A few questions: How long have you been consistently losing weight? How long have you been with a weight change? Usually to break a plateau a change has to happen. Have you tried eating at maintenance calories for a week ?

Planning is key! Depending on the type of vacation Im going on. I pack for working out and try to take walks around town, and also plan whatever meals I can. This last time I went away was for a BBQ fest, I knew that the evening would be lots of walking but also lots of fatty food with alcohol. So, I planned & tracked up…

Never mix a cleanse with extreme exercise.

Salt was culprit. I was doing lots of research when I first started to lose weight and lots of folks were how salt is bad bad bad. Well I went slightly extreme with the no salt, also not knowing I already had low blood pressure. So I was told to bring salt back into my diet and the headaches went away

You cant spot reduce, but you sound like you are going in the correct direction. HIIT and weights. Are you logging your food, consistently and honestly by weighing and portioning all foods. When I had gotten down to my smallest, was when I finally noticed my belly fat to shrink, I was about 10-15 lbs away from my goal…

Hi Brianna, Welcome and I'm glad you are on track to getting back on a healthy track. I always take a few weeks to figure out how track your calories honestly and consistently.

I find my fitbit very helpful with keeping myself aware with how active I have been through out the day or not. It also helps with tracking my resting HRM and sleeping ( I have the Blaze) . But I will say this, if you purchase from a Target, Walmart or Bestbuy, pick up the warranty. Fitbit customer service is awesome and…
