Plateau ....how long?

Bump! I have Plateau too.. Up and down the same 2 lbs..

I have found 30DS has been brilliant. But I'm about the same weight (61.5 kgs currently) and i am gaining muscle and losing fat at the same time which is why the scales aren't so reliable.
Suggest you check your body comp as well .
I find I don't lose unless I exercise twice a day AND eat WAY under my calorie intake. I kind of end up zig zagging a bit calorie wise but hardly ever eat what MFP says I should. Eating exercise calories just doens't work when my maintenance is only 1600 calories anyway.
Check your maintenance calories you'll be surprised how similar it is to your losing weight calorie goal. Doesn't leave ANY room for mistakes.
I looked at your diary and actually I think your calorie goal is way to high if you wish to lose weight.

It's going on 4 wks that I've been gaining & losing the same 2lbs!! I fluctuate between 131 & 133. The lowest wt I've seen is 131.4 but it didn't stick:( now I go from 133 something to 131.8. This is soooooo frustrating & I wonder how long this will last. It doesn't seem to matter that when I eat well or go over my calories nothing is working. My last day of bootcamp will be next tues & I'll be going to the YMCA after that. Just wonder what else I can try

I am too, stuck at 131.2 lbs- 134 lbs. Keep loosing and gaining the same 3lbs for weeks. And im a shortie 5' 1. so i still have another 20-lbs to lose.

Also, your body may be telling you it's happy where it is!! How many more lbs. do you have to go?

I hate, hate, hate, when people say this. This is nothing more than an excuse. You can look however you want to look, whether your body is happy or not.......it's just going to have to deal with it!! LOL

OP, have one day a week that you eat 2 x bmr and you will lose.

This is really interesting. Why do you say this?

I just broke my plateau by lowering my calories for a couple days, in taking more water, and doing an extra 15 minutes of exercise which brings it to 45 mins a day.

In regards to happy weight, everyones genetics are different. Some are genetically leaner than others while they eat the same foods as someone else. This doesn't have to stop you from achieving your goals. You may just have to get a little creative with how you go about it.

Having a spike day boosts your fat burning hormones. Hormones like leptin and T3 lower while dieting and this one day temporarily boosts these hormones and provides an increase in your metabolism.

I read here to change your lbs per wk you want to lose when you're 10 or lbs from your goal & that's why the number us higher

I think you might want to try eating more. I was advised to if you have less than 10 lbs to loose go for 0.5lbs a week. It sounded really scary, but it worked I lost 1lb in a week. I had been a deficit of at least 500 calories a day for 10 months and my body responded very well to the extra food. Try it for a few weeks, if you aren't loosing with your current plan. I now eat 1800 calories net, but I am quite active.

The post you quoted i found very unhelpful. It really does frustrate me when people try to push low calorie goals on others. Serious calories deficits like this may induce a lose, but it will include a significant proportion of lean mass too if you don't have much to loose. Personally I don't want to loose muscle or tissue from my organs or bones. To the OP - just keep doing what you are doing, in the knowledge that you are healthier and need to take it one day at a time!

It doesn't look like you are consistently logging your food, so I would suggest doing that every day. It's hard to help or even call it a plateau without knowing how much you are eating.

I've been up and down the same 2 lbs for 2 and a half months. 12-14 lbs to go. Might need to lose more when I get there.
I feel unless I've been 100% with calories and exercise (p90x) and eating clean, then I will continue to bounce. Can't be 80 -90% perfect. Just averaged out my net which is 1441 for the last 3 weeks but I'm supposed to be at 1381. And I've probably only did 5 one hour workouts a week instead of six. I'm debating whether to just eat back half the exercise calories for awhile. I"ve done nutrisystem and weight watchers before and there was no eating back and I was a slow loser compared to most but it was consistant and fairly fast compared to now.

The reason I haven't logged my food in about a week is because i have been really sick and haven't been eating alot. usually I am consistent with logging. But I have also noticed that I must be losing inches because my stomach has shrunk.
