Stalled 3 weeks 1 kilo to goal

yo the 9 is huge. i stalled at 100.4 for like 3 weeks too. what finally moved it for me was actually logging my late-night gaming snacks instead of eyeballing them. i was smashing pretzels/chips at 1am and calling it “whatever.” tracked sodium for a week and game nihts were like 5k. did

Night shift screws the scale. I stopped weighing after work.

Now I weigh after my main sleep, before coffee, after bathroom. Same clothes. Also checked sodium. My “healthy” pre-made shift salad was 1400mg.

Cut it, dropped 1.2kg of water in four days. Three weeks at the same number is usually water and gut, not fat.

What time of day are you weighing? And are you eating during the shift?

That was my hidden pile of calories.

Three weeks bouncing between 100 and 101 after 30 kg down — brutal, but have you measured your waist lately? I stalled for a month right before my first big milestone and the scale sat frozen while my belt went in two notches.

Turned out I was holding water from a new strength routine plus garbage sleep, and the drop showed up all at once. What changed in your last three weeks versus the month before — training, salt, stress, sleep?

Sometimes a plateau is just recomp wearing a disguise. Also worth checking: same time, same conditions every weigh-in?

One salty dinner can hide a kilo for days.

Hi and welcome to posting—I’m literally day 5, so I’m the last person with answers, but I’m already nervous about my first stall. Congratulations on the 9! During those three weeks, did anything besides the scale change—like waist measurements, rings, or how your clothes sat?

I’m trying to train myself to track that now so a plateau doesn’t wreck me. Also, was the 30-minute thing daily or a few times a week? Just curious what a normal week looks like for you. No pressure to answer—I’m just taking notes.

Data point: after ~30 kg down, a 3-week flatline at 100–101 is often water/glycogen masking fat loss, not a true stall. Are you comparing 7-day averages or single mornings? If single, weigh daily and look at weekly means.

Also audit sodium/carb timing, constipation, sleep debt, and whether training volume changed 3 weeks ago—new activity can hold water. What changed at the same time the scale flattened? That’s the variable I’d check before changing anything.

Congratulations on the 9—that’s a big deal after six months. One thing that helped me stop spiraling during a bounce: I switched from daily scale to a 7-day rolling average and also logged sodium, fiber, and sleep.

The scale looked flat, but my average was still creeping down about 0.2 kg/week. Have you noticed anything else shifting

Congrats on the 9. I lift 4x and had a 3-week flat stretch near a milestone too. The thing that helped me was ignoring daily weight and tracking a 7-day average plus waist at n

Hi, I’m brand new here—only week one, so please take this with a grain of salt—but I just wanted to say the first 9 is huge. Also, during that 100–101 bounce, did any non-scale things change?

I’ve started measuring my waist at my belly button once a week and taking a monthly photo, because I know the scale can sit still while inches move. Rings, watch band, or how a favorite shirt fits can be clues too.

Did you notice anything like that while you were stuck, or was it truly nothing moving until the scale finally dropped? Congrats on 130 to 99—that’s really inspiring to a nervous newbie.
