Had an AHA! Moment
So, I decided to go over my notes, booklet, food journal, etc. Then I figured it out. I have been eating too much protein for a few days a week. So any weight I was losing was being gained back. The nutritionist had said to eat 65g/day, but some days, I was getting in over 70-75g. I was weighing, but I was just taking in too much.
Now that I've got that figured out, I'm back on track.
Moral of the Story: Don't assume you've got it down right. Go back and check yourself every once in awhile.

For 3-4 weeks, sticking at the same weight is pretty common.
A true STALL (as I once read) was not losing weight for ONE MONTH or more. You say 3-4 weeks. Have you been recording your weight? I've found that, with me, I often over-estimate how long I've been "stuck". When I go back and look - the 3 weeks I thought I was the same was really only a week and a half. It is easy to forget when you stare at that scale every day.

I know exactly when I started to stall - the week I went back to work. That was August 16th, and the bouncing around has been since then.
Perhaps I'm rationalizing it, but I know I was told 65g/day, and I've been getting in more than that at work, and closer to 65 when I'm not working. I haven't heard about the true stall timeframe before - the most I've heard is 2 - 3 weeks.
If the excess protein isn't it, then I'm stumped. I guess we'll see what the next weeks brings. (I've got my 3 mon appt on the 27th and will bring it up then.)
I know what you mean by 10 days feeling like 3 weeks. I'm not even 3 months out, but it feels like 6 months.
Thanks.
