I started at the end of last May, and after 2-3 mos I stalled for 7 miserable weeks. Not only did I stall, I GAINED weight I was totally discouraged. During this time I went to an out of state conference that was catered. There was not much there that was LC friendly, and I used it as an excuse to totally blow it. When I got back I was 5 lbs heavier. I got right back on the wagon, lost those 5 and moved right past my stall point. I haven't had a really long stall since then, although there have been a few times I have gone several weeks with no loss.
