I've come to the conclusion that my body must be plateauing. I started January weighing 203 pounds and I am ending the month weighting 202 pounds, which makes me really frustrated. Not because "omg, I have to lose the weight NOW!" but because I really want to see the 199 mark. It's been looming and I've been so excited to hit it, and then *wham* emergency brake.
So, this week and next I am going to go on maintenance calories (2000 calories!) and hope that my body will jump start again after that. I've been really hesitant to eat that much because like almost everyone else who decides to lose weight, I'm worried about gaining weight back. I'm fairly confident, however, that the amount of calories is correct so there really shouldn't be any gains. I just wish I had known this was a plateau a bit sooner because I could have started this maintenance phase earlier! Anyway, here's hoping February 12 is a great weigh-in and that the numbers go down for good!
