Stalled and starting to worry

I have been stalled for a while now and it is seriously starting to worry me. Even though I have been losing inches, the scale is stuck. LOL! I work out 5 days a week, eat well most of the time (Proteins, shakes, etc.). I know I wasn’t eating enough calories at one point so I have been working on increasing my calorie intake. I am started to worry that this is it… that I won’t lose any more weight. Is feeling like this normal?

  • There is really nothing to worry about, especially if you are still losing inches. You are losing fat and gaining muscle. Just do what you are supposed to do and it will happen!

I had like a 2-3 month stall from the 166-169 range. It was very frustrating, but I added in more cardio and broke the stall, only to get stuck yet again at 156. I find that the more you lose the more often you get stuck. Most recently I spent a month at 137 and two weeks at 135. As long as you're monitoring your calories and working out, eventually the scale will move. :)

I cannot tell you how many days I was stuck at 220 but it was a long time!! Monday and Tuesday of this week I tried liquids only, it included shakes, creamy soup and lots of water, I am 215.5 as of yesterday.. maybe you can try liquids?

So happy to read about the stalls. Not happy you have to experience it, but happy I am not alone. I am 12 weeks post op and have not lost anything in 4 weeks. I am not being stellar in my eating but am getting water and protein in... I have lost about 30. And have about that much more to lose. I think I need to spend some time on this site, drink more, exercise a bit longer and write it all down. Good luck to all of you!

All that's working for me. Good luck to you.

Stalls suck! I try to end them by increasing my water intake and being extra careful about waiting 2 hours minimum between meals and snacks- I can easily backslide into light grazing and those calories add up. Hang in there!
