Frustrated

[aayers88 31]

Ok, so I started Insanity and Jillian Michaels: Body Revolution and switch between the 2 throughout the week... I'm kind of frustrated cause I've been really working out the last 2 months and I've been plateaued for the last month. Does anyone else had this happen. It's frustrating me. I also kicked up my Protein intake to 70+g a day...

A scale is not the only tool to measure your progress. In your case, it may not even be the best tool...

Are you taking body measurements? It's possible that you could be getting smaller without losing weight. It sounds like you are toning and maybe building muscle, which is more dense and heavier than fat. You could be losing fat and gaining muscle. If you go to a gym see if someone can measure your body fat for you. There is a tool they use combined with a simple formula to calculate the body fat percentage (or go online and buy your own body fat calipers and learn how to calculate body fat percentage yourself). Keep checking every two weeks. This will show your progress in a measurable way. :-)

I've been measuring myself every month. I lost 4-5 inches in my hips over the last couple of months. It would be interesting to measure my body fat though.
