    Default For everyone who worries when they stall...

    I see so many threads bemoaning a stall, and worrying.
    I remembered today something I discovered during my first year (way back in 2011 ) which I think will reassure you.

    The body needs to keep a store of glycogen to release during metabolism/digestion. It takes 3-7 lbs of water to make the glycogen store, and this process occurs whenever it is depleted. Pulling that water in will look like a stall but it will release again as your body starts releasing the glycogen.

    Do not despair!

    Thanks Meggie.
    That is interesting.
    I have never stalled, but I know it can happen.
    The body is smart and will find its own way.
    That may be completely different then what we anticipated, but nevertheless, it all works out in the end.
    Just be patient and remember the golden rule: it's a marathon, not a sprint!
    English is not my first language anymore, so I may and do make mistakes in my spelling, or say things oddly. Please ask me, if you want any clarifications.

    I knew stalls happened to almost all of us, but never knew why. Thanks for your perspective!

    Basically, newbies, you WILL stall, so don't let it bother you. It's just a part of the process.

    When I stalled it was (I think) because I was literally eating the same thing and doing the same exercise every day. A bag of skittles and a week off of exercise and when I got back to it I broke my stall. ����
