hit a snag on the weight loss road

teenyb71

I have lost 4kg in 9 weeks (slow I know), but for some reason cannot seem to get any further. I have mixed up my food, exercised more and am now at a bit of a loss - I feel like my body is resisting any attempt to lose weight. The last 2-3 weeks have seen me unable to shed even 100g.

Any ideas????

There's alot of factors that could be causing this. What's your caloric intake?

Hi Never2EZ

calorie intake is 1280 but am always slightly under or right on the dot. Eating plenty of protein, veg etc so am never really hungry, taking multivitamin in case I'm lacking in anything, drinking plenty of fluids........maybe because my weight loss is slow (around 400g a week) it is not always a weekly loss rather a general loss over a period of time?

You don't have any medical conditions do you? Like hypothyroidisim? I've noticed with myself, and alot of people that upping your calorie intake can help break the plateau. Of course you don't want to jump from 1280 to 2000. But slowly increase it and see if you notice a difference over time.

When I have posted under my calorie goal significantly I get a pop up warning that I could send my metabolism into starvation mode and slow it down. I know it sounds counter intuitive but you might try adding 500 cals a day for a week and maintain your exercise. It may bump your metabolism and get you off your plateau.
