I have been at this life style change and weight loss since Feb 9th of this year. So far I have lost almost 25 lbs, but that was mainly the first 3 months. I have been at a stand still for almost a month.
Yes I stick to my calories and eat most the calories I work off. I have never worked out so much in my life, usually 6 days a week for at least an hour. changing up the routine often.
I am hoping that my body is just building muscle right now, lets face it a bowl of jello had more muscle mass than I did 5 months ago. Its just so heart wrenching not seeing the scale move.
Thanks for letting me whine a moment.

    Just so long as your clothes are getting loose that's all that matters. When I weighed 125 I wore a size 7/8 and had about 26% body fat. When I weighed 145 I wore a size 1/2 and had about a 11% body fat ratio. It's all about how your weight is made up....mostly muscle or mostly fat. Do you measure your body fat? That would give you a boost if you knew how low it is.

    When you hit a plateau like that, i've heard you need to change up your exercise routine and do something different . Confuse your body!! Try walking out side or ge ta tape to do exercises with. Anything different!! Hope this helps!!:bigsmile:
