in Introduce Yourself
I've done every fad diet and lost weight then gained it all back plus more. This time I'm doing it right and have been hitting the gym with strength training and cardio. Been plateaued for a couple months but have maintained. Time to break this weight loss plateau and increase lean muscle mass! :)

    In the same situation! Set myself an original goal last year of losing a stone to get me started. As I lost and learned more about my health I realised I had more to lose to be a healthy weight for my height. In October I hit the 1 stone mark (woo!) but since then lost all motivation and am just maintaining.

    wondering whether I should mix it up and try something new. New type of exercise or adjust my diet?

    Need some help breaking this plateau!

    I've been stuck for a while too. I know I need to add more exercise to break out of the plateau.

    It takes A LOT of food eating healthy to reach my recommended calorie intake. With my workouts it's leaving me well below and won't let me post! I'm hoping to break this plateau in 2 weeks time :smile:

    @tess453 Congratulations on your weight-loss and maintaining! I'm changing my diet and keeping track of how much I lift so I can make proper progress. Sounds like you've done good so far! Maybe try changing 1 or 2 things at a time to see what works :) Good luck!

    Sadly, there are no gyms where I live, and there is only one, but considering I'm a young girl and there are a lot of "old suspicious men" as my mom puts it, I don't wanna take that chance
