Sleeved August 12 & I've just broken through my second stall. My first came when I moved from liquids to soft foods. My second came when I moved from soft foods to all foods. This latest stall lasted 3 weeks and I thought I was going to sit in the floor and cry each morning. I searched My Fitness Pal entries looking for my daily mistakes, but couldn't find a pattern. I am so thankful to be back on the losing track again. Although my doctor assured me these stalls are natural, they certainly are no fun, especially when it lasts 3 weeks! I guess the trick is just...keep following the plan.

I can truly relate!

I was sleeved August 2nd. First and second stall lasted 12 days each. At the second I lost weight for two days--and now I'm stalled again for the third Time. Sigh. What can you do, besides keep on keeping on, right?

Change up your workout routine and also take a look at what you have been eating... sometimes cutting back to no carbs for a day or two will jump start your metabolism again :-)

I had been in a stall since Halloween. I kept gaining and loosing the same 2 pounds over and over again. Finally yesterday got on the scale and lost 2.4 pounds. So happy but if I'm honest with myself since Halloween my calorie intake and the composition of my calories had changed. I am now 9 months past my surgery date and the first 7 months or so I was almost perfect with keeping my calories to around 800 per day with carbs below 60 grams. The last 2 months I had been flirting with about 1100 calories and definitely higher fat and carbs. I tried to offset this increase with exercise but obviously didn't work. I credit getting more vigilant with my eating habits and changing up exercise every few months with breaking through my "stall". So I guess my message is sometimes a stall is really attributable to getting more lax with what we are eating. I don't mean to imply this is what you are all doing, just what I was doing.

keep with your plan.(from a fellow staller)

I can relate to this too. I've had two significant stalls and am into my third. I consider a week significant but maybe that's normal. I started working out more and of course, I don't lose weight when I am working out...the old adage "muscle weighs more than fat" keeps ringing in my ears. But really folks...I still can't get over 1200 calories in a day. When the stall ends, I lose like 5 pounds in a few days. Is that normal for anyone else? I am also losing a ton of hair now.
