Plateau for a month: suggestions?
To disable ads, please log-in.
For a year or so, I did nothing but split a little wood and mow my lawn. Then, 3 months ago, I started strength training with a trainer and doing basic cardio (with some intensity) on the machines, with a little riding. I lost about 16 pounds in the first 2.5 months. Feeling good, doing well.
For the past month, I have not lost any weight. I still strength train 3xWeek, getting stronger. Still doing about the same cardio, with intensity. Still writing down everything I eat, counting calories, fat, carbs and protein grams. Doing pretty well with eating, I think.
Have only done the "impulse" body fat test, but it tells me my body fat is increasing, which I do not buy, because I am thinner, AND I can see and feel more muscles on my body than when I started. I am stronger.
Suggestions for busting through this plateau? I have about 20-25 more pounds to lose. THanks for any help. (I searched "plateau" but couldn't find a dedicated thread?)
