I am curious about this as I have ready many posts about "stalls" and weight coming off like a stair step - loss, stall, loss, stall.  Those of you posting about a stall.. is it only weight or are you stalling in your size decreasing?  I gauge myself more on fit of clothes than weight so I want to be sure to prepare! :)

As a side note, my surgery was a week ago today and my 2 week appt isn't until next week so I haven't weighed myself... BUT, my grand daughters teacher commented on my weight loss today so I know it's coming off.  Mostly see it in my face!  

Short term, I never found measuring reliable. You can measure five times in one day and get five different measurements. I weighed in once a week, but only measured once a month. Anything less was not accurate.

Be prepared for your first stall. Do a search for the three week stall. Everyone gets it.

HI stalled for part of week 3 and all of week 4.

I wish I would have measured but I didnt. All I can saw is the clothes definately felt looser but I have no empirical evidence to back that assessment.

I lost my weight in my FEET and face first. Shoes have to be tightened (i.e. velcro slippers) and laces pulled.

So we must be face sisters.

Enjoy the ride.

I am so glad I've lost it in my face!  I'm a little mixed on the feet... I'm a shoe lover so I may have to give up my favorites, but on the upside I could buy more!!! :)

No!

I am in the midst of a >2 month stall/plateau.  I am not freaking out because I am on target for EWL benchmarks (I am a lightweight).  I just keep working my plan and eventually the scale will follow.  

I do notice my clothes are looser, so the inches if not pounds are moving!

I've been in a stall for near a month now, will be 8 months out on the 11th. I have not found myself to be losing inches and I do keep track monthly of that, so for me it doesn't hold true that when I stall, I still lose inches. Granted I have lost over 100+ lbs. since my surgery last June and I expected things to be slowing down (from 299 to 196 currently)...I'm still following all my eating rules, exercising, drinking more than enough. I change up what I eat from time to time, it doesn't make a difference. Stalling is a normal part of weightloss. It will never be a constant...

Thank you so much for the insight!  I don't plan on measuring myself more than once a month so I probably won't notice the stall too much.  Once I'm released to start working out again, I plan to weigh myself weekly and will have my first weigh in next Thursday.  Should be interesting!  My biggest indicator of loss is how my clothes fit anyway! :)  This forum is awesome, thanks again for the input!
