This is an interesting topic is there really such thing as a stall or are we just making excuses. The law of physics does not lie you consume less calories then needed you lose weight. What do you think ?

Well said Alex

This concept is very similar to when people say I am fat because of my genetics ignoring the fact that consume 5000 calories a day and don't blame their eating habits. My stalls in the past have been my fault I had extra calories creep in while I'll under estimate my total calories reduce exercise and wonder why I am stalling.

Then you are taking your own failings and applying them to others. What caused YOUR stalls may not be universal.

I should have said water retention. To lose 10 lbs in a week you need to burn 35000 calories.

I only burned 10,000 thru 10 hours of exercising last week.. Wonder how much that equates to total.

I am not applying my failings to others I'm just giving my opinion. Everyone is entitled to an opinion.

As many others will agree with me the machines don't give out proper amount of calaries burned.

I saw this early this morning tweeted by Dr. Neil Floch. It is definitely worth the viewing, and it helps explain some of the "theory's" about weight loss that have been going around here quite well.

I don't go by the machines, I wear a heart rate monitor.. I run and bike many miles during the week. I agree, workout machines are highly overinflated.

Great video thanks for sharing.

I feel the need to mention Iv seen some comments on here that appear to be done by me..Iv been Hacked! I'm on my mobile right now but my profile for what I see looks like I'm all over the place! Ugh...making changes..

So...has anyone considered the possibility that this obsession with calorie math is just another symptom of underlying issues with "relation with food"?

Like most of you have been on enough programs to know that I lose weight when I restrict calories and am.more active. The exact numbers around that are simply not so predictable.

Example... I never did low carb diets before sleeve presurgery diet. I believed in calorie math and so it made no sense to me. I found real success once I dropped the calories

Dropped the calorie counting focus and moved to eating the way my body responds best.

Will the real Blondebomb please stand up?

I agree. I found that the whole post-op experience is a total contrast to my pre-op "dieting" life and SEEMS counterintuitive at first.

Fortunately, I have an excellent surgeon who gets it and did a great job explaining the how and whys of how my new metabolism works.

Believe it or not eating enough Protein, drinking enough Water, and exercising are the keys. It is working great for me so far and I trust my surgeon and NUT.

I'm currently going through a stall right now...

Started about 2-3 weeks post op and WILL NOT END!

I'm 1-month post op today.. how long do these stalls normally last?

Hang in there! I went thru a stall that lasted almost 6 or 8 wks..can't remember exact it was very frustrating on the scale but the inches were melting

Will the real Blondebomb please stand up?

lol...I was on the cell the other day and the format and topics didn't make sense at all! it was crazy I don't know what happened..haha..
