I really don't like stalls



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery July 1. I was losing weight like crazy. I had one 4 day stall in August- not too bad. Then Sept rolls in, Already lost 58 lbs since July 1. I stalled from Sept 5 to Sept 12 (7 days) then I only lost 2 lbs ! Then stalled again from Sept 13 to Sept 20 and lost another 2 lbs this morning .. I hope it gets better tomorrow and next week. I am eating exactly same diet religiously 650-700 calories per day and tons of Water (over 100oz) , and 75-85g Protein every day . On another note I have been a lot more active and doing things around the garage and yard, cutting tree limbs, etc. I know I'm building muscle and my pants are getting more slack. I am thinking about getting into swimming at the gym to get some cardio in. Anyone have suggestions on how to keep the stalls from happening ? Thanks !

Oh gosh, they suck. No way to avoid. It's your body's way of catching up with itself. ((hugs)) Stay the course, continue to weigh, and eat to plan and it WILL happen. Congrats on your losses, you are doing phenomenally well!!

I have to hide my scale when stalls happen, otherwise I’ll be obsessive about it. They are part of the deal as our bodies adjust to extreme, rapid weight loss. Annoying, but inevitable. Keep working your program and keep your eyes on the big picture.

I'm a daily weigher too. You just have to resolve and accept that daily/weekly fluctuations and non-fluctuations are just happening. It is still hard!

Here's a snapshot of my last 1 year of daily weighing. Look how spikey it is. Most charts will show spikes or stairsteps interspersed with periods of flat line. But the overall trend of the graph will show downward movement.

Even though I'm a slow loser...9 months later I hit my first goal, 13 months I hit my goal 2, and exactly 19 months to the day from surgery, I hit my last goal 3. It will happen. But you have to remain laser focused and not allow yourself to derail. Or plan for derailment. Cuz trust me, derailment happens even in the face of planning for 100% compliance. Cuz that's just how we roll. Our lizard brain wants what it wants!

Hang in there!

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
