Mtaratoot I did do a 7 day average from March 9th to 15th and it was 2.83lbs. But my loss from March 8th to 15th was 4.8lbs! I lost
1 and 3/4" off my shoulders
1/2" off my waist
1/2" off my abs
1/2" off biceps
So all that shoveling along with my workouts did burn off fat. I won't continue doing the 7 day average as I'd rather the results from my measurements and the clothing I've had to give away and purchase new because I've dropped 3 sizes so far. But thanks for your inputπ5 -

Hi! I'm Paige. I'm 46 and been struggling with my weight for a large chunk of my life, about 40 years now. It's gone up and down and up and down due to unhealthy behaviors. So, trying to do this right this time. I have psychiatric meds that I take that lower my metabolism, but I am working with a dietician that specializes in the behavioral field to help me manage that and my healthy habits.

Total loss for March: Essentially unchanged this week, but still up for the month. I am still in maintenance, but not by a whole lot. Weight actually was higher earlier this week, and it's coming back down. I am down 6.6 pounds for the year.
Stick to it!

I don't know why I am stuck in this 146-148 rut (for two months now). This isn't my first rodeo, so I am aware of all the issues that can stall weight loss. And my goals are relatively modest. It's kind of frustrating and funny. Oh well. That I am even showing up to document this is my own way of prodding myself to keep trying. Hope everyone else is doing well this month!

@AllyNorth Ever think of changing up your routine? Eat at different times, workout at different times, do different workouts you haven't done before? Body gets use to repetition and stops burning as it use to because of it. Give it a change overall and it should give it a motivational boost. Same as doing everyday routines, then all of a sudden you take an unexpected vacation, even if for a weekend and you feel rejuvenated. Body reacts the same way your mind does. Give it a change, it should go the trick2

How would that work?
If doing an activity burns a certain number of calories, how would the same activity burn a different amount of calories if you did it at a different time? If a food has a certain number of calories, how would it have a different amount of calories at a different time?
Your body does NOT "stop burning" calories just because it's an activity your body is used to. You might have better technique and do the activity more efficiently. If I walk an hour a day, I will still use the same amount of calories after days, months, weeks, or years as I do the first day, assuming my weight hasn't changed. If I lost weight along the way, I'd use fewer calories because I was carrying less weight around, but otherwise - no.
If I eat a serving of yogurt, oats, and a chopped apple every day at the exact same time, it will have the same number of calories next year as it did last year.

I know just how you feel-- x2. I've been stuck at 172-176 forrreeever.
I used to just eat a little over tdee one day and it would shake the scales up and get it moving again. Now I just gain 2 pounds temporarily. Aiming for 164. So frustrating!
P.S. we will persevere!3 -
Because you change the foods by the amount of proteins, carbs and fats in percentage and your exercises would be from just cardio to weight training which burns in your body differently or some other activity. Also just changing your same routine alone can give your mind and body a shift in how it reacts so it will respond differently then normal. Think outside the box for once, maybe you might learn something also. I've been open and trying different things to see how my body and mind responds to it, whether good or bad maybe you should as well or others. Never know what you may learn about yourself or what you didn't know before. Open minds lend to endless possibilities π3
