So I was stuck at 274-275 pounds for the past 6 days. I posted here last night and was told it was just the normal 3 week stall (though a little before 3 weeks). Well I just couldn't help weighing myself this evening. I know I need to loose the scale but I am kind of obsessed. Well tonight as the scale to a moment to calculate I said a prayer and lo and behold it came up 271.8!!!! I was thrilled. Does this mean the stall is over? Do you tend to stall often? I had my FI hide the scale and I only want it brought out on Tues morning...just once a week. I am weighing myself multiple times a day and I am thinking for me it's just not healthy.

 I know it's hard but STEP AWAY FROM THE SCALE!  Especially shortly after surgery because everything just goes screwy.  Eat/drink what you are supposed to and get on the scale 1x a week!!!  Have someone take the scale away if that's what it takes.  You are not what the number on the scale says!  You need to do this for you and eating right not just the scale.

 Might be over, might go back up tomorrow.  You won't know until you're consistently losing again.  I lost the same 2 pounds over and over for 3.5 weeks on my first stall.

I yo-yo and stair step all over the scale. Stay off if you need to. I weigh every morning and only record the losses (unless it's substantial and sticks around is my rule). I think my longest stall was 20 days, although I've slowed down a LOT lately (mostly my own fault, taking a mental health break a bit).

You're doing fine. Just keep doing what you're supposed to be doing and it will come off. It always does :)

I stall about every 10 pounds.The stall have also become much longer after the first 4 months.

It looked like this.10 pounds down in 4 days.Then it stays the same for 2 weeks then 10 pounds lost.Last stall at 5 months out lasted nearly 7 weeks but I did lose about 3 pounds in the 7 weeks so technically it was just a pause..lol

I have dropped 10 pounds in the past week so I wonder what is going to happen now!
