Anyone else stalling?

I am 3 weeks in and have stalled and this is very discouraging and disappointing!! Anyone else going through this or has gone through this? What are your recommendations?

just stick to your plan and stay off the scale for a few days if you need to. The stall WILL break.

I’m 6 weeks in a few days and feel the exact same, lol.

I'll be starting week 4 tomorrow and I have experienced a bit of a stall over the past week as well. I've just been continuing to do everything that I'm supposed to and this morning I did get a slight drop so here's hoping things are starting to move again. I know from everything I've read that it's normal so I'm trying very had to not let it get to me. Good luck to you on your journey.

Same thing happened to me around week 3-4 and again this week at week 9-10!! The first stall was because I actually wasn't getting in enough protein or calories (crazy right) and my nutritionist says that stalls and fluctuations are common and normal, due to water weight, retention, etc.

How about the year stall, I want to lose way more than I did.

I had occasionally stalls throughout my whole journey. They seemed to be more frequent and lasted longer the further out I went. There were three or four times when I thought "well....this is it...", and then I'd start losing again. It finally stopped at 20 months out. So you may still have a chance!
