Narrative:

On takeoff climb from ZZZ at 300 ft AGL and 160 KIAS; the stall warning stick shaker activated for approximately five seconds. I pushed forward on the stick as the pm confirmed that the flaps and airspeed were both set and correct. Pitch attitude was decreased from eight degrees to five degrees; which resulted in the aircraft accelerating to 180 KIAS. Flaps were set at 5 with a green light. The flap transient light did not illuminate. After the stall indication stopped; we continued the takeoff and departure without any further stall issues. While still flying the departure to our destination; we called ZZZ ops and verified the load sheet numbers were correct. After looking in the QRH and not finding any guidance; I decided to increase our landing weight; for performance computer calculations; to just below max landing weight. By using 109;500 pounds (which was the per-calculated landing weight on the release) we eliminated the possibility of setting a final approach speed which was too slow. This procedure ensured we did not have a weight and balance issue. After landing; we asked for a bag check audit to confirm our load sheet numbers. Our zero fuel weight numbers were found to be 300 pounds low; which would not cause our indications. A logbook writeup was accomplished and maintenance was notified.
