Finally broke a long plateau!

After what felt like forever stuck at the same weight, the scale finally moved this week and it was such a rush to see it. I was starting to wonder if my body had just decided to settle in at that number after losing around 34 lbs. What finally got me past it seems to have been just patiently sticking with everything and trusting the process. Has anyone else found plateaus here tend to break suddenly after weeks of nothing?

Mine stalled hard around the 20 lb mark and then randomly dumped two pounds a few days apart, so yeah the sudden break pattern seems real. Sitting through the flat weeks is the hardest part, congrats on outlasting it.

Sitting at 29 lbs down right now and in one of those flat stretches myself, so this thread is exactly what I needed to read. My last stall also ended with a random overnight drop instead of a slow creep, so I'm betting the same thing happens again if I just keep doing what I'm doing. Congrats on the whoosh.

Plateaus breaking all at once was exactly my experience too, sat at the same number for almost a month around the 15 lbs down mark then dropped three in one week. Weird how the scale just holds everything hostage then gives it all back at once. Congrats on pushing through that stretch of nothing, 34 lbs is serious.

Mine broke the same way around 35 lbs down, weeks of nothing then two pounds overnight like my body was hoarding them. Congrats, that whoosh feeling after a long stall is the best.

Only 9 lbs down so far but even I've had a mini taste of this, three flat weeks then the scale dropped a pound and a half in two days. Sounds like the sudden-break thing happens at all stages, which is weirdly comforting. Grats on grinding out 34 lbs.

At 26 lbs down and my stalls have all ended the same way, nothing for weeks then a couple pounds gone almost overnight. Reading this at 34 gives me hope the pattern keeps holding. Congrats on pushing through the boring part.

At 28 down I've seen the same thing, my longest stall was about five weeks and then three pounds disappeared in like four days. Makes it easier to ride out the flat stretches knowing they tend to end all at once.

Same story here at 36 lbs down -- my stalls always seem to end with a few pounds vanishing over a couple days rather than trickling off. It's wild how consistent that whoosh pattern is once you've been through a few of them.

Down 11 lbs myself and just came out of a two-week flat spell that ended with a 2 lb drop in one day, so the sudden-break pattern is holding for me too. Congrats on the 34, that patience through the boring stretches is the real win.

Down 43 on Zepbound and every one of my long stalls has ended the same way, weeks of nothing then a few pounds gone in a couple days. At 34 lbs you're right in the zone where mine always broke, so hopefully that whoosh keeps coming for you too.

Down about 29 myself and my longest flat stretch was six weeks before four pounds showed up almost overnight. It really does seem to be the pattern rather than the exception, so hang in there through the next quiet stretch.

Only 16 down so far but I already hit a three-week stall that broke with two pounds in one weekend, so the sudden-release thing seems real even early on. Good to hear it keeps happening further along too, makes the flat stretches way less scary.

Only a few pounds in myself so I can't speak from long experience yet, but it's genuinely reassuring reading that even people 30+ down still get those sudden drops after quiet stretches. Bookmarking this thread for whenever my first stall hits.

Early days for me at 5 down, but filing this away as proof the stalls pass. If a month of nothing can flip into a sudden drop even 30+ lbs in, I'll try not to panic when my first one shows up.

Congrats on pushing through, that 34 lbs is no small feat. Mine were the same way, weeks of nothing then suddenly a couple pounds gone overnight, happened at least four or five times on my way down 84. Sticking with it through the flat stretches really was the whole game for me.

Same pattern here, down 29 on sema and my last stall sat at the same number for about five weeks before dropping almost 3 lbs in a few days. Whooshes seem to be how my body does it rather than steady weekly losses. Glad the scale finally moved for you.

My stalls broke the same way, weeks flat then a sudden whoosh, so at 17 down I'm learning not to sweat the flat stretches anymore. Yours sounds like it hit right when you'd almost given up hope, which is exactly how mine went too.

Mine broke the exact same way, sat at the same number for almost a month around the 20 lb mark before dropping two pounds in like three days. Now I just assume the scale is lying to me during stalls and the whoosh is coming eventually. Congrats, that first move after a long flat stretch feels amazing.

Down 61 myself and every single stall I've had broke the same way, weeks of nothing then a sudden drop. Congrats on pushing through the doubt at 34, that's usually right when the whoosh shows up.
