I am becoming very frrustrated!!! lol
Once I hit a 20lb loss, it seems my weight loss has slowed to a crawl and I have had 2 plateau's now, and I am on one this week.
I zig-zagg between 1300-1800 during a week and it averages to 1500'ish (give or take 30-40 calories).
I go to the gym 3-4 days a week with 45-60 minutes cardio and do 20 minutes weight training. I make sure to do HITT and to change machines plus duration every time I go so I don't get used to it.
Why has my scale forsaken me Even my tape measurer has abandoned my quest. I have had the same measurements for a week and a half.
As for food/drink:
I drink mostly water, at least 4 cups (on a bad day) and 6 (on a good day). If I have something sugary or with caffeine I just drink more water to balance it.
I eat a lot of protein (red meat, chicken, fish, eggs). As for giving up the starchy foods it's probably not going to happen but I have reduced them slightly and I don't have much sodium as I used to.
The only medication I take that hinders weight loss is Depo Provera, but I have been on it for over 3 years and I was losing weight just fine before.
I just want to hit that mini goal and it seems it's decided to kill me in anticipation.
Does anyone know how to break out of this slow loss? I want to go back to a steady 1-2lbs a week. I know the body doesn't quite work that efficiently but maybe I can put it back on track.
