Hi Deb-Don't get discouraged. I know it is frustrating. I am in the same boat right now. Maybe you and I can form a strategy together.
I am going to start with shaking up my workout routine a little more. I am still doing strength training on M-W-F and cardio or dance the rest of the days...but I am going to slightly intensify my cardio sessions-by either doing a session a few minutes longer, walking faster (when I walk), or somehow intensifying it a little. My strength days I am going to switch my videos out a little more. I still alternate them-but there are a few I haven't done in a while I am going to throw back in the mix to surprise my muscles.
Maybe you could do this along with me. It could be as simple as adding an extra 5 minutes to a daily walk or bike...or doing a 30 minute Pilates video instead of a 20 minute one...whatever you do, just increase it slightly. 5 or 10 minutes is not a big deal each day...but over the course of the week it is 30-60 minutes more of exercise each week.
I have been staying in my calorie range-but allowing a little more "not so good carbs" in there than I had been before. A few more crackers or a dinner roll or piece of candy...I am going to get back into limiting my treats to 150 calories each day-and make sure the rest of my carbs are good ones like fruits, veggies, whole wheat bread or pasta, and oatmeal. Maybe that will do the trick.
Deb-I forget what calorie range you have been doing. Could you refresh my memory and let me know your claorie range, your starting weight-and current weight? It may very well be you need a small change in that area as well...let me know. We can bust through this plateau together.
