Thank you for reading. I have not lost any weight for over a month. It's very discouraging. I count calories in Lose It. I aim to eat about 35% protein each day. My calories are set at 1300. I am strict and never go over. I currently weigh 157. My short term goal is 140, my long term goal is 130. I have a Fitbit and I weigh myself on the Aria scale. I don't eat after 8pm at night. No soda, no candy. Barely any processed food. Really eating simple and clean right now.
I started trying to lose weight again on February 1. I was 165. I got down to 156 on March 19 and then everything just stopped. The weight started going up again. I started doing Beachbody workouts. I did the 7 day Clean Week and now I am on Day 8 of 21 Day Fix. After my workout, I usually go on the treadmill for a brisk 40 minute walk to get some good steps in since I am now working from home and not getting in as many steps during the day as if I were at work.
One positive: I do feel stronger! And that is really nice. But the scale doesn't reflect any loss. My clothes are all fitting. Exactly. The. Same. I don't know what to do anymore. I am working harder than I ever have at exercise and weight loss and I can't get back down to that 156 and keep losing. At this point I'm starting to get worried something is actually wrong inside my body or something. I know that's silly, but I don't know what else to consider almost.
I know muscle weighs more than fat and I am building muscle by working out, but if I was gaining muscle and losing fat, shouldn't my clothes fit differently at least? I used to weigh less and have a whole set of clothes a size down that I can't even struggle into. My body fat doesn't really trend down on the Aria scale, either. It goes up for a few days and thrn down for one, but then back up so the overall trend is stagnant or slight increases. I don't understand.
Two years ago I started at 180 and got down to 150. I did this without formal exercising, even! It was just counting calories and half hour treadmill walks. It was work, but I always saw great results. Now this time around ... nothing is happening. I know you have to look at weight as a trend, but my Lose It weight graph just goes up with minimal dips. The dips always go back up within the next day. The overall trend, again, is stagnant or small increases.
I'm not going to give up, but I am getting discouraged and anxious every single day there is no visual change on the scale or with my clothes. What else can I do? I apologize for the whinefest. I'm lost.
