So it’s time to change your routine - you’re plateauing which is common when you follow the same routine for long, your body just gets used to the workouts and diet and becomes efficient at the workouts. Try out something new and changing up your diet

your body is insanely good at adapting to what you’re giving it, which is unfortunately not helpful to people trying to change they’re body. for example, cardio is actually less effective when your in a calorie deficit because your body will burn less calories if it knows you’re intaking less. and if you’re in the same calorie deficit for too long, your body will learn how to use that amount of calories for maintenance almost. it sucks and slows down progress

Like in terms of category there is normal weight, then overweight, then obese class 1, 2, and 3. I’m overweight. I’m 140lbs, as a 4 11 woman, I wanna be 100-115 cuz I don’t wanna get obese ever again

I started plateauing some last year and did a slow cal increase back up to my maintenance and once I was back up to normal I did that for about 4 weeks before going back to cutting and it helped quite a bit. All together took ab 5/6 weeks beofre I cut again- didnt gain anything back and it was a decent enough reset that my deficit worked again. Like someone else said your body just becomes used to what you’re giving it and what you’re doing

Please don’t pay too much attention to bmi calculations- the number on the scale is not everything and depending on how muscular you are that could be very misleading/ I’ve never looked or felt healthier in my life and it’s the first time I’ve paid more attention to how my body looks/feels vs what the scale says

you might need to if you're 4'11". if you aren't dropping any more weight that means you're not in a calorie deficit anymore because you lost weight and your body needs fewer calories. calorie tracking is not an exact science. just increase your deficit and keep an eye out for signs of malnutrition. if it affects your sleep or mental capacity you know you need to eat more. you already lost weight through a deficit so you know what it feels like to be in a deficit but not starving.
