I have been trying to stay on my calories and for the most part I have done really well. The scale say that I am losing weight but I also measure and do pictures. My measurements have stayed the same now for at least 3 weeks if not longer and my pictures I can see that my body form is changing but not necessarily getting smaller. I have lost like 33lbs. Each week I typically lose anywhere from 1.5 to 2.5 lbs.
I am unable to work out at this time do to a back injury and my PT says it will be probably till mid may that she releases me for light work outs.. So my weigh loss has pretty much been based off of calories. Well I was wondering if that's why I plateaued that maybe I have lost all I can right now with out the help of work outs.. Thoughts?

No. Losing weight = eating less than you burn. Exercise only helps with one part of the equation (quite frankly, not a very big part).0
