I've lost 30lbs and the scale hasn't moved in almost 5 days! What the heck. I admit I am still off work healing because recovery didn't go very well for me, it's been a rough road. So if I sleep in I'm late to start my vitamin/thyroid med regimen. I haven't been the best about getting my Protein shakes in like I should be. Lately my appetite is just gone and I have to remind myself to eat even though I'm not hungry.

So is that why? Am I messing up my "engine" to burn?

I heard it's normal to stall and it will start again but what do others do when you want to shake it up and get the scale moving again??

Thanks for all your help!!

I had my surgery on June 21 2013 I'm down 80 lbs about 40 lbs from my goal the stalls happen its weird I don't lose for what seems could be like 2 weeks then I get on the scale and I'm pleasantly surprised with the weight loss it's coming off slow but I've been averaging about 10 lbs a month so keep your chin up it will come off don't worry just keep doing the right thing with eating ,drinking water and exercise and you can't fail good luck!

Do a search on the forums for 3 week stall.

It's just something that happens to many.

Your body is catching up to your loss.

This too shall pass

I was in a stall for 3 months but I finally started losing again and every few months for whatever reason my body stops losing weight. While in the stall I continue to do the same thing protein, low carb, water and exercise. I noticed that for most part it last about 3-4 weeks and then I start losing again.

Thank you all for your feedback. It's so hard not to get discouraged. Expecially since it's only 3 wks out. I feel like that was it....I hope I continue to lose This can't be it. After everything I went through....I hope my body realizes it's not done shedding! LOL

Today makes 4 weeks since my surgery and I have weighed the same all week. I walked more, upped my Water, and done all the tips to shake it up a bit. Nothing. scale is not budging. However, I feel sensational!! Iv'e lost 45 pounds total since last June and only 13 since my surgery 1/23/14. Concentrate on how you feel & not the scale number. I know it's hard to do! : )

Try a measuring tape. When the weight loss stalls generally you will still see inches drop.

Great advice. Listen to these wise sister sleevers!
