I became very motivated about a month and a half ago and have consistently logged, measure myself, weigh in, exercised, watch what I eat. I feel strong, confident, and energetic, and very proud of myself for becoming consistent. I started on the scale at 211 it went down to 206 and back up to 212 and fluctuates between 206 -211. Grrr.

However here are my measurements which make me happy!

Starting:
L Arm: 14" R Arm: 14"
Hips: 45" Waist: 41"
Neck: 14"
L Thigh: 26.5" R Thigh: 27"
L Calf: 15" R Calf: 16"


One Month and 5 Days Later:
L Arm: 13.5" R Arm: 13"
Hips: 43" Waist: 37"
Neck: 13.5"
L Thigh: 25" R Thigh: 25"
L Calf: 14 3/4" R Calf: 14 3/4"

I have lost around 15 inches!

So overall I am of course happy with inches loss and the change in my fitness level. I work hard and I'm proud of that. However I still feel like the scale needs to be down.

My workouts are functional movements/crossfit based; designed by my trainer in my old town (plan is to visit her once a month for a few days to check in and be accountable with my exercise), I'll add in more cardio a few times a week, and I ride and care for horses.

Nutrition is based on what my nutritionist has designed for me. Healthy whole foods. I don't eat out much and when I do it's sushi. I stick to my eating plan pretty well, I think.

Has anyone else experienced a stall in weight loss when working out hard core and then later lost the weight?

My food/exercise journal is public, feel free to constructively critique and share your thoughts.
