After a year long, 85 pound weight loss I leveled out at 165 pounds (I'm 5'8") and haven't been able to lose anymore. I am getting way leaner than ever before, still losing inches as I gain lean muscle mass. I lift daily, with a little cardio thrown in occasionally (lift faster!)
So...has my body just gotten used to my current way of eating? Am I really putting on that much muscle mass? WTF?! I have not lost a pound in about two months and have actually gained 3-4 pounds depending on the day. I'm currently consuming about 1500-1800 calories a day, eating at least 150 grams of protein, less than 75 grams of carbs, drinking water, lots of greens, fish, chicken, etc. I eat NO wheat, oats or grains (well, black rice sometimes and rice cakes).
Any ideas or thoughts would be greatly appreciated! I still have body fat to lose and while I don't want to be a slave to the scale, after watching the number fall for a year, watching it climb while I still have fat to lose is really pissing me off! I know I need to add some ACTUAL cardio but there's more to it than that...help!
