how many of you have been thru P-I-S-S(POST INDUCTION STALL SYNDROME)? and what was your experience? i have been doing Great! and i feel Wonderful...! but... i have not lost anything since i got off Induction... i know that it is probably PISS, because i have been eating Very Well... and i know that my body truly needs to adjust to eating this way... its been years and years and years since i have eaten this good! so im not going to get upset or anything about it, but i just wanted to know what some of your experiences were with PISS... Step Up Everyone!!!

Re: Who's Been Thru P-I-S-S ???

I am stuggling with my perception of being stalled for two months now. I started mid-June, and now at almost mid-October (that's 16 weeks) I have lost 31 lbs (and two dress sizes). Thing is, I have had these loooong spaces between losses which make me panicked and depressed, of course. But if I look at my loss over time I have lost the classic 2 lbs/week. So my theory is that my body isn't adjusting, so much, but that early weight loss is the water and the glycogen stores, and that later weight loss tells you what actual fat you have lost.

The other weird thing I have noticed is that I get these dents--sort of collapsed areas in my fat--that show up for days and days before there is any movement on the scale or tape measure. They are cool, but they raise my expectations for weight loss (measured loss, I mean), so then I have several days of disappointment to deal with before any movement on the scale. Of course I can tell you these things, but then not remember them when they are relevant to me!!
