I read about a lot of us newbies who are stalling within the first month. Did any of you vets with really good weight loss have this happen to you?? Advice?

I didn't stall. I lost a little every week till I got to goal. Tiffykins, who is no longer around but was quite active when I first joined also lost without stalls.

As for advice, I exercised 5 days a week, got in my fluids and vitamins, and really tried to stick to nutrient dense low calorie foods.
