Weighed in today and hit a new low. To anyone stalled right now, hang on, it moves again.
Your journey
week 8 update posted today - the NSVs are adding up
Congrats on the new low at week 8. I stalled around week 6 myself and then dropped again without changing anything, so yeah, patience really does pay off on this stuff.
Played with my kids in the yard without getting winded. Fit into a restaurant booth comfortably, small thing but huge.
The booth thing hit me, I remember when squeezing into one was the stressful part of eating out. Down 71 lbs myself and it's weird how the little wins stack up faster than the scale sometimes. Congrats on week 8.
Stalls always break eventually - mine lasted almost a month around the 60 lb mark and then the scale dropped five lbs in one week. Congrats on the new low.
Stalls are so common that I stopped stressing over mine around month three, sure enough the scale caught up a week later. Congrats on the drop, and keep stacking those non-scale wins too, the booth thing was a big one for me as well.
The booth thing hit me, I noticed the same around 40 lbs down, forgot I used to squeeze in sideways. Congrats on the new low, week 8 was right when my whoosh finally showed up too.
16 lbs down at my end too and the stalls still mess with my head every time, good reminder they break. Congrats on the new low, week 8 was also when my clothes started fitting weird-loose instead of just snug.
The belt-loose phase hits before the scale shows it, I did the same thing around 30 down, kept hiking my jeans up thinking the dryer shrunk them. Stalls wrecked my head too at that point but the whoosh came on its own schedule. Congrats on the new low.
The weirdest part for me was pants getting loose before the scale budged. My injection-day tiredness faded after a couple weeks of hydrating and eating something with protein first, no real issues since. Congrats on the new low.
21 down here and week 8 was the same turning point for me, the tape measure kept moving on weeks the scale sat still. Love that you told the stalled folks it moves again, because it really does. Congrats on the new low.
Week 8 was when I stopped dreading the scale too, around the same 30ish mark you're at now. Rings spinning on my fingers was my sign it was still working between whooshes. Nice work sticking it out.
27 down here and week 8 was also when my stall broke after about ten days of nothing. The belt holes moving two notches kept me sane through it. Congrats on the new low.
Week 8 was my turning point too, right around where you are at 24ish down. My belt went two notches tighter during a stretch the scale refused to budge, so yeah, it always picks back up.
Stalls used to wreck me mentally until I noticed my pants fitting looser while the scale sat still. Almost 40 down now and week 8 was the same story for me, the drop always showed up right when I was about to give up on the week. Congrats on the new low.
Congrats on pushing through it. I stalled around week 8 too even at a much bigger loss, and reminding myself the scale lags while clothes kept loosening is what kept me from spiraling.
Week 8 was where my scale went quiet for almost three weeks too, then dropped like it was making up for lost time. At 52 down now I can confirm those lag stretches just keep happening, they never mean anything is broken. Congrats on the new low.
Only 4 lbs down so far and I'm already learning the scale lies sometimes. Good reminder that week 8 can be quiet and still end in a new low. Grats on breaking through.
That whoosh after a quiet stretch is so real, mine came right after I'd almost given up on the week. Congrats on the new low, and thanks for the nudge to anyone still waiting out their lag.
Congrats on the new low. I'm 28 down and my quiet stretches used to freak me out, but now I just wait out the lag because it always moves again eventually.
