The scale is refusing to move
Title speaks for itself. I overindulged somewhat over the Christmas period, initially I gained 7 lb, although I realise much of that was water weight due to additional salt. Got rid of it in three weeks. And for the last two weeks the scale has just switched back and forth by 2 lbs, but never gone down. I realise fluctuations are perfectly normal, but I've been back on track for five weeks now, so I should see it move to the left.
I'm an expert calorie counter and have already lost 75lb (approx), so I know it's not due to me counting inaccurately. For cardio I dance five times a week, fast (HR between 70 and 84 % of max) and do two one-hour runs a week. I eat about 1850. According to this I should be losing about 1.5 lb a week. Yet for the last few weeks, nothing. Zilch. I drink nearly three litres of water a day, so I don't think it's due to water retention. This week I gained an lb back.
This is so frustrating. Any ideas what's going on?
