Stalling?

[gaffe]

How long should one be at the same weight before deciding they are stalling?

I have been at the same weight for a week. I should mention this is my 14th day on induction.

Thanks.

A stall is 4 weeks. You are nowhere close. A slow down is normal between weeks 3-5 for most people. You may want to post a sample menu so people can look at it for you. I found my lack of appetite caused me to go into starvation mode because I just forgot to eat. Have faith, even if you aren't noticing results on the scale, you are probably losing inches. Inches is probably a more accurate measure of how you are doing anyway. I tried buying a new scale, but it still gave me the same reading as the old one.

Hey,

Thank you very much

Have you worked out what sort of metabolic resistance to weight loss your 14-day induction loss represents? The chart is in chapter 13 of DANDR.

[gaffe]

Yes, it is average.

[Elizellen]

Great

Do you take measurements (waist/hips/bust/thighs/wrist/ankle etc)?

Seeing them diminish often helps confirm our losses even if those pesky scales refuse to

[gaffe]

I just did my measurements today. Both my calves got larger. I lost 1/2 inch off my waist, and an inch off my hips.
I am worried I just measured wrong. How am I an entire inch smaller around my hips with no weight loss?

Are you like days away from TOM? Then you might be retaining water in your legs... hence the "larger" calves and the lack of weight loss.

[gaffe]

Yes, just a couple. Hmm.

You know I called this "hesitation: the end of Induction Stall as it just about happened to all of us. This is when trying on those tight jeans that you had to lay down on the bed to snap and zip now come into play. You try them on and OMG there is room to breath now.

Your doing great.
