Hello,
I am a 25 5'0" F. Last year I got serious about losing weight as I had hit 165lbs and was not happy at all. So I spent the year trying to get healthy. I started going to the gym and went consistently from January to March until COVID hit and it shut down. From March to June I took a break but luckily didn't gain any weight back. Not being able to go to the gym was hard and I didn't know what else to do as it was not warm enough to run outside and I am not a big fan of workout videos. Once June hit I was able to run outside and got back on track. I have lost 36 pounds and currently weigh 129lbs. I am extremely happy with my weight loss but I am not where I want to be. Since January 2021 I have only lost 6 pounds. I feel like my weight loss has plateaued so heavily and it's frustrating. I have been back in the gym since January so I was able to swim some but swimming tends to be an easier workout for me because I was a competitive swimmer. So I switched to running and strength training, focusing a little more on running to help shed the extra weight. My goal weight was originally 125 lbs as that would be a healthy BMI for me but now that I'm close I was thinking maybe 120 or 115 would be more where I want to be. But I can't lose any more weight. I have been stuck around 129-130 for months. I've tried a bunch of different things that are supposed to help break a plateau but none have worked. I'm starting to wonder if this is my body's way of telling me it's done losing weight? I still have a little pocket of fat on my abdomen that I'm not happy with which is why I want to continue to lose but I cant budge the number on the scale at all. I'm starting to consider just moving into maintenance and focusing on toning my muscles and getting stronger. Any advice is appreciated.
