Did anyone else experience a plateau in weight loss on week 3? If so, what did you do to start losing weight again? I walked 45 minutes today instead of 30. I am hoping that the extra exercise will help.

I stalled at week 2. It lasted three weeks. I finally cracked it by upping my calories. I added full fat cheese, avocado, and nut butters.

I don't remember when mine happened but like latido just said, upping your calories helps as does exercise and lot's of water. Make sure to keep up with your food journal--that actually helps, too.

Okay. I have been journaling and yesterday I had about 400 calories. However with exercise it made my total count for the day 200. I am going to try to up my calories today.

I stalled at the same time. You will lose inches during your stall. I increased my exercise and just lost more inches. Finally when it broke two weeks later, I lost 13 pounds in 3 days. Then another 4 pounds 2 days later. I don't know how many inches I have lost, but I dropped from a 26 to an 18/20 in 3 weeks. Don't let the stall discourage you.

In my three week stall, I went from a 2x to a 16.

I am glad to know I am not alone! I just want to be successful! Thank you for your help and encouragement!

I am at a plateau too, my surgery was 7/16 and today was the first day I was able to eat three meals and a few snacks (no complications, I'm just scared to eat to much)...I actually felt energized and satisfied all day I was staying to get discouraged to but my nutritionist said I need more calories, around 800 and 70-80 grams of protein each day.

Yesterday was week 3 for me and I gained weight, but that was due to all of the Fluid they put in me in the hospital. I have lost all but a pound of it so far.

At this point I am having issues with fluids, to include the Protein, so I am sure I will meet a plateau here soon.
