Thread: I Shrunk During a Two-Week Stall

I completely agree with you. I have stalled for several days here and there but still appear to be looking thinner. When I don't loose for a day or two I try not to take it too seriously because I think our bodies are still managing to burn fat, regardless of what the scale says.

Thanks, okiku. I agree. AND a happy update: It's VLCD30 for me and I'm down 1.4 today, my biggest loss since VLCD7. I think the stall has broken! And today I celebrate 30+ lbs lost. Very glad I stuck out the stall.

1.5" in the waist is incredible! Thanks for the motivation, I'll keep it in mind for stalls!!!

Thanks everyone. I just wanted to offer some hope to people enduring long stalls. To be clear: the first week of my stall was compounded by TOM. But the second week was all set point stuff, I think. (We never really know, right?) Happy news: the scale continues to move downward. I officially dipped into the 140s today (exciting!) and am feeling very hopeful for the rest of my round. Hang in there everybody!!! WE CAN DO THIS!!!

I had a stall that lasted a week or more. I did find my clothes getting looser despite the stall. I ended up losing a lot of inches even though it didn't show on the scale. My clothes get looser every day it seems. just some more encouragement to all of you who are stuck at a stall.

Keep going Shylie! I'm through the stall and the scale continues to drop. Mostly, though, I've dropped two pants sizes this round, even though I've not lost as much weight as the first round. And my pear shape had turned into an hourglass, so I can fit into petitie sizes now, which look more well-proportioned on me (I'm 5"3"). So, chin up! Just trust good things are happening and get that tape measure out, LOL!
