2 weeks since the scales moved
So I am kind of stuck in "no man's land" right now. It has been 2 weeks since I have seen a drop in weight. I weigh myself around twice a week to make sure I am staying on track, and when I noticed the static I started to weigh everyday hoping to see a whoosh or something. I am actually losing and gaining the same 2 pounds every day. I weigh one morning 2 pounds heavier, the next morning 2 pounds lighter, the next morning 2 pounds heavier, and so on.
I can post a menu if that's what it takes to get everyone's advice, I can do that. But, I have begun cardio pilates and regular pilates on alternate days and I assumed the reason I wasn't losing was due to water weight because my muscles were so sore I was literally in pain. I know when muscles are repairing themselves they hold water so I get that, but if I am still burning fat, I should still see some difference, right?
Maybe I am confused, but I need ya'll to guide me right now.
How do you push through when you're in between losing and a stall?
I can't say it's a stall because it hasn't been four weeks and I can't say I'm still losing because the scale doesn't show it and my measurements are static.
I am going to continue the pilates because it gives me a serious workout that I actually like doing and it's different from getting on the treadmill but I'm hoping that my body gives it up soon and let's me have what I want. Any suggestions?
I just want to know if anyone else has ever gone through something close or similar to this. The same 2 pounds are really working my nerves and I can't figure out why they keep coming back every other day. I have cut down on my heavy cream, cut out the sugar free syrups, cut down on salt and the only other thing I can think of it to start eating more fat for a few days to see what happens. My normal carb amount is around 20g a day sometimes 15g sometimes 25g if I try really hard. Being this is my 3rd week in OWL Rung 1 I wonder if something else is going wonky. Please, please, please help me figure this out.
