Yea --- ok this is why we have to send GG to the Are you new to EF Ladies Board - START HERE sticky.... Its all slowly coming out....
We need:
1) Your stats - height, wt, bodyfat
2) your current diet - put it in fitday.com.
3) your current training & cardio.
I'm big on this whole bodyfat set weight thing - I don't know the mechanics behind it - but in my life - if I take an "average" of my lifestyle over the last say 10 yrs -- my body has a weight it likes to settle at based on what it sees as "my lifestyle" -- 10 yrs ago it was probably 150. By 2000, I guess you'd have to add in about 5 lb for my boob job-- I was 155 & 16% bodyfat when I started prep for my first show. I'd done one of those "no carb" diets -- I was exploring some personal boundaries when I did it - but at the end fo the day I lost a lot of muscle -- I was great on top. but my legs were nice & squishy. Over the last 5 yrs, I've added a crapload of mass related to competition and now I tend to settle around 162. And I can do that w/ a range of bodyfat. BUT the one thing that makes a difference as far as actually budging my weight is cardio. The diet & training right now are solid. Cardio is sporadic. But that is also the one part of my regimen that is always sporadic. So I'd almost say that my body has adapted to the diet & training -- but the cardio is the one big thing I can throw it and to kick start major difference.
So now whatever you've been doing but can't seem to make the weight number change - I'm going to guess that you've done small changes but nothing major. I'm definitely going to say that your diet is the first place to optimize, but it may be one big fat change that you need to make to really get things moving.
