Ht. 5'8", Start: 225 lb, Today: 170 lb (BMI %tile: 83), Goal: 145 lb - i'm at a loss for words. i'm getting really over this. no matter what i do. i cant GET OFF THIS PLATEAU! ive been this weight since JUNE. i got down to 167 but i was BARELY eating this summer, then when i ate normal i blew up like a blow fish. ive lost 55 pounds already like as if i cant lose at least another 10. what am i doing wrong i count calories i eat healthy most of the time, and when i dont i include it in my calories. i exercise more than i used to and NOTHING. why do i even bother anymore like am i meant to be this weight or what. ugh sorry for the rant but im so tired of seeing the scale go up or stay the same.

We've all been there. Maybe thats what your body weight it supposed to be. That tends to be the reason for a plateau in weight loss. Or if you do the same workout all the time it could be because your body is already in shape in all the areas your training, and you need to move on to different areas. Then again it could be because your not ajusting your calories to your weight loss, for every pound lost you need to cut out 10 calories( but dont quote me on that, Im not sure) Ther are so many reasons, I would just start ajusting things until you start losing weight again. You can do it!
