two weeks of weight loss plateau. over at last!

[Direwind]

I have been on a weight loss plateau for the last two weeks, i finally beat it!

I lost 6lbs this week!

What i did:

Ate more kcals, from 900/1,000 to 1,200/1,400.

Changed up my exercise routine, added 35 mins cardio in the morning in addition to

3 hour 6 /10 mile hike evening, 35 min cardio night.

Moved my rest/cheat days to another day.

I hope i can manage 8lbs for next week! soon i will have that saggy belly flesh kilt i have always wanted.

Are you saying that the only change you made was increasing your calorie intake by 3-400 and putting in an additional 35 minutes of cardio?   Or you also added the 3 hour hike and another 35 minutes at night?

[Direwind]

I shifted up my routine because my body had gotten used to the old routine, I added morning cardiovascular of 35 minutes and ate more kcal, I did this because I assumed my metabolism was slowing to conserve energy due to limited food intake.

Good stuff.  Congrats and good luck moving forward!

Congrats @Direwind   I ran into the same problem and after talking to my doctor realized that my body was in starvation mode and not using the calories I was taking in!  I also increased the stength training in my workouts and decreased the cardio.  Interesting...
