You can't hide from the stall!



Recommended Posts

I tried to hide from the stall but it did not work. On week five I did exactly the same thing I had done the previous weeks that were successful for me and the stall found me. Although I did the same things the darn scale did not move one bit. I walked a little bit more on the treadmill and walked a little faster, I drank a little more Water and it still did not move. I just have to believe all you folks who have been here and trust the process, this too shall pass and one day I will get up and do my routine and Sunday when I get on the scale I will see some progress.....right??? LOL

I see the surgeon on the 6th of January for my 6 week checkup and I really really wanted to have 50 pounds behind me but I am starting to see now that is going to be impossible. But 40 something isn't a bad number and I just have to be happy with any progress :)

As my husband always says "it is what is it is!"

40 lbs so far is actually fantastic!

It is BUT I have watched too much television and Dr Now gets way better results!! I know I did not weight 600 pounds but golly darn it, that would have been so awesome!!!

I am a science freak and I just can't figure out how with calories burned and calories in not changing how that darn stall can find you!! I mean science tells you if you burn 3500 more calories than you take in, the scale should move down one pound. A gallon of Water weighs 7 pounds so if you drink a gallon of water and pee a gallon of water you shouldn't have any water retention. If you retain 2 quarts of water you will retain 3.5 pounds. My Apple Watch tells me every day how many calories I burn while I exercise so where did I go wrong??? Science should prevail but that darn stall still won!!!

I have carefully tracked every bite of food that went into my mouth for the last 5 weeks and the math does not add up!!!

lol oh well it is what it is!!!!

One theory is that the body adapts and defends against further weight loss. Plus the metabolism slows down if a person loses weight quickly that's why 1 to 2 pounds a week is considered a heathy rate.

Oh yeah stalls. They’ll get you one way or another.

You’ve done so well so far. Let your body have a break to catch up to the changes. Remember the stall may last one to three weeks and you may experience it again. (I had two.)

Don’t get caught up in the 30+lb a month loses people on my 600lb life lose. They were 2 & 3 times your weight when they started. Remember, the more you have to lose the more you lose at the beginning, & your weight loss rate will slow as you get closer to your goal.

Slow & steady wins the race. As long as your weight loss trend is heading downwards you’re golden.

      I don't know when I reached Onederland but just weighed myself @198. 😁

      Constantly amazing myself. This is probably a normal experience for all of us on a WL journey.
      This morning I was at 174 pounds (78.9 kilos). I can perceive that my brain hasn't really caught up to this yet, as I still feel obese, even though I am close to being considered a normal weight, not even overweight. The smaller clothes, the higher fitness level, the great blood work results, the energy- these all tell me a totally different story!
      I have NEVER EVER been, never, not once in my life, nada, zip, zilch, zero times, been "thin." I think this explains some of the disconnect between the reality of my body and the stuckness of my brain. I do have confidence that my mind will catch up soon ❤️
      Not really having the experience of true hunger yet, but I can perceive the peristalsis of my digestive tract. And I am getting very good at spotting head hunger, and simply noticing it, like a Buddhist.

      I ordered the Barbecue Protein Crisps here from BariatricPal, and find them quite tasty. The Ranch flavour, not so much. They are very filing and have a satisfying crunch.
      I continue to shrink, and am amazed at the changes all over my body. Visually, it is striking to me. In the mirror, I look thin to my eyes, but I don't feel thin, although I can see more bones and veins and tendons and floppy skin. Cardio-wise, It takes a lot more effort to get my heart rate up and I'm now monitoring which heart zone I can get into and for how long. My resting heart rate is the lowest it's ever been.
      If I think about it, and I left myself feel it for a time, I weep (like, boohoo cry) with joy. I am so grateful to myself, and proud of myself for having the courage to have taken the leap to better health.
