Feeling discouraged

Is there a such thing as a 2 week stall?  I feel terrible that the scale doesn't move anymore. I'm following the plan to the t everyday. I walk everyday and drink 60oz of liquids a day.

There is such a thing -- I had my 3 week stall 1 week early, too.  Just keep following your plan and maybe put the scale away for a few days.  Make sure you're staying hydrated (maybe up liquids to over 64oz a day), and keep your protein to the levels your Dr. recommends.  Mine were 85g per day -- but I know some say lower.  Keep walking, keep drinking, and the weight will fall off.  I promise!  Don't get discouraged -- bodies are strange things and don't always do what we'd like.  This is a marathon, not a sprint...

Don't worry it's normal!  Keep following your plan. It happened to me.  The scale didn't move for about 3 or 4 days after my 2 week post op.  You will see the numbers go down!!!  Promise!! Keep up the good work. I'm down 25 pounds and I'm one month post op!

There are stalls all throughout weight loss, no worries.  They always happen, and they always suck.  Aim for more liquids, make sure you're sticking to your diet plan.  You'll be fine.

I have problems with numbers and was worried that I'd have issues weighing myself, but TrendWeight is an amazing tool.  Highly recommend it!

Sometimes I can be , I need to stop weighing myself everyday.
