Using the stall word too freely

I understand and also hate the scale not moving. I also want fast results. I get it!

But some of us ...including myself, are using the stall word tooooo freely.
Our bodies need to adjust and there is no possible way our bodies can
keep losing big numbers.

I am sure when we call it a stall....our bodies are just adjusting and we are still losing inches.
OR WE HAVE SLIPPED AND EATING a bit or two of the crap food and our weight doesnt
go anywhere.

Just because we dont lose a pound in a week doesnt mean we are in a stall. Our bodies could just be adjusting. thing about it!

Please understand I am guilty of this too. Also, we could be in starvation mode where our bodies WONT LOSE WEIGHT.

So which are you today??? :))))

Well said! Also there is not really a starvation mode, the body is realizing that it is not getting the same amount of carbs and it is storing them when needed. Remeber carbs are the body's energy, there are good carbs and bad carbs.

A-MEN... but so-called "starvation mode" gets tossed around too freely also.

I agree! I think that there's a lot of pressure on us losers because we are comparing ourselves with others. I don't call it a stall until I have not moved or have increased over the course of three or more works without slipping on my diet and exercise regime.... and unfortunately, I've had two real, big stalls! Still, I'm happy with my weight loss, and the stalls are manageable. They taught me how important it is to relax and enjoy the ride. I now weigh infrequently, onced a week tops, but really more like once a month, and am not obsessively checking my measurements every day (especially since my waist has been the same measurement for the past thirty pounds!).

Today I am neither stalled nor losing. I have no idea what my weight is doing, because I am focused on simply living my healthy, active life!

Personally..I'm going to use the stall word..what else would you call it? It would sound pretty funny as a post topic to be worded "Ugghh..frustrated that my body is still adjusting"...

Sorry...but I prefer to say stall..

I agree - I don't know what word we would use if we didn't use "stall." I'd rather see that than plateau!

Weight loss pause?
reprieve?
stoppage?

That's not what she's saying, LOL. She's saying the word 'stall' gets tossed around too freely. I've seen people say "I haven't lost a single pound in three days, I hate this stall!" That's NOT a stall.
