i was so excited for actually reaching my goal, but I must have spoke to soon because since then i've gain a couple of lbs and whatever i do they are not coming off very frustrating i'm eating right and working out, i even change it up a bit, but i'm thinking my body is telling me this is it!!! oh well...........

Don't give up. Maybe change around what you're eating. Add my fiber and vegetables. Oh, you can add more of the wonderful fat flusher - WATER to your day.

Stay Strong!

Maybe its muscle you have gained. Muscle weights more that fat. Sometimes our body's do settle to a weight that is right though. Nothing wrong with that.

Don't give up, if you do you will only gain more pounds. Believe me I have been there and it is a constant struggle.

Dont Give UP!!!! Your body is just at a hiatus right now. What you have to do is change up your normal workout routine. Give it time and your numbers will start to go down. Also, take into consideration that muscle weighs more than fat

Keep up the good work!!

maybe you should change your settings to "maintain" current weight or did you do this already? do you possibly need more calories? that helped me when I was at a plateau...

Take 2 days off. eat a few more carbs or a few less carbs. You're body gets used to the same old same old and needs a shock or two. Don't give up!

How do your clothes fit? Maybe it is muscle weight as suggested earlier. If not, please stay strong. It is sooooo difficult to start back up if you back-track too far.... You can do this!

I agree with this!

When you "change things up" you often gain a few pounds. Strengthening different muscles causes inflammation at first, and muscles do in fact weigh more than fat per volume. The great thing is you are also ramping up your metabolism to loose even more weight. That new muscle growth will burn some fat from someplace. Get you a cheap set of fat calipers, Amazon has them.. They are a little tricky to use but with practice you can calculate your body fat percentage pretty accurately. In the mean time do it with a tape measure. Here is the link to the one I use, I don't use the software. http://www.linear-software.com/online.html Do the tape measurement method and see just what it is your supposed to weigh. If that is too complicated for you an exercise physiology lab can do it for you.

BTW I just started running again, I plateaued, slowed, and gained. It is coming off now.

thanks guys!!! i guess ill keep telling myself muscle weighs more than fat ... and eat more!! don't think i'll have a problem with that, lol.....now that i think about it i have more days where i'm under my calories, so that can probably be a big part of the problem...

wamsleye

I agree!!! I did you eat more than your limit yet!!

Don' t give up. You can do this !. You are gaining muscle and you just need to change your calorie intake level. good luck.

Muscle is more dense than fat, but a pound is a pound is a pound...A pound of muscle takes up less space on your body, however:)
