Greetings, my Best Buddies! O.M.G - the Idiot Box is absolutely the same! How the hell is this even possible? I believe I am eating in a caloric deficit, drinking my water and exercising well. Can you say FRUSTRATED? Fathead recipe includes lots of dairy which may just blow me up - I hardly ever eat dairy except for Kerrygold butter in my BPC. #FeelingFat Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle - Tom Venuto Short Range Goals: * Macros 60%-70% fat, 20-30% protein, 10-15% carbs - better under 10%! * Back in the "Blue" on Idiot Boxes while retaining muscle - June? * Schedule a bodyfat % reading with trainer for May? * Drink at least 12 - 14 cups of fresh water daily - especially on gym days * Continue HIIT mixed in with weight lifting four to five days * Keep up the training notebook to achieve progressive overload Long Range Goals: 2017 *Bodyfat at 20% (Current 24.5%) by year end 2017 *Maintain Idiot Boxes around 152-158lbs staying under goal weight *Increased strength, endurance and flexibility during workouts NEW Words of the Week:“Temptation is not to be feared, but controlled.” I am dedicated, determined and diligent!

Maybe you still have some swelling in your foot which might cause fluid gain hang in there.

Fathead pizza could contain a lot of sodium, depending on what you used for toppings - could that be it?

Thank you, all of my Buddies. I have to go back to the drawing board and figure it out - sometimes it seems too few calories stall, but I looked at that already. I probably need to cut.
|
Also - probably need to really watch my carbs even more closely this week.

I recently switched to OKL macros, which is higher (not high) protein, lower (not low) fat, and low carb. We've both been on here a long time and sometimes we need to "switch" things up. I've been on for a week and feel really good. I am hopefully stopping the muscle loss that has been occurring and since working with the trainer, getting rid of fat. I am NOT going to weigh until April, which will be 3 months with the trainer. I am using the fit of my clothes to gauge progress. After a week my jeans are a little looser....

Agree with Topher, keep at it -- Ur body doesn't want to lose more weight, but it is.

Sorry for your frustration. Really! Another thing that might help just a little is a reminder on how diligently you are working on all of your other body systems...heart, blood, skeletal ... your doing everything right to stay in the best health possible. Sometimes our weight is like a stubborn stain, the rest of the house is clean but we are so focused on that----spot... we have a hard time seeing the sparkling clean windows!!! Not that my windows are clean...metaphorically or any other way ;)

I get really frustrated too. I know the scale lies and we all need to see the needle go down as a reward for our efforts. You will have a nice big drop soon.

Just finished reading everyone's responses and I think they have pretty much hit the nail on the head....it is just a combination of things...everyone is right and you, my dear, certainly deserve the reward of seeing the scales go down....a big drop will come! I just know it....

Hang in there buddy! You are dogged and you will tame that idiot box. Our bodies just want to take a break sometimes from losing and hang on to what they've got. I'm on a plateau too. We can turn it around. Spring is coming!

Thank you, my Best Buddies, for the encouragement.

Get a Dexa body scan done in your area ($75 avg). Don't bother getting on the scale and track your body thru fat percentage and lean body mass. When I'm adding muscle and shedding fat the scale never moves and can be self defeating. A simple tape measure and pictograph history is far more accurate than a scale. It's visual confirmation of your progress.

@ killer keto: yes, I am all about bodyfat% if you look at my goals. I have a trainer who measures me consistently with calipers - I can feel and see the weight gain is more fat than LBM. I had foot surgery which made cardio difficult so I spent a lot of time lifting weight - but also ate too many calories in January!

My "idiot box" stays the same for days and days, even though I eat anywhere from 600-1200 calories below what I burn. It's just who I am, and I accept it. As long as I weigh less a year from now than I do today, I have to be satisfied. No other way to deal with it. Good luck.
