What happens AFTER stalls?

I had a stall last week (down 35 lbs, then the next day regained 2, then bounced around there until yesterday, when I was back down 35 lbs, and today I'm FINALLY down 36 lbs).  I guess this was my 3 week stall, delayed?

Anyhow, I know everyone is different, etc., but what typically happens AFTER a stall?  Do you go back to losing like you were pre-stall, or do things slow down, or does it just vary?

I'm just interested in the experiences of others. 

My intake in terms of calories/carbs is similar to before the stall, although I am slowly getting my protein from more food sources (supplements are still there, of course).

For me (and keep in mind everyone is different) when my stalls break I tend to see about a 1 lb loss and then several days of 2 to 3 lbs per day loss for a couple of days and then it levels off into another stall.

It depends on the reasons for the stall.  For me, when I "stalls", and I put that in quotes, because they were not technically stalls in my opinion, broke, I would lose 4-7 pounds the next week.  Once, I lost 11 pounds in the following 10 days.

I had a stall for the month of January, would lose 2 lbs, gain three, lose one, etc., then BAM next week lost 7 lbs.  However, I went from a misses size 20 to a size 16, with a net loss of 2 lbs for the month.  Go figure.

Ok my stalls would be two weeks and then I'd lose like 10 pounds in the next two weeks...then I would stall again and so on.  I just had one that lasted three weeks!  Then I lost six pounds in a week.  Still everyone is different, like many have said.  It seems like the first six months I had a stall every month.

I am a slow loser always have been always will be. Period. Here is how my weight loss cycles since the beginning.

2 weeks-lose 3-5 Lbs

next 2 weeks-gain 1/2 to all of the lost Lbs and sometimes more

next 2 weeks take off the original 3-5 + 3-5 more

Repeat.

Sad but true, I have learned that my body does what it wants and I have to remain diligent in my water and protein.

Everyone is different, that is me.

If it is that third week (or thereabouts) stall, you will typically lose more slowly when you resume losing as that initial 2-3 weeks of loss is mostly your short term reserves of glycogen (basically stored carbs,) which burns fairly quickly (around 2000 calories per pound) but once those are burned off then you start burning the fat - bad news is that the fat burns slower at around 3500 calories per pound, but the good news is that you actually burning the fat, which is what we are here for!

Beyond that initial one, stalls can come at any time for a wide variety of reasons (or none at all...) - hydration and water retention is probably the main variable around your basic loss rate, and that can be influenced by many things - hormones, water consumption, dietary sodium, changes in activities and exercise, dietary composition and many others that I can't think of.

Thanks!  I'm at 5 weeks, but never had a 3 week stall, so I think that was it?  Looking forward to using up some of my fat "reserves!"
