Dear celtia, don't worry yourself. Ok? Your strong to go threw this. No, your not going to turn into a ball of muscle. I do think...your body is just going threw a sage, were it is mantaning that weight for a this period in time, and that maybe perhaps your biulding muscle-and don't be afraid of that ok sweetie? Eventually you'll burn up all your fat and be a wall of muscle, so you will get down to a very slim size. So don't stress your self out, sometimes things happen for a reason. Learn form this.
So, you need to mix up your work outs, like peccavi has told you. Mix it up. Drink alot of water, I'm sure you know this. And it's importent to eat alot when you want a healthier slimmer toned body.
But eat small meals around 5 to 6 for your metabilism to get higher.
Yes, your metabilism has changed. Don't loss faith though. I do think it has ajusted to balancing the carbs you burn and the carbs you intake.
But, I'm not sure what's happening to your body, maybe consalt a doctor, or someone who is a really knows. Maybe someone else here can tell you exactly.
You know you can do this, don't get frustrated. If you continue to work out and also eat veggies/meat/some fruit here and there/milk/...just organic food, and exercise. Then you should start lossing wieght.
May I suggest changing your exercises up and seeing if that makes a difference. Maybe get a jump rope for cardio. That will sweet some pounds of, for sure. And also doing wieghts is good-not exactly to build muscle if you do slow reaps is good if you just want to burn and tone. Go on walks, do sit ups, make sure to streatch-maybe look into yoga and swimming works all parts of your body, the Glazel I've heard from people helps and it's good on your joints. I have one.
So, if nothing at all has changed for you, see maybe someone who can tell you exactly what to do, maybe you should not exercise to much if that's waht your doing, maybe over doing it is causing this. Mental picturing is good too, sometimes our body wants to hold on to fat, it might think you need it to survive. Tell body body no, if that doesn't sound wierd.
If you eat less calories then you burn you'll loss wieght. Maybe it's even. Maybe that's the problem here, perhaps it's even. Same amount of calories burned as you put in. So you'd say at the same wieght.
Fix that if that's the problem, maybe eat better or different foods, I'm not sure if they give you good at WW. But maybe instead of making complicated meals eat minni meals threwout your day. Maybe 3 hours apart.
Try that, see what happens. And keep it up, swim, walk, jog, do sit-ups, take a break here and there. Don't to push your body to hard, it might have to adapt to change slowly-I think it will fight back-it might think your trying to force it into a survival mood so it would want to hold onto fat(it's in our Dna) learn to turn off that switch and make your body want to be slim and tone, so maybe relaxe yourself alittle bit, if you eat good and not exercise for the day it doesn't do anything bad to you.
Think good thoughts. Stay positive, I know it's hard. We are all her to support you.
You can do this, don't stress out, and get help to see what's the problem, other then that you should see a change.
Hope it helps, sorry I wrote alot.
Eat carbs before twelve(that's when our body needs it the most and will burn it that fastest), eat dinner before it gets dark. Eat veggies anytime. Try not to eat carbs at night. If you get cravings they only last around 10 minutes, so chew gum drink water or snack on something healthy and organic when that happens. Like some leaft over chicken. Pop it in the microwave. Also never beat your self up, be proud of your self so fare.
k?
Most importently, only eat when you are hungry-that's the big key and don't over do it. It takes 20-30 mintues for your brain to signal us that we're full. And always get enough sleep, it triggers something in us when we don't get a good nights sleep. Love and respect your body, and don't get stressed. It's a growling process, like fighting our own monsters-but you CAN do this, don't ever think you can't, look around here, there are alot of people who have reached thier goals.
ok, hope that helps. Good luck.
also, peccavi makes a great point.
