Are you actually getting enough to eat? It sounds like you have a good exercise program, which will increase your nutritional needs. Not getting enough to eat can really throw a wrench in things because it throws your body into survival mode, which means it will store as much fat as it can to prevent starvation.

Hi Girl don’t give up. Maybe all the exercise is building your muscles faster than you can loose weight. Have you measured yourself? Maybe you can see a difference in that.

Sorry to hear you are struggling I’d cut-out the berries. I’m doing the advanced plan to the extreme – no fruits of any kind, no grains of any kind, no root vegetables, no beans of any kind, no almond meal or anything other kind of meal. Just 75% green leafy veggies and 25% lean protein. I’ve had much success doing this for 16 weeks and running.
