I know that they say stalls are common, but I have not lost any weight in four weeks. I don't know what to do. I have lost 69 pounds in four months, but this stall is killing me....Any ideas on how to jump start your weight loss again would be much appreciated. I am so ready to get to 250...Thanks

That is a pretty long stall but you have lost a lot of weight. Are you tracking your calories, getting your water and exercising?

Yes I drink all my water and exercise everyday. I don't understand why I'm stuck in this stall. I'm going to start journaling my food today and see if it helps

when at a stall uping your protein and even your calories a little sometimes help kick your body into losing again. make sure what food choices you are making are good. remember 70 percent of your meal should be protein. maybe change up what you have been eating too.

Stay off the scale for a few days.69 pounds in 4 months is amazing.Think of all of the NSVs you have had.Make a list of them.

Also, are you measuring yourself? You're probably losing inches instead.

4 weeks is not a long stall... I've read some people say on here it's not a real stall unless it is at least a month. That being said I am sure it's driving you crazy. First of all you have lost a lot in 4 month... sometimes your body just needs a re-adjust period. I had a 3 1/2 week stall that started after week 1 and I had a 2 1/2 week stall later on. I am also 4 months out. You can be doing everything right and still get a stall. My only suggestions are change up what you are eating, don't get in a rut. Both times my stalls broke i ate a little more, or had some added fat. Sometimes we can be too low-fat.

I was in exactly the same spot as you!  This shall pass. I saw my doctor at the end of my first month long stall and he reassured me that it was normal, I was on track, and the scale would move. 4 days later I dropped 4 pounds.

I am finding that I stall on a normal basis. After that one I lost 20 pounds and have been at a stall again for 3 weeks. When I see this happening I step off the scale for a while because sadly, it is very frustrating. I see my doc again on the 17th and have decided to stay off of the scale until that day. I am so close to 'onederland' I can taste it!!

Best of luck on your journey! Sounds like you are having much success already!
