What can I do to kick start my weight loss?

I have previously done WW (pre kids and after both my kids) and it worked. The last time, I got stuck and nothing moved for months. So I moved to calorie counting. And nothing moved. And Covid hit, so I put on a stone.

I have a PT who I see twice a week, and go to the gym at least another two times. A mixture of strength and cardio. I’ve been going for about 6 months, and getting stronger as I lift heavier weights. Calorie counting. And still, the scales are budging. And I am not changing shape in any way. It’s like my body has got stuck. Two dog walks a day, not going mad at the weekends. Gym. PT. Nothing is making me lose weight.

I have 2 days at the weekend where I ease off. But it’s normal oats for breakfast, a light lunch and maybe a pizza for dinner with some prosecco. So nothing crazy.

Is there anything I’m missing here? How do I wake my body up into action?

There’s a new low carb boot amp starting in a week or two. It’s a really friendly, supportive group. I did it this time last year and lost a stone and half in 10 weeks. The first week or two were a bit of an adjustment but after that I honestly really loved the food I could eat, didn’t feel deprived at all. Have not followed it strictly over the last year, but haven’t strayed too far off. Put about 5 lbs on but started again last week and have already lost 3 of those. It’s worth a punt. Especially if you love good food!
