It's official

I have hit my first stall. Since Friday I have gained 1.5 pounds
I am trying to keep calm and not panic but IT IS NOT HAPPENING!!!!!!

Just needed to vent, thank you for listening

Hope to be back on the happy train soon.

If that's your first stall, then good on you! Usually there is one earlier, at about 3 weeks.

No need for panic, you can't help but lose weight at this stage. Put the scale away, and every time you're going crazy wanting to pull it back out, go for a walk instead!

It'll be over soon.

That is a "pause", not a stall.  If you were truly stalled, you would not have lost anything for at least a month.  Your body is adjusting and readjusting and settling in. 

No worries Harold,  I've been "paused"(thx Karen) for the last 5 days.  I'm not sweating it as I've lost 70lbs overall.  I wasn't expecting this so soon after surgery but am really not concerned.

I know your eating right and exercising so the rest is up to your body.  Not much you can do but keep up the good work.  Your goal will be here soon enough.

just breathe and keep doing the right things, Harold. You'll be fine. Your body is just rebelling. Your weight can fluctuate 2 or even 3 lbs a day.

Keep walking, keep eating, keep drinking. It'll happen.

Thanks everyone. That is exactly why I posted my vent. Your support and voices of reason will definitly smarten   me up.

Hope you all have a great day!
Harold

 Your doing fantastic!  This will pass.  Just keep doing what your doing!

Hey Harold.
Let's make a deal.
We'll touch base in exactly one month and see how much you've lost by then.
Betcha you're going to be reeling at the weightloss and the clothing size changes!
Betcha.
