How to get out of a plateau…

Hi all,

I’ve been looking to loose weight and properly tracking calories and my weight since May.

May 8th- June 17th I lost 3kg which I was happy at this rate. However, in the almost month since then I have not lost at all. I weigh myself at my gym, so that days and times differ but I do always before the workout, and I think the slight inconsistency means I don’t worry too much about exact numbers and can just look at the overall.

I am 5”3, currently sitting at 68.5kg. I go to the gym 3 times a week minimum, sometimes 4 and walk for 45 mins minimum on my days off, but I do work an office job so I’m sat all day. I’m eating 1,200-1,500 a day, averaging probably 1,300.

At the gym I stairmaster at level 7 for 30 mins pretty much every single time, if I’m feeling off I’ll do level 6 or 20 mins etc. I then do weighted exercises, two lower body days with one upper, about 45 mins of strength training.

Why have I stopped losing weight? I don’t eat enough protein (i’m working on this- vegetarian so slightly harder) to believe it’s due to muscle gain at the same rate I’m losing weight…
