Why is this fat so persistent? I usually lose weight pretty fast. Not so much this time. My unofficial restart was on April 11th. I had cut back on the eating the week before, but nothing like a real commitment. That week, I went down 5 lbs(fluid). Nothing since then. Nada. No scale budge (on either scale), no change in measurements, perhaps a slight, and do I mean slight loosening in some clothes (1 pair of pants). I am weighing and measuring every darned thing I eat, I am exercising 4-6 (varies) times per week (strenuously lifting weights and doing cardio). I am always at or well below calories for the day. I am eating good quality foods. I do not have underlying hormonal issues(to my knowledge- all blood work has always been fine). I haven't even so much as wanted to cheat, so I didn't. Not once.
I know eventually if I hang on long enough, I should see something. How long should I wait before considering this a plateau? Can you even call it a plateau if you didn't lose anything to begin with? May 11th will be officially one month. Stories? Encouragement? Suggestions? DIE FAT DIE!!!!!!! I thought maybe I need to cut out the majority of carbs (I average about 100-150g/day now) and go low carb for awhile? Maybe I don't need to change anything and just wait some more? I just thought I would see something by now, just a pound even.
