Stuck in a plateau and would like advice

leelu137

Hi

I need some help sorting out how to best use MFP and fit bit. I am stuck in a weight lass plateau for three months. I weigh and measure all my food and log my exercise. I can't seem to find a point where my body loses weight anymore.

I have been attempting o lose 10 kg for such a long time and I keep,increasing my excerise and no results. I have not lost cm but I can feel my muscles are harder under the fat.
I am getting much fitter and I am very proud/happy with that. However the purpose of my journey is to fit back into my size 10 (Australia) pants and nothing is budging. I'm frustrated , annoyed and starting to get very distressed that all my efforts are for naught.

I have listed all my stats below so I can get your thoughts


Bmr - 1476
TDDE 2288

TDDE-20% 1831

MFP- set to lightly active
1540 calories per day

Fit bit steps per day approx 15000 - 20000
Fit bit calorie estimation around 2400
In one month I have burned 84000 cal and eaten 51800

When I look at my diary in weekly I'm always 3000-5000 calories under weekly goal.

Excercise is combinations of the activities below:
Walk s between 5-10 km at very brisk pace
Gym 3 times a week 60 minutes
My gym workouts include a mix of personal training sessions, weights training, spin class, pump class, body combat class, treadmill, oliptical, bike, running, walking, floor exercises
I like to keep my workouts mixed up and try to do different combos each week

My weight loss and gain history:
In 2004 I lost 26 kg doing Jenny Craig. 1 kg a week approx
2004-2009 I gained 10 kg
2011 I had a baby and gained another 10kg

Food:
Currently I have been trialling eating between bmr and tdde -20% and I have gained weight. Well to be fair I keep losing and gaining the same 1 kg. going up and down between 71 and 70 kg
I weigh and measure my food before I eat it.
If I'm an drinking alcohol I factor it into my calories for the day as with any treats as I do not wish to make any food a no go zone.
I make most of my food fresh and love to cook.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
