Please, talk me off the ledge here...
I weigh myself on Fridays...
I have been staying the same weight for 3 weeks in a row now. 180 point something. I guess I have hit a plateau. I am being good about calories-- I try to limit to 1500 calories a day--sure, some days I don't do that, but overall, I am pretty good.
For the past 2 months or so, my gym routine is 5 days a week, 45 mins of the elliptical machine at a jog pace--about 3 miles-- and then 35 minutes on the bike at a fast pace.
A co-worker of mine says that this could be due to the fact that I need to switch up my workout routine. She says that sometimes your body just 'gets used' to the routine and then doesn't respond to that anymore. I am willing to try to switch it up, to see if that makes the scale go down.
I am so hugely disappointed. I want to look good in my wedding dress when I get married in September. I was doing pretty good up until recently. I have my period this week-- oh, that is ANOTHER thing-- ever since I started my weight loss regimine-- my period lasts for OVER a week-- it now starts off as next to nothing for 4-5 days, then its normal to heavy for ANOTHER 4 days-- so now its over a week long. It was also very hot here earlier in the week, so I suppose some of it could be due to water weight gain, I just don't know. I don't want to use that as an excuse.
any advice?
I really pitched a total fit this moring-- the worst ever having to do with this-- like a crying fit of frustration. My Fiance had to calm me down. He is a natually fit and thin person. I don't want to look horrible next to him in the photos. I have at least 20 lbs on him.
