Plateau

I've lost almost 30 lbs but am struggling to loose the last 15lbs I've been stuck at about 162-164 lbs for over a month and haven't been able to loose. I'm doing the fitness pal still and excersising about 3-5 times a week. I'm also post natal about 9 months now and am still nursing my baby, so I add about 600-800 calories extra for that. Any moms out there with suggestions? Thanks

    I would consider waiting until you are done nursing the baby. The first step to breaking a plateau is ensure you weigh everything every single day. Logging accurately is vital to ensuring you are in a deficit.

    I had a plateau too and it lasted 4 weeks. Keep at it. Don't get discouraged, just keel doing what u have been doing.

    Also consider tweaking macros if your tracking to them . Up the fats lower the carbs . While breastfeeding I wouldn't recommend too much in way of deficit eating

    Last time when I had the plateau problem, my trainer suggested that I add more cardio, and it seemed to help a bit.
