Hit the wall!

I agree. What are you eating? Since you are building muscle, your body might need a bit more food. Depends though!

You have to sit back and really look at all the areas of your diet and exercise. I know right now, my body is getting frustratingly accustomed to the low calories and extensive exercise and I tend to get "stuck" at a new weight every couple of pounds. I find focusing on things such as increasing my water intake and sometimes even getting a little more sleep at night tend to help me break through. If your calorie intake is high enough you could definitely try to decrease it, but you want to be sure you've tried all the little tricks before you do so, because depending on how much total weight you want to lose, you may have to decrease your calories even more in the future, so you don't want to put yourself too low on calorie limits very early on. I've also tried cutting out exercise for a few days (just two or three) while still maintaining my diet, and found that my body responds better to the exercise once I resume again.

These are just some little tricks I tend to use, nothing proven to work for everyone, but I thought I'd share a few ideas. I hope you are able to break through. Whatever you do, just keep at it, and it will pay off for you. Good luck :happy:

Have you taken your measurements? Sometimes you won't notice a loss on the scale but you will notice a loss of inches. That happens when you are losing fat and toning up.
