@9bhtn65nzj Sometimes at a plateau like you're experiencing, changing up your food a little might jumpstart your metabolism. You might need a little more protein, or to tweak something like the amount of fiber or fruit/veggies in your diet. Try searching "Plateau" on the main Community page and see if there are some suggestions that you can try. The number of hours you're sleeping can affect how quickly you lose too. I sleep pretty crappy most nights, something I'm trying to fix. If/when I sleep at least 7 hours I tend to see my weight go down more easily. I don't know if any of that helps - I'm not any kind of expert, but a lot of the threads on MFP will address this; it's common in most weight loss journeys. Just hang in there. And I hope your daughter has a good birthday.
Thanks for your kind words of advice. Yes I’ve had bad sleep most of this week and lower protein than normal in my diet so will address those two points this weekend and hopefully kick start next week off in a better position 🤓2 -

Heaviest Weight: 183 lbs
Ultimate Goal Weight 144 lbs
Height: 5’5
October Goals:
Lose 8 lbs
3 x intentional walks a week
Oct 1: 168
Oct 2: 167.8
Oct 3: 167.8
Oct 4: 167.8
Oct 5: 167.6 a really slow week for weight loss this week. I have logged consistently for 45 days. I know the weight will ‘whoosh’ eventually, just have to stay on plan. I will continue to IF and drink my 2.5 litres of water a day 🤓🤓🤓
Oct 6: 167.4 - I can’t believe I am still 167.x! But I’m not going to be disappointed and binge because I’m trusting the process and know the whoosh is coming. The weight is still going down which is better than maintaining or gaining so that’s positive. It’s my daughters bday today but I’m still going to stick to IF because it works for me. Wish me luck! And hopefully tomorrow I will break into the 166’s 😬😬😬
Oct 7: 166.6 - over the moon to have finally moved into the 166’s!!! Coincidentally had an amazing nights sleep last night. Slow and steady is fine as long as it’s going down and not up. Really focused on my water intake yesterday so that clearly helped to get the scales moving 🤣🤣🤣.

Yay! 🎉 Happy for you!
And yes, the down/up/down of weight loss can be frustrating, but if one can look past that and see the long term trend is downward, it makes it a little easier.
Have a happy Saturday, everyone!

I feel like I keep gaining and losing the same 2 lbs, @9bhtn65nzj . Hang in there. I've pushed myself to work out more this week -- back on the stationary bike and the treadmill if I have time for both.3
