Hi guys, I have been reading this board for a long time now, maybe 4 months. Up until now I never really needed to ask any questions because you all answer them pretty well as well as my roomie. Since i have come around here for a while i have read pretty much everything you guys have written so here are my stats, here is my problem.
-5'7
-137 pounds
-22% BF
-28 yrs
-Female
My diet is clean. I get 6 meals a day. Protein/Carb with every meal. Good fats. I get within my range of calories to lose weight. Never go under in calories. I do cardio 5 or 6 days a week. Different types. I do weight training 3 times a week. I work in a car dealership inside the office alot but try to move when I get a chance. I have been working out now for about 4 months. The first week I lost 2 pounds. After that i lost about 3 pounds in 3 weeks. Since then i haven't lost any fat. I have changed up my routines, made sure my diet was clean and made sure i was getting the right stuff at the right times. I took a break, I increased my level of training. Increased calories. Basically I have tried everything i have seen mentioned on these boards and in other places to break through a fat loss plateau and its just not working. I have gained a little muscle but nothing great obviously because I am in a deficit. I love working out and will continue to so it regardless of if i lose more body fat or not. However i just would like for once in my life to get into a bathing suit or just see the reward of good healthy hard work.
Could it be any medical issue, isn't this a pretty long plateau? I would really love some advice, I really want to achieve a low body fat but in a healthy way. I just think 3 months with doing everything "right" but not seeing any change is strange.
