Hi im new to mfp as i have been trying to lose the weight on my own by counting calories by using an app, so far i have done very well, and lost 3 stone since January. I have been eating above bmr and below tdee exercising 6 days a week doing Josie Gibson 30 seconds slim dvd and Gillian Michaels 30 day shred and i have to be honest it worked really well. I am eating the correct foods aswell.
So now i have hit the dreaded plateau!!! Been on it for nearly 1 month now and beginning to get disheartened, I will not give up as i want to carry on being healthy and i really want to reach my goal but not seeing scale move at all or even going up 1lb and losing that 1 lb over and over is getting frustrating. I have tried having a few days off from exercise in order for my body to recover that didnt help, i've tried eating more calories and less neither works, i have also tried having a few bad foods as suggested by alot of people i know in order to kick start metabolisim but NO that hasn't worked either. Please can any one give me any ideas or ways to get past this horrible plateau. I still have 2 stone to lose and expected to hit plateau closer to goal weigh.
Forgot to say been trying to avoid high salt as i know it makes you hold onto water.
Thanks
