Weight At A Stand Still



Recommended Posts

Ugh so I got down to 236 a week ago and went back up to 238 and have been there all week. Been working out getting my Protein an Water in not eating anything I'm not suppose to I knew this time would come where I would stall but ugh it's a poopy feeling to know yer doing everything right and not losing weight. Have lost 32 pounds in 4 weeks which I know is awesome but ugh come on scale. Been trying to do more with myself makeup an doing my hair which I didn't do before to feel better, it's amazing how much the scale has over you. Been debating throwing my scale out and just forget weighing myself.

Can I join the club too !!!! My weight has been the same for the past month and a half :angry:. I too follow diet, exercise like crazy, get my Protein and Water in. The scale has just not moved and I am getting really freaked out. However, pants that were tight are now loose so something other than the scale moving downward is happening. I am OK with it because weight is just a number that is easily to get obsessed with. I am still positive that it has to move again at some point... geezzzz I work out a a hour and a half most days, jog 2 miles, speed walk, eliptical, run with my dogs etc. etc. eat all the right foods etc. I even increased the intesity of my workouts and wear a heart monitor to make sure I am in the fat burning zone... please scale move just a bit.. please !!!!

The scale hasnt moved for me this week either. It is hard to accept because I am only five weeks out! I have started going to the gym so I am trying to focus on making working out a habit so that I am not worrying so much about the scale.

There will be many stalls, try not to get too frustrated. It doesn't mean this isn't the answer.... The stall will break. I was in a stall for almost 3 weeks in the beginning but then it broke and I started losing a pound a day. Sometimes it helps to change up your diet and exercise for a few days. Eat a few more calories and exercise with more intensity. One of my stalls broke when I did a physical fitness assessment for work (had to push myself really hard). The next day I lost 4 pounds. Your body is still healing and might be in starvation mode. Just be patient and try to stay away from the scales for awhile. Good luck!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
