I know there are hundreds of posts about stalls...
However, mine is now really bothering me.
I have been stalled, bouncing between the same 3 lbs for a month now. I’m only 4 1/2 months post op.
I have been getting my 60+ grams of protein, I’ve been getting my 70 oz of water, if I eat a carb it because I have a little room left and it’s a healthy carb. I’m exercising 2-3 times a week cardio and doing weights every day at home. I take my vitamins.
I am beyond frustrated and want to cry. I was on a great steady pace the first 3 months, averaging 10 lbs a month. Everyone keeps saying take advantage of this first 6-12 months...it’s hard to stay positive when you feel like you’ve lost one of those months.
Any help would be so appreciated.

That's just the way it is. I only lost 4 lbs last month, but I've lost 3 lbs this week. I can't explain it by means of a change in diet or exercise. Irregularity seems to be par for the course. If I were you, I'd relax and have faith in the process - you've lost shed-loads of weight since July - it seems to be working very nicely for you! ?

I agree with @looly weight loss happens how it happens. Trust your efforts, don't revert, revel in the victories you have won thus far, play the long game, take photos and CONGRATS ?

Are you at a weight that you were stuck at previously in your life? Some of us have had weights we were at for months or even years, that’s why many of us have closets full of two or three....or even more sizes of clothing. If this is the case for you, you may be fighting through a stall that includes one of your previous set points and I feel like that takes a bit more patience to get through.

If this is not the case try changing something. Are you eating the same things every day? Are you eating the same amount of calories? Try eating a bit more one day then less the next. Maybe try intermittent fasting for a week. Try some new exercises if you are doing the same ones.

All of this considering though, the body will stall out during weight loss for 90 percent of us. It is so discouraging when it is happening, and we all understand that!

Remember too as you get closer to your goal weight, it will become harder to lose weight.

Try to remain positive, focus on what you are doing to improve your health each day right now rather than how disappointing it is that the scale isn’t moving.

If you continue to follow your plan, the stall will eventually break when YOUR body is ready!

I am the stall queen...and have been since about 3 weeks after surgery, I'm so used to it now. Since surgery i have never lost weight like others do every day.

Like @GreenTealael stated it will happen when it happens so don't get worked up, the weight will come off as long as you are doing your part. ((Hugs))

Thanks all! I feel like a stall queen as well. My patten has been 2 weeks of no scale movement then a week and a half of a quick drop. So a month is a long time for me.

And that’s kinda interesting, I am at a weight that I spent a lot of time at.

Yes!

Stick with it. Don’t worry, your body is resting somewhere it was comfortable. Same thing happened to me.

?

Well broke the stall...by eating like crap for 2 days, go figure...
Maybe I need to up my calorie intake?

Don't even stress trying to figure it out, or believe that method will always work ?, just enjoy!

From about 3 1/2 to 7 weeks I was in a very frustrating stall. Then in 1 week I lost 10 lbs and I continue to lost (but not at 10lbs a week - unfortunately!!). Just keep doing what you are doing and know that this is 100% normal!!

I’m in the same boat as you and I just figured out I needed to up my calorie intake too. Hope it works for you and me both ?
