is four weeks for me!! My stall officially broke!!! Down ten pds in a week! Total loss from pre op 34lb!!!!! Tears came to my eyes after I got off the scale. I AM DOING THIS...... GO ME!!!!

Did you do anything differentlyto break the stall?

sleeved 2/25 down 23lbs . no lost during pre-op only after surgery . started eating regularly and now im at a stall . Starting all protein foods and water this week to get back on track

Folks, I wouldn't adjust your diet at this point simply because you're at a stall. Stalls are normal. It's your body adjusting to your new weight. I bet during stalls if you measured inches instead of weight, that's where you'd see a change. Just don't worry and keep doing what you're supposed to do and the weight will come off.

Again, You'll hit a few stalls during your weight loss journey. It's normal.

Have sleeve done 2/25, lost 20 lbs by second week now I lose a pound gain a pound for the last week. Anyone having the same problem?

Sleeves 2/19 down 40 pounds

Surgery 2/6 down 22 - have been in a stall for the past 10 days....

Me 2... It's so depressing when you stall.. U feel like is this it?! Is this all I'm going to loose? I walk alot drink plenty of fluids... & stalling 3weeks now the scale has not moved.. I'm thinking I'm I over eating? Even tho I can't eat much? Like what is happening :-(

Sleeved 2/4. Down 20 pounds total. 18 the first two weeks and then nothing for two weeks and then 2 more this last week.

I'm in the same situation same exact #s :-( I been stalling for 3weeks now ugh

Do you have a goal set for yourself? A date you'd like to hit that goal?

I turn 50 in May of 2014. I set a target to hit my goal weight by that date. That's about 59 weeks from now to lose another 95 lbs. Based on what others have done, that's a very conservative target... so I won't disappoint myself with stalls throughout. I suggest you do something similar.

I created a spreadsheet to set a weekly target weight and spread it out between now and target date. I suspect that my weight between now and then will go above and below my target line... but I'm treating that like the stock market. There will be ups and downs along the way, but the long term direction will be down.

I'm in the midwest, and as soon as the weather turns, I'll be getting on my bike and riding. I hope to get in 750 miles this summer. It's the only exercise I really enjoy. I purchased my bike a few years ago and didn't skimp. Got myself a real nice hybrid bike that fits me like a glove and is very comfortable for me to ride.

Don't worry folks.... just follow what your surgeon says and you'll do well long-term.

The only thing I did was increase the intensity of my work out. I added incline and additional time to my treadmill.

I think I also want to purchase a bike.

I love my hybrid bike (sort of a mix between road and mountain). I recommend Performace Bike, as they have good prices and good selections... and great help. There might be one in your area: http://www.performancebike.com

Actually yes, I am aiming to hit my goal weight (200 lbs) before New Years Day. That's approx 100lbs in nine months. Understanding that 10 lbs a month is realistic, I should be able to accomplish it, now that I am mixing in bike riding.

Per my doctor, I should lose approx 50 lbs by 4/1. I'm down 30 lbs now, with two weeks to go. That is a stretch. After the first month of heavy weight loss, "sleevers" typically lose on average of 2.5 lbs a week, or 10 lbs a month.

Ironically, I turn 50 in June.
