    It's easy to break through a plateau just have to do re calculate your tdee etc then eat the required amount to lose weight....calorie deficit for weight loss simple as that really :)

    Thank you all. I am paying attention to my macros now. Trying to break free from the scale.

    Something surprising happened last week that I wanted to share. I asked my trainer to take a video of me squatting. The person in the video was not an unhealthy obese person I imagined but a toned person performing sqauts in good form. The video pleasantly surprised me and made me realize a lot of problem is my own body image issue as well.

    how frustrating... get three or four plans to break the plateau and start with one, like your HIT and try that for three weeks and see if you start losing..then move on to the next plan if it doesn't until you find what will work.

    I hit a plateau years ago. i broke mine by eating a few off plan meals..ie; chicken and dumplings things like that. And then i went back on and started losing. So, I'd add two cheat days a week and see if that shakes things up.

    Whatever you do, don't quit and backslide, like so many people do when they get frustrated. You look amazing! Even if you never progress beyond this point (which I doubt will happen), just think of how far you've come and how well you've done thus far. Even if all you do is maintain, it will still be a success! <3

    You look great! I would try switching things up a bit as far as exercise routine and eating habits.
