[quote=Anonymous]I am 45, 5'4" and my happy weight is 125-128. I was "brakes off" for the last few months of the year due to a collision course of stress factors, although I worked out the whole time, and when I weighed myself right after Christmas I was 132. Fine, annoying but fixable. THEN I weighed myself on Jan 2.

OMG. I was 141. I have no earthly idea how I gained 9 LBS IN 10 DAYS ?!! - I really didn't particularly go to town that last week or anything! So I put myself on macro-tracking, low-carb / high-protein 1200 calories a day and was really pleased when 5  lbs literally ripped off in a week. I do think part of it was my period. However, since then, I am STUCK at 136. I am working out six days a week (rotating bike, weights, and barre) and sticking meticulously to my tracking. My only downfall is I really struggle to hit 40% protein, it's usually closer to 30.

I am so frustrated! I realize that in the scheme of things two weeks with no movement is probably not the end of the world, but I've never had this happen before. Usually if I go all in as described above, I can count on losing at least a pound a week - but I literally have been 136.xx every day.

Short of developing a bad cocaine habit or mugging someone for their Wegovy, any suggestions on breaking through? [/quote]
