Weight Loss	Plateau - pulling my hair out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1	May 22 2011 23:11 (UTC)	2
Just an update, this is the end of my week off aaaaaaaaaaand the scale finally moved!!!!!!!!!!!! I dropped 2.4lbs. Thank goodness! Listening to my body did the trick! Now I'm ready to get back at it but I'm gonna change it up a little bit so my body doesn't suffer again. Soooooooooooo happy.

I haven't been to the gym since Monday mainly due to my allergies/sinus infection and partially because I was wondering if I might be overtraining because I am constantly sore. I am back down to my lowest weight but still haven't hit 25lbs. down. haha Still, I've been losing every day I've not gone. Maybe my body was telling me I was working too hard???

Another week down (official week weigh in day) and still the same weight. I've noticed that I didn't plateau until my allergies got really bad. And when I mean really bad I mean everyone telling me I sound horrible, not being able to breathe, sleep, stuffed nose, watery eyes, congestion like whoa, sneezy. All hours of the day with no relief, with no meds helping. I WONDER if that has anything to do with it. Even with my allergies I've kept my routine the same, eating right/exercising 5 days/wk. This might be turning into a sinus infection if it hasn't already. sigh What do you guys think? On a happier note, one of my coworkers said if I lost any more weight I'd need new clothes, I got the pleasure of telling her these were pants SMALLer than where I started from, meaning I'm almost down to a third pant size! That made my day.

Yeah, I generally take two days off a week to give my body rest. I am trying to switch up my strength training routine to see if I can shock my body a little bit, typically I do three days upper body on the machines then two day legs on the machines but now that I am using free weights I want to break it up by muscle group. What are your recommendations? I did abs today, I can do arms/shoulders, legs, back, .....what else???

I do the elliptical machine, that is my jam. lol I make sure my heartrate gets up, that I sweat, that I can't talk well. I cool off then I do weights. I don't eat lots of processed food. I do have one cheat day a week but it's not a crazy free for all day, it's just one meal and usually I only eat a little of it before I get full. I am definitely a lot stronger than I used to be but I'd be hard pressed to believe that my muscle weighs more causing a halt in weight loss. I'm gonna switch up my cardio machine and try free weights for the next couple weeks to see if I can kick start something again. This has got to quit already! I wouldnt be able to handle 6 months of it!!

Hey everyone! Thanks for the responses. I started beginning of feb and I am down 24lbs. I am stuck at 24lbs. It's so frustrating because those first 24lbs. flew off and now I am stuck. I've been packing my lunch err... dinner lol. Which helps a lot. If anything I may not be eating enough but I don't think that explains why the scale isn't moving. Gosh it wasn't this hard to lose the weight a couple yrs ago when I lost 50lbs in 6 months. Sigh. I'm on the last week of month four and stuck at 24lbs! grrr! I am sore! I did free weights on Saturday with a walk with the dogs and I am still sore from it! But I usually do 30mins of elliptical then 30mins of machine weight strength training. I'm ready for the scale to head downward! Granted, my pants are falling off and clothes are fitting better. I just want the scale to meet up with everything else! I'm thinking there is no way my body is perfectly balancing the amount of muscle I've put on with the fat I've lost to keep my weight the same for the last month! grrrr!

Great post dancerqueen. We are more than a number. And the goal to work for is that you are healthy and I'll tell you what, you KNOW when you feel healthy or not, your body gives you all the signs. Even though I'm still up 70lbs from where I want to be I FEEL amazing. The best I have felt in yrs. I'm not going to give that up.

I needed this! I've been around the same weight for the last three or four weeks and I want to kick my scale! Yet the smaller pants I just bought are falling off like my size up ones did, I can go another notch in my belt that nearly didn't fit a few weeks ago, and old clothes I have that are a size smaller than what I am now are starting to fit better every day! I measure inches once per month, last month I lost 7" (something was wrong with my shoulder measurement lol, said I gained 4", NO . WAY!) and I'm excited to see where I am at next measurement!
