No results after 3wks of RI30!

I am beyond frustrated. I succesfully completed the 30DS back in January and lost 5.5" and 8lbs when all was said and done. Then my husband got sick twice and landed himself in teh hospital in February and March so needless to say it was hard to find motivation to start again with all the stress.

Either way, I kept counting calories and the lbs were coming off.

I started RI30 3 wks ago, watching what I ate as usual but not tracking AND I started juiicing one of my meals, typically breakfast. Super good juice, and it revamped my energy levels.

However, I've been stuck or fluctuating around the same weight 165...up and down a lb or two, but still there. I measured myself at the beginning of RI30 and when I compare, the numbers are the same, weight is the same and I notice no visible changes. I know my arms are stronger as are my quads, but everything else is the same. I find that the shred did more for me despite the fact I love Ripped better.

What can I do to up my weightloss again and break this "plateu"? Could it be the morning juice???

I'm 5lbs short of my first goal and 10 from my second goal for July 11th.

Help!

    Maybe start tracking your food again for a week, just to make sure all your numbers are good? And are you doing just RI30, or other exercises as well?

    I found that after 30 Day Shred, things did slow down and I needed and wanted more - more challenges, longer workouts, and mixed things up a bit. Do you have any other workout DVDs? I started (and still do) mix up my workouts during the week, such as RI30 MWF, and a longer workout, such as Banish Fat Boost Metabolism on T Th. If you've gotten stronger, you might also try upping your weights, get some heavier dumbbells.

    Plateaus are so frustrating, I know! Hope you find a way to break through it! Congrats on your success with 30DS, and for getting back to it with RI30.

    I plan to start tracking again tomorrow and hopefully that'll yield the results I want.

    I only do the one workout in the day.,.I'm a stay at home mom of 2 girls, so it gets hectic and frustrating to workout with them here and then I'm too tired by the time the hubs gets home from work. I live in the city so I do walk everywhere.

    I'll see if I can up my weights by a bit...I suffer from muscle spasms after a car accident years ago and I get nervous about overdoing it and getting hurt. I"m only doing 4lbs now! LOL...I know it's a little bit, but like I said, I fear the pain that'll come for a week and how it'll interfere with my daily activities.

    I'll see if I can get my hands on that other DVD. I also want to try the thighs and buns workout....

    Lots of "I's" LOL sorry about that

    Try looking at your juice. I know juicing is super good for you but also adds up in the calories because it takes so much to get the desired amount. If your juicing a lot of veggies its ok but the fruit is what you need to watch

    I do juice more fruits than veggies...my average juice is 1 1/2 apples, 3 carrot sticks, 1/2 cucumber, lemon, ginger and then I blend in 1/2 - 1 banana, papaya if I have and 1 cup of spinach.
