Hi everyone! Gosh, this is going to be a slightly long post. Keep scrolling if you don't want to share any tips. I'll be ok. 😂 I feel so overwhelmed right now with work and my daily life. I've always been sedentary and enjoyed watching TV on the couch after work with my husband, who could also stand to my lose a few pounds but I digress, and now that I'm more active, (i.e., training for my first 5K run and started working again at the elementary school where I am a Paraprofessional) I hit a plateau in my weight loss. Oh yeah, I'm post menopausal, so that's already working against me. I can't seem to hit my fasting goals either. Does anyone have a tried and true method to jump start my metabolism again? Maybe it really is the dairy??? If anyone has heard a podcast about this, please steer me in that direction. Thanks in advance.

I will say cutting the dairy has helped me. I'd have to find the link but I think Dr. chaffee talks about this too. Sometimes you have to go stricter to get the results and then add back in. I know since I cut out dairy I've dropped weight faster and this has been true for many others.

Let me tell you, I've run into the same issue. When I gave run into it in the past, for me, it was sleep related. When I wasn't getting enough recovery time my body just...said ok, we'll stop here. Just a thought. Hope you are well!

Thank you for the replies. Nice to know I'm not alone in this journey! Have a great weekend! My family and I are on the road to visit some family for a cousin's celebration of life, so I had a protein bowl this morning at Waffle House. Going to test my B's in a few.
