As in how many times during your weight loss journey did you have to switch your diet/exercise plan because you hit a plateau? What did you try differently? Did it help in the long run?
Up until now my weight loss has been pretty steady. I work out a lot, nurse, walk everywhere and do mostly a whole foods diet (no sugar or artificial sweeteners, no juice, make much of my food from scratch, eat mostly just whole grains, no fried foods, lots of veggies/fruit etc). I haven't seen any weight loss for over two weeks now, which isn't a huge amount of time but my weight has been fluctuating like crazy on the scale every morning (it used to be steadily decreasing if only .2 lbs or staying the same). I do need to get new batteries for it so that could be part of the problem but still I don't want to use that as an excuse. Also one of those weeks was my TOM but afterwards I ALWAYS see a drop and this time I didn't.
I tracked my calories this past week most of the days and I noticed I'm eating too much bread (my carb/protein/fat distribution looked fine but I don't think I wasn't eating enough good carbs, you know what I mean?). So I'm thinking of starting the s. beach diet but to still eat fruit maybe once a day. I don't feel like I am gaining weight (my measurements are the same if not a tiny bit smaller) but I'm definitely not losing like I was. I'm pretty frustrated at this point and I can tell that a lot of feelings of this is hopeless and what's the point of not eating sugar if I'm not losing? are creeping up. It's especially annoying because I just moved from 4lb to 10 lb weights this week for when I do exercise videos so I was really hoping for a loss! There has been a lot of stress because we're planning an international move and the whole family has been sick including myself (just a cold so I'm still working out but DH and DD were a lot worse so I had to take care of them).
Any advice would be appreciated because I don't want these feelings to pull me off track!!!!!
