Chronic tonsillitis when i was obese, not had it for over a year now. Used to get heartburn daily, can't remember the last time I did. PCOS symptoms drastically reduced!

https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10743353/the-last-few-pounds-what-gives#latest i had the exact same problem... Sitting at 165, goal weight 161. Read the replies to my thread, people gave some really useful advice around pages 3-4. hope it helps you as much as it helped me! :)

Wow, thanks so much everyone. @PAV8888 especially what a great and informed answer! I know what i need to do now, so thankyou all very much, it's all new to me and you all have reassured and guided me. :*

@NovusDies I'm not sure... that is interesting though, I may have to do some research! Thanks for all your help, I will keep on keeping on!

@dmt4641 My lifting Is going well, this was a few days ago, I already have good lower body strength from horse riding and doing barn chores day in day out (pushing wheelbarrows carrying heavy buckets etc) but I put my own program together (don’t shoot me) with an upper lower body split, I’m enjoying it though so far!

@dmt4641 I have done average weekly calories all the way through my weight loss, it would be a bummer to have to change my routine now but I'm willing to give anything a go! I will try to net 1700 daily rather than Weekly and see what that does to my next friday weigh in, Thankyou :smile:

@NovusDies I started around week 64/65, i had a scale spike (doms) but didn't log as i knew it was my muscles repairing, I was back down to 165 after a week or 2 and sat there ever since. And unfortunately not, I don't have a period due to the type of birth control pill that I'm on (but that's normal/good for someone with…

I even tested the accuracy getting on/off holding a few of my weight plates and they were bob-on!

@quiksylver296 Yeah I did as thought this may be the reason, By Friday i am always 165. give or take 0.1 or 0.2 lb

@NovusDies I am a data geek, that is all of my weigh-ins, Feb end weight 170 March end weight was 166.

@NovusDies I started out all wrong, was losing 3lb per week on 1200 cals for 10 weeks, my RoL was set at 2lb per week until Xmas 2018, then down to 1.5lb per week in Jan, and 1lb per week in Feb to now, However end of April was when i just ground to a halt. No nothing has changed, If it's not my metabolism.. I really dont…

Thankyou @cheryldumais I am 5 foot 8 though so I can't imagine my maintenance cals are 1700, unless my metabolism has adapted due to so long in a deficit? Who knows. @NovusDies I had 1 when i went on holiday to Egypt (SEP 2018) and one at Christmas 2018 ( both over a week long) and a 5 day break at easter.. other than that…

@panini911 I don't think so, I weigh and log everything, always have done through my weight loss. It worked well for the first 95lbs / 63 Weeks. I had 2 Weeks no loss (after losing 1lb per week consistently) So started lifting and 8.5 weeks later still no loss x

@panini911 Congrats on the loss by the way !! Amazing

@Panini911 I was hoping the same would happen to me! I have been in a deficit for 71 weeks (with 2/3 diet breaks) and lost 95lbs. I have 3lb until goal weight but I am sick of sitting at this weight.. I was thinking maybe as i've been in a deficit for so many weeks, my metabolism has adapted, maybe time for a reverse diet…

8.5 weeks, no Loss. Cals still averaging at 1700 net/day for the week. Thinking of trying a reverse diet, any experiences or tips anyone??

@shaf238

Thankyou, wouldn’t reducing my rate of loss increase my calories? Or am I being dumb??

@shaf238 Yes I'm on 1700 net, set at losing 1lb per week on lightly active. I may have to cut cals. I don't think I can be anymore active, I work 45 hour week, strength train 3-4 times a week, own 2 horses and a dog which all need to be looked after and exercised, I dont know what more I can do haha! I was losing…

Weigh-In today. Week 5 with no loss :(

Day 474 since i Startled, lost my streak when i went to Egypt :s

I just posted about something similar, https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10743353/the-last-few-pounds-what-gives/p1 Check the replies on my thread see if they help you x

I think my liver is good, fingers crossed o:)

Thankyou @pierinifitness :)

I try not to eat my exercise calories back as i know they are way over estimated on here.

This is my net calories for past 30 days, i try to average weekly but am always under (usually) except my 5 day break at easter

Thankyou everyone, in regards to my protein, it does help with my PCOS symptoms and I am generally not a big carb-lover anyway. In regards to my calories i have MFP set to lose at 1lb per week, and my 1700 calories is net calories, I'm confused with this as other people on MFP have told me to reduce to 0.5lb per week which…

Edit: my body fat percentage has stayed the same at 27% the whole time too (measured on home scale and on supermarket health machine) not sure if this has any impact

@shaf238 Thankyou, so upto around 5-6 weeks I could still be retaining water from my muscles repairing etc?

Anyone??
