This may sound a little dumb, but what is a stair step loser? I have seen people talking about it but not sure what that means exactly.

It means staying pretty much the same weight for days and then suddenly letting go of a few pounds quickly, and then the same for days, then a few pounds gone...  instead of a steady weight loss.  If it were on a graph it would look like stairsteps instead of a slope.

I'm a stair step loser... where you lose... then you plateau for a while then lose again than plateau.  Just means you aren't losing consistently I believe.

Yup. What they said. You can see on my profile (scroll all the way down to the bottom), I put my weekly and monthly numbers up. The weekly show you. One week I lose nothing, the next 3, etc, esp around 270 pounds or so. Things are a little more wonky now that I'm approaching a "normal" weight.

Note: I started at 375, do NOT compare results, everyone is different and loses their weight differently.

Okay you all thanks so much I was wondering about that and that is how I lose it seems at first it was a slope now in will go down some then nothing really then another drop but where I was on a 3 week stall and then this week I have lost only 1 pound it has me kinda freaking out that maybe I am pretty much done.

My body has settled into a nice little pattern of Sat/Sun/Mon & Tues I lose weight, then Wed/Thurs/Fri it takes 3 days off to recover and regroup and I stay the same (or sometimes even go up and down a few hundred grams).

Been the same for 3 weeks now.

I am a stair step loser too.....I have recognized my pattern to be

2 weeks the same  then two weeks of loss. Since the oh so famous 3 week stall.
