We must all be busy doing or visiting/home teaching

Where is everyone? No new posting for a while. I have a question for you post ops out there. Did any of you hit a stall in weight lose about 3 weeks out. I have been the same weight for about 1 1/2 weeks it is really starting to bug me. Anyone know why this is? I posted on the main board yesterday asking the same thing. Even if the scales went down a little bit I would feel so much better. Barbara in Vancouver WA

Hi Barbara, I think we've all hit a stall in our weight loss as we go through our journey. Be patient and do what you're supposed to do and all of a sudden you'll see a good drop. Your body may just be thinking it's in a "starvation mode" and trying to do it's best to hang on to whatever it still has. If you keep on eating the way you're supposed to, your body will realize you're really not trying to starve it and you'll see a drop in the scales. A piece of advice from me (for whatever it's worth), don't skip meals. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Your body needs to know that you're not trying to starve it by giving it a little nutrition after a night's sleep with nothing to eat. If you could add dairy, that would help also. Good luck, we've all been there. Melody

Yes Barbra...this board doesn't get much action. So, I don't check everyday. Yes #2. I had my first stall at about 3 weeks. It lasted a little bit until my body caught up with the loss in weight. You will have many more too. don't get discouraged. Take measurements and record them. Many times when you hit a plateau, you will notice that you continue to lose inches. Its just part of the journey....you'll get where you want. You definitely aren't the first person an early stall has happened to. Christy
