How Long is too Long for a Stall?

I’ve been the exact same weight for the last 5 weeks? I’m about 6 months out and I’m down only 46 lbs, my HW 298 SW 282, I started working out, and believe I’m losing inches, but I’m so discouraged at my progress.

(I just lost 6 lbs of water weight in 2 days but my measurements are the same ? so it doesn't make one bit of difference in the long run, but those inches are usually fat lbs being shed ?)

I've been the same weight (give or take a pound) for the last 4 weeks, but in that time I've also moved in a belt notch and a watch notch, so I know there's more to what's happening with my weight loss. I work out almost every day and watch what I eat.

Be patient and keep with your routine. If there's other reasons that you're not losing, it's time to be honest with yourself as to why this may be happening.

Good luck

My scale has been stalled out for a couple of weeks now. Though I know it happens, and this is a normal part of the process, it’s annoying.

A stall is great time to re-evaluate your eating and activity. I’m checking in with myself by logging my food. And I’m going to hide my scale, because I attach too much emotion to what it says
