Anybody else have the three week stall?

I had read that lot of people have a stall on their third week.

You know I thought I would be immune to this stall.  But it hit monday I went three up pounds - water weight I guess.  Now it Friday and I am back down to 356.  Sunday I was 355.  So after nearly a week I am net gain 1 lbs.  Diet has not changed- only thing changed was I am having to be very careful with exercise and my wounds.

I know Im not in a race.  But at the same time I get really flustered when the scale doesn't change. Hopefully I will get back to the pound a day weight loss I was experiencing all the way up till this past monday.

Tommorrow I will be starting my fourth week I hope this stall stops.

right here, only mine started 10 days after surgery.  I will be 3 weeks out this monday, still on all liquids and NO weight loss since day 10.  Even a gain of 2 pounds.  Its extra hard to deal with everything because I can't at least have some WL to be happy about.  Hang in there.  I hope it passes for us both soon! 

I haven't heard of anyone that didn't get a stall. I think we all did. I stalled for 3 weeks beginning at week 3. Very happy to report it's over and I'm losing steady.
Hang in there, just continue your program and it will resolve itself!!

I stalled for almost 4 weeks beginning week 3. It finally broke and I've been averaging 4 lbs/week lost or so ever since. Yes, it's incredibly frustrating!

Just keep doing what you're doing, and if you haven't already done so, make sure to take measurements. Generally while you're stalling you're still losing inches.

I'm 4 weeks out today and I've been stalled for a week now. But that's ok with the amounts that I'm eating there is NO WAY I will stay at my current weight. Hang in there it will be over soon. Good luck.

Hi,

You are not alone.......I am also on a stall and i am three weeks out, I am walking and getting in the protien i have not lost a pound in 4 days and i am 18lbs down since surgery.  i am so looking for this stall to be over so i can get back on the loosers bench

Yes I'm in a stall and it is my third week. Do you think magicallly it will go away once the fourth week starts???

I am in my stall.I lost 44 lbs first month.Now i havent lost a thing in 3 weeks im hoping it will soon be over..Just hang in there..

Yep, I stalled weeks 3 & 4, loss started back slowly and then this week, week 7 I dropped 10 lbs! Go figure.  Had a post-op appt. with my surgeon today who stressed to please stay away from the scales.  He said if I had to weigh limit it to once per week.

Of course I had the stall but mine started at about 2 1/2 weeks.  I like to call them "pauses".  Much less harsh sounding.   And it most certainly will end.
