For reference, I don't weigh myself due to anorexia in the past. I get incredibly obsessive around numbers on the scale, but not measurements so that's how I'm keeping track of my weight loss.
Starting measurements (inches): Bust 42.4 - Waist 32 - Stomach 39.7 - Hips 43
Current measurements (inches): B 41 - W 29.1 - S 30.4 - H 42.6
My goal is a 25 or 26in waist since that's when had the most energy.
However, since week 4, my waist has consistently been around 29in. I can feel that there is fat there which isn't coming off. My stomach measurement is going down an average of 1.5in a week, but for the past 3 measurements I've been 29 to 29.3in on my waist whereas previously I was going down around 0.5in a week.
Is there something I'm doing wrong? I'm trying so hard to lose weight in a healthy way (only measuring once a week, never going under 1200kcal, keeping a busy schedule so I don't over obsess about my diet, etc.) but my waist has plateaued. I feel like it's one of 2 things:
a) Weight is coming off my stomach first and will catch up soon, so nothing needs to change and I should relax
b) I need to increase exercise to create a larger calorie deficit to kick start my waist again
This is my first time losing weight in a healthy way, so I have no idea which one it is. Should I increase exercise or is this a normal part of losing weight?
