Sara... dont let it through you mentally... this is the time that the general population steps off the bus and gives it up. There will be many plateaus along the way... it is part of your body telling you it is ready for a step up. Stick with it... it will pay off. In 6 months people will ask you how you did it and you can just smile and say "I stuck with it!"
Sorry... that should read "Dont let it throw you..."
Hi Sara- It sounds like you may have reached a plateau in your weight loss. But all is not lost as this is very common. It just means you are ready for the next level (the good news). I am going to boost your walks to 45-50 minutes four days per week and include two Curves workouts. As your body adapts and gets more fit, you will need more exercise in the form of time or intensity to reach results. Another way we can boost your metabolism is to once or twice per week walk twice instead of once. This elevates your metabolism more frequently and aids in getting over the plateau.
I would recommend to continue to track and log your foods this week as sometimes 4-6 weeks into your new regimen things can sneak back into your diet:)
So get ready to rumble. We're taking up a notch and you are ready for it!
