Help my progress has stalled

Keep doing what you are doing- your progress will only stop when you stop trying. Give it another week and then if you still don't see any weight loss then you can try eating back your exercise calories or adding calories or switching up the foods you are eating. Also take measurements. And be prepared to see another "stall" in the future- it is all part of the journey!

What she said. It shakes loose eventually.

How long have you been at it and how much have you lost? It's normal during a diet to plateau and not lose. That happens more and more as you get close to your ideal weight. It can happen for several reasons. One, your body needs to pause and reset itself and recalculate how to deal with food. It's like you body literally goes, "Oh, I only weigh this much now! Hmmmm" Another reason is that your intense workouts are building muscle at the same rate you're burning fat. So no change on the scale. But very positive changes inside you.

Try to find other ways to measure progress besides the scale. That's only one tool. Are your clothes fitting differently? Do you look different to yourself?

My gf has struggled for months recently and only moved a few pounds. But she's going through clothing sizes rapidly. Similar to you, she works out pretty feverishly and is good with her food numbers. From my own experience, as I approached my goal weight I hit a plateau that literally lasted three months. Always under on calories, always working out hard and regularly. No changes. But, then suddenly, I dropped 8 pounds over about two and a half weeks. Nailed the goal and exceeded it. I'm on a "refinement" goal now and it's taking just as long.

Main thing is don't get discouraged. If you start to feel like you're losing it, just tell yourself it's simple math. I'm under on calories and working out this much. There is no mathematical way, or any other way, for your body to gain or stay stagnant forever. Know that it's just a period of readjustment or healthy rebuilding. Also remember, the weight came on over time. And it will take as long as it takes to go away. Sometimes I think the stalls are my body being stubborn and saying, "why'd you let me get like that in the first place man?"

Never quit. You can do it. Never quit. I wish you all the best.

How's your diet? Make sure you're getting enough fruits, and especially veggies in EVERY day. EVERY meal! You're rockin' the exercise, tweek the food...
