I also didnโ€™t have cheat meal or day, I was struggling yesterday (caught myself wanting to eat a bunch of baked goods my sister made) but I didnโ€™t cave and Iโ€™m so proud of myself! I wonโ€™t be eating too much under my calorie goal though because I noticed Iโ€™m not getting enough energy in the gym and I feel weak. So Iโ€™ll be going up to 1700 like before. I want to take it slow, and keep my muscles!!

    I just found this string, and at a very opportune moment in my journey. Like some of you, I started back after getting some distressing news on my triglycerides, cholesterol, and A1C. I have for many years been pre-diabetic, and I historically consume a lot of alcohol. But whenever I've gotten poor blood results, I start back working out and dieting. This time, I hadn't been to a DR. since before Covid. My blood workup was so bad, I literally was in danger of stroking out. My triglycerides were over 580! Needless to say, I started back working out and dieting. I had been dining out every day, and drinking. I had a nasty gout flareup and wasn't able to wear a shoe, or work out, so I just enjoyed my life eating and drinking

    Since August 23, I have religiously worked out, and dieted. I have cut out red meat (for now) and eat a vegetarian diet 3 days/week. The other 4, I have chicken or fish, and lots of veggies, salad, etc. Remarkably, I dropped 30 lbs in less than 2 months. And that is the problem. I continue to expect huge losses, and it's just not possible. I was losing at least a pound/week because I gave up alcohol. The balance was a calorie deficit from working out and diet.

    But I've hit my second plateau. I continue to use the treadmill daily, and I push. I get my heart rate up by raising the incline, and I work. I also began weight lifting again. Now, I know part of my plateau is that I am building muscle mass at the same time I am dieting. I have increased my protein intake, and I do adjust my target caloric intake for the amount of working out I do

    I do hope the plateau breaks soon, it's been 5 days that I have actually put on a lb or two over my low. It is frustrating, so I am glad to be able to share with you all. I know I need to keep working--in fact, I did a second treadmill workout just a few mins ago.

    To all, I hope you keep on working. I do hope we do all benefit from sharing. And thank you for listening--and happy to get any feedback on how to break this plateau.

    Like I said to my sister, the changes happening on the inside of your body are more important than the visual changes your eyes see on the outside. When you DO go back to the dr. and get labs done- compare those results to the previous ones and let those good or better numbers be your inspiration to keep the faith. I too, hope this forum of sharing helps this time around. Iโ€™ve succeeded a few times in the past but Iโ€™m tired of falling off the health/nutrition/fitness wagon and want this to be my last time starting over from a big gain. Iโ€™m 65, and want to go into the last quarter of my life in the best physical condition, and STAY there! This needs to be a lifetime commitment to my SELF, FOR my SELF! Letโ€™s all do this!! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿฝ
    Good luck to us all on our journey! ๐Ÿ€

    @ggerics - Thank you for sharing. It gives me some insight on some of the challenges I will be up against. It sounds like you're on the right track. Like you mentioned, it could be muscle gain or you could be retaining water. The scale can't
    recognize between muscle weight and fat weight. Therefore, the exact number on the scale isn't important. Its just a way to measure your progress. Do you use other forms of measuring your progress? I find it encouraging to take measurements and pictures too. You should be proud. 30 lbs. is great progress. Keep strong. ๐Ÿ’ชYou are capable!
