Stalls--we all got 'em. We all hate 'em. Whaddawe dooooooo about 'em?

How long (days/weeks) do your stalls generally last?

How do you break on through to the other side beyond the stall?

Ok, go!!!

Too many to count. My body likes to maintain. I'll go three weeks sometimes...with no change....then boom! I'm down 5 pounds within a couple days. It's bizarre.

I've tried it all. Reducing calories, upping exercise, even upping protein and lowering carbs... nada.

For me...it's all about being patient and consistent with my plan and waiting for the sudden drops. I know that's boring....but it's the truth. Seems to be the only thing that works. Patience and consistency.

One thing that seems to coincide with my recent little drop...and this might be coincidence....but I stopped eating anything after 8pm. Herbal tea only. I'm working on sleeping better.

Ok, so maybe I will drop my bedtime bite? Last night it was 1 slice of Hillshire Farms Naturals turkey breast. 3slices=50cals. I'm like, dang! How bad can 1 slice be for me? We also eat around 7:30 or 8:00pm cuz Mr. F. usually works late.

Following... I dread the inevitable stalls.

May I respond to your question with a question? This question is really for everyone, and I think the answers might add value. When you are having a stall in weight loss, do you have a corresponding stall in losing inches from your waist/hip/whatever measurement? I've seen some people mention stalls lasting 3 weeks, a month, or even more. But did your clothes continue to get looser as the scale stayed pegged on the same number?

Good question! I don't know that my clothes are greatly different, they were pretty big and loose before. I only measure waist. And it's gone down 1/2 inch but that's probably from reduction in surgery inflammation. You know? So no real way to tell other than i'm at the 3 week mark. And everyone says there's a 3 week stall.
