Why
Please note: I AM NOT A DOCTOR. If you want medical advice, talk to your doctor. Whatever I post, there is probably some surgeon or other health care provider somewhere that disagrees with me. If you want to know what your surgeon thinks, then ask him or her. Check out my blog.
The bad news: it still SUCKS!
Everyone goes through a stall around weeks 3 - 4. Here's my dramatic re-enactment of what's going on inside YOUR body.
"Holy Crap! Ok...we aren't getting enough calories!!! We let go of all our water, what the HELL do we do now! Stop burning calories! For the love of all that is good and HOLY...stop burning the calories. Maybe she'll eat more soon and then we can burn again but for now shut this mofo DOWN!!!!"
Two weeks later:
"Ok...so that plan didn't work out so well. If we keep going like this we will die. We're going to have to burn fat. Bring on the fat! Burn baby burn!!!"
And that's when your losses begin to pick up again. See...all makes sense now, doesn't it?

You dont know how RELIEVED I am. Thank you so much for putting that into perspective for me. I dont feel like a failure anymore, I honestly thaught It was too early to stall but what do i know,,nothing obviously ;) Im so thankful for the forums. I have been a nervous wreck for a few days and i actually got on and it went up a plb, but i went to the doctor and I was 3plbs lower than what i was. Anyhoo, imma take your word for it. Thanks a bunch.
