So about 2 years ago I lost about 75 pounds and did my first triathlon. I got hooked...... Once I had lost the weight I got off the really strict diet but continued my 6 days a week workout. Unfortunately I gained some weight back and now I am having a hard time losing about 15 pounds. seems like my body has adjusted to my workout regiment and won't let go of the weight. Anyone else experience this? I am currently training for a 1/2Iron in July.

    Yes! I switched to a 3-5-4-6/wk training regimen I was soooo aprehensive about just 3 days a week for one of those weeks but I actually increased my stamina and endurance. As you get closer to your 1/2 Iron switch to 5-6/wk. It may not work for everyone but it helped me. Also I tried intermittant fasting on 3x/wk and 4x/wk and calorie zig-zag, I've also tried doing 2-a-days on the 3-4x/wk but didn't feel like it was beneficial. Good luck! Which 1/2 iron are you doing?
