How many stalls have you had?

By my definition of a week without loss, I had one "stall" between surgery and when I started ramping up the calories to ease into maintenance. It was about four months out - I didn't even have the dreaded third week stall, though as expected the loss rate slowed at that point. It's possibly a benefit of not having done the popular carb counting thing.

My dreaded 3 week stall only lasted for 3 days, ha! It was like my body was like, "Woah... What's going on here? Oh... Ok, carry on!"

If you think a week is a stall them I have a stall every other week. It's how I lose. Big loss, stall, big loss stall. But I'm having my 2nd "true" stall right now. My first one was 22 days lond just a week post-op and right now I'm about 19 days into another stall at almost 6 months out. It's frustrating no doubt but I know it won't last forever.  

Girl, I so needed this response! Thank you! I think that's how mine is going; I'll stall for about a week or 2, then I'll lose 3 pounds in two days. It's crazy! So glad you posted, because it helps keep me motivated.

Hey no problem!

I only weighed once a month during the weight loss period so I wouldn't freak out about stalls. I didn't switch to daily weighing until maintenance.

Wow, now that's discipline! I definitely don't think I could only weigh once a month; I'm too curious, lol! But, weighing once a month does sound like a good idea. Thanks for the reply! :)

Yeah I could never weigh once a month.  Weighing helps keep me accountable.  I always knew I was in trouble when I stopped weighing.

Me too. Not weighing myself and not logging my food are two red flags that I don't want to pay attention to what I'm doing...

No idea.  I've always known what the reason is that I'm not losing weight or that I'm gaining weight.  I'm not sure what the specific definition of a stall is.
