    Hi Chardonay, please clarify: when you say you are "really struggling now" are you referring to your motivation to lose weight or to the fact that the scale has stalled despite your efforts? How tall are you?

    Are you using a food scale?

    Using a food scale makes a huge difference as you can be over eating without realizing it.

    If you're working out you may also be putting on muscle, which is great news! Have you been taking measurements or progress photos? A kilo (or pound, whatever you prefer as a unit of measure) of fat is approximately 5 times BIGGER than muscle. So while the scales may not be moving, it's possible that your measurements are still going down.
