So I keep reading about it! How long has it lasted for each of you guys?

It lasted nearly 3 weeks for me but if you have measured yourself you may find you have lost inches instead

Yep I'm stalling, but my clothes are like huge now.. And my ribcage measurement went down a few inches. So I'm definitely getting smaller-but my scale isn't doing much. I'm just going with the flow.

Congratulations! You have reached The Dreaded Week-3 Stall. It's perfectly normal, and just about all of us have suffered through it. You're not crazy, and your doctor didn't screw up. In fact, you might not lose any weight for two weeks or even longer. But don't worry – after that, the pounds will start falling off if you stick to your program. And, the inches will continue to come off even while the scale isn't budging. Here's a good article that explains why it happens and why we all have to go through it. Hang in there. Pretty soon it'll be in the rear-view mirror and you'll be dropping weight again!

(Apologies to BP regulars who have seen this repeatedly, but it's a big deal to those who are going through it!)

I don't see the article.

Click on the words "good article". That should link you to it.

Thank you!
