Type in 3 week stall in the search at the top and you will find a million threads about it.

Stupid scales, don't trust them. They have to go down if we follow the rules. I will be there and will be frustrated too.

Hang in there, things will happen scale wise. Mine hasn't budged in ages and yet my clothes are getting bigger while my measurements are descending. Now scale start moving!

It's is frustrating but many of us lose some weight, then stall as our bodies catch up. Sometimes these adjustments and our exercise cause our weight to redistribute and this will make your clothes fit differently.  Keep the faith - if you stick to the program you will continue to lose the weight.

My whole journey was filled with little stalls. I would lose 5-10 lbs then stay the same for a week or two and then lose another chunk. I'm currently about 15 lbs below my personal goal and maintaining. I know it's hard but try not to let the scale rule your world.

Your mind is not playing tricks, your body readjusts with the quick weight loss.  However our minds try to tell us we are failing yet again~~there is no way this could be working~~it cannot be this easy~~they must have just head faked us they really did not do any surgery~~ etc etc.

The best thing to do is to sit back follow the plan and enjoy the ride.  I am just over 3 months out I have gone from a tight 26 to a 20!!

I have not been this size since I was in my 20's and that was over 30 years ago!

If you continue to follow what you are supposed to eat and drink obsess less over the numbers you will simply enjoy as you shrink out of your clothes.

Thanks for the wise words of encouragement. 

Almost every day I wonder if they really did the surgery.  Not that I want to find out in a bad way but you're right - we always think the negative way.

You guys are so right, I was feeling like I was failing.  Thanks for all the encouragement!  It's not easy, I have to have more faith in myself!

I hit my first stall at 2 weeks out. Now at 7 month**** another stall (have had many) scale jumps up and down a pound or 2 yet went shopping and went from large to medium?
If you havent down so yet take your measurements. You will finding during this journey that even though the scale may not move you actually will lose inches.
