Hi all,
So the first week of my new eating and exercising, I lost 2.4lbs. Ok, not bad. Second and third week, nothing. I have been keeping to 1800 calories (somedays lower to see if that made a difference), severely limiting my carbs after 3pm (except fruit and veggies), working out 3-4 times a week (with an hour of cardio) etc...and havent seen any more movement on the scale. Ugh. Is it possible to stall at the beginning before a whoosh, or is that only after quite a while? I am doing everything that has worked well for a 2-3lb loss a week in the past (and we're talking like 6 months ago, not 10 years ago), and its like my body is refusing to do what I want it to. Any advice? Im just not sure what I can tweak. Im not drinking enough water, so that has been my goal this week, and Im trying to do an extra workout day as well. But, Im eating pretty clean already...although not eating snacks most days, so maybe I need to eat 4-5 small meals rather than 3 larger ones to keep my metabolism going? Reassure me that this will break and Im not working my butt off for nothing!
