I hear ya, my progress has been slow to non-existent some days lately it seems. It is frustrating to me as well. I am researching, experimenting, and trying to reset somethings to shock my system back to progression. Either increase eating for 1 to 2 weeks (but don't gorge yourself, still use portion control or lower eating for the 1 to 2 weeks, then adjust exercise levels as well--- if your exercising each day, lower it to just a few for a week or two to see what happens. If it works and the plateau breaks then go back gradually to what your used to doing. But again do it gradually. Wish you luck, let me know if your have a breakthrough.  

It is so hard to get motivated when I hit a wall. I am in need of a change. Thanks for the tip! 

Slow progress is better than no progress at all, don't get discouraged. 

Me too ... i feel the same way 

If u are sticking to your routines and food plan, do not worry, I'd say. Women's (assuming gender here) bodies are fluctuating - even if I want the graph to show a slow and steady downhill, during the month I usually seem t take two step forward and one back, rinse and repeat. Most of it is water weight due to where in the menstruation cycle.  

Thank you for all of your kind words. It helps to know that I am not alone on this journey. I just wish the scale would move. I've got to think positive and try to stay on track.  

Just keep at it. Think long term 

You'll get there. The plateau's are the hardest to get past for me. Stay strong. Try to change up your foods, calorie intake (either up or down by 200 - 300), and change your exercises. Do something different so that you don't get in a rut.  

Body recompositioning. 

I was the same lots of 0.1 and 0.2s but the last 2 weeks I’ve had bigger losses it’s very interesting what our bodies do. Keep up the good work you will soon see the drops  

Thank you all for the encouragement. I am definitly going to have to change something in my diet and do some different excercises. This morning I was up about a pound and a half. If the exercise diary estimate is close, I burned about 2500 calories today. That is a little more than I normally burn. I just hope that the scale will move by Monday. I would like to enter a lower weight than last week. Fingers crossed. 

If your body is in a recomposition phase, your fat will be burning off and muscle will be building. Doesn’t feel like it, but fat weighs less than muscle. Hormones also regulate fat and sometimes direct water retention. Could you use a tape measure and see if you’ve lost an inch or two? Then, even when weight is redistributed as body recomposition, you’d know you were still losing fat. The scale is not the only or best report of fat loss. Even when you are doing all you can, fat is sometimes resistant. Persevere!  

My hubby measured me about 6 months ago. I had him measure me again. I lost 14 1/2 inches since then! YAY! It helps to know that I am not dieting and working out for nothing. It was a great idea to measure again. Thanks! 

14.5” gone gone gone!!! Now, who feels amazing? 😉 You get on with your program and keep you chin up. I’m so happy 😃 you are happy. 🏳️ raising a lil flag for you.
