What is the longest period of time you did not lose any weight on Atkins?

I know someone who went 7 months.

A loooong stall is not uncommon.

It gets you ready for maintenance!

I went quite a while without losing last year. Months and months. I was exercising so I lost inches and went down sizes though.

Now I am still on Atkins but losing (since about October last year) because I am maintaining

I'm experiencing a lull myself right now! I haven't really lost any weight for about 2 months, but clothes are still getting bigger, so I am still losing inches. It has gotten progressively slower as I have gotten closer to my goal weight. But slow & steady wins the race Or at least that's what I keep telling myself! It can be frustrating to see the scale hovering at the same number for sooooooooo long, but ya just gotta keep on rolling thru, eventually our fat will surrender!

I think I'm going on something like 5 weeks right now. I am making a few adjustments to see if that will help. Maybe it's just a natural pause. Have lost a very, very small amount in inches but otherwise the scale keeps bouncing around in a 5 pound range. At least I am currently at the bottom of that range. We'll see if it just drops on down or not. I still have a long way to go, so I am not too keen on a protracted crawl on the scales.

I can't even begin to tell you all how comforting it is to see that I am not alone in this fluctuation.

I, too, am bouncing up and down within 4 lbs. It's very frustrating, to say the least.

I was 183.8 two weeks ago, and this morning I was 185.2

It sucks.

About 3 months but I still lost inches, and then started losing again when my body was ready. Mentally preparing yourself to be patient is probably the toughest thing. Just put your Atkins autopilot on and stay away from the scale for a month or two.

Try EIGHT MONTHS... I lost 70 lbs in 7 months and then 2 pounds from goal, whamm-o. All the way down to the 70 lbs lost mark, especially at the end, it came off quickly. Then, the abusive relationship with the scale stepped in. You must pay attention to other things though. I've lost inches. I went from size 10, to 8 and down to size 6. Your body transforms on this WOE over time, whether you're in love with your scale or you're in a love/hate relationship with your scale. The box on the floor cannot override science. It's not possible if you're workin' the plan!

Thank you all for replaying. I thought I was the only one not losing. Now I know, I am not doing anything wrong. I did not know about PISS.

Re: What is the longest period of time you did not lose any weight?

I had a 13 week stall, a 2.5 month stall and another 3 month stall getting to goal weight.

Hmmm ... those are awfully long periods of time. <sigh> Ok ... just have to keep the eye on the grand prize!
