I dropped to my goal weight of 127 ( I am 5'4") last March. I then ( on the same diet) proceeded to drop down to 117.
I was hoping to get down to 115.
I also started WL in April ( of course this was the wrong way since I had been doing all cardio as I was losing weight).
Anyway my diet is very similar in calorie intake though I am eating more protein as is suggested for WL and the only other difference is that I make my own chicken broth and have a veggie/turkey soup for lunch.
My question is why is it that I can't seem to get back to 117? I hover between 118 and 120.
My husband says it's because I have put muscle in the place of fat.
But aren't muscles supposed to burn more calories than fat???
My pants (size 6) are not tighter --maybe a bit looser actually but I can't figure out why I can't get back to 117 and my dream of 115?
Is it the muscle building or the soup?? or what??
