Hello, I have been doing this diet on and off (mostly on) for about 14 months now. In the beginning I was losing 1 lb (about 0.5 kg) per week. I am 5’3″ and weighed 148 pounds (67 kg) when I started in October of 2013. After 8 weeks, I was down to 140 (63.5 kg). I thought I was good and would lose the rest on my own so I stopped fasting (Dec 2013-April 2014). I was able to maintain for a while then the weight crept back on. By April I was back up to 145 (65.8 kg) (my goal is 122 lb or 55.4 kg). So I began fasting again. I was doing alright until mid-July 2014. I was down to between 134-136 (60.8-61.7 kg). And then it stopped. For six full weeks. Not a single pound lost. I was (and currently still) walk 4-5 days per week for at least 30 minutes, and also lift weights and do other strength training 2-3 times per week.
I finally got down to 130 (59 kg) for my wedding on September 5. But since then, I have not lost a pound. I admittedly was a bit lax on my fasting for at least a few weeks after my wedding and even a bit into October but I was by no means eating what I was last year or even close. My diet has completely changed for the better. I’ve been very strict again for the last 6-7 weeks and just keep staying either the same or going up. I basically fluctuate between 129-132 (58.5-59.8 kg). I was thinking it might be like before where I was at a standstill for about 6-7 weeks but I’m here at that mark and still nothing. Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone have any advice for me?
