Cheer up !!! You have done great so far!!! KEEP GOING!!

The body is complicated and designed to preserve body weight. It uses compensatory measures to hold on to what it has. One I have read is the fat cells replace the fat with water. Eventually they give up the weight and the volume. Perhaps that is what is going on. Others will have more ideas.

Otherwise, how do you feel?? More energy? Less brain fog? Better sleep? Those slone are worth continuing.

There are a few members here who can only drop 1-2 pounds over many months and are able to stick with the program, accepting the turtle pace. They are amazing.

You have added exercise, which is great!! Good timing ,too. AFTER body has adapted to new way of eating.

I can only say, stay the course, and try to be patient . Learn how to make this a forever diet that you can enjoy.
