I tweeked a lot of things but one of the major ones was adding back my protein. When I stalled I started to think about how my body had changed from the 20 pound loss and increased level of exercise. it was time to recalculate my macro's. Protein was the one thing way too low. so now less fat more protein. and more calories/protein on my workout days. got to feed the work. I range from 70 grams to 90

it is unfortunate that my exercise bike work is curtained. the physical therapist ordered every other day. every time I get on it my toes and calf muscles severely cramp up as I do it or right after I get off... undoing his work. My calf muscles in both legs shortened up years ago and are pulling my entire body out of wack. Each week he is adding more area's to stretch. So I have several area's to work on but more focus down there.

thanks Kimberlie, it has taken all week to lose all that water weight and get a loss, but I really think things will work out.

Maybe you are getting cramps because you are dehydrated? Or maybe overdoing it. Just a thought. Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals too? A lot of people put cramps down to lack of magnesium. I think salts in general is more the thing but i accept that your bodies disability or whatever has probably something to do with it too but its might just be worthwhile considering all these other things and making sure they are optimum.

I find that if I do not quit the plateau is always broken. Sometimes it takes a month.

thanks everyone it has been an interesting journey. Pattience nice thought but as I explained above my muscles shortened years ago and this is an ongoing issue left untreated for over a decade. My doctors when I originally told of my ripped tendon had no helpful answers for me. I have food sensitivities, which give me a multitude of issues, some are knots all over in my muscles. I also have Fibromyalgia, for me this is caused by these food sensitivities. My awesome doctor that was a specialist in this field moved out of the county one day and I never found anyone as knowledgeable since.

oh when you get cramps each time you exercise if you don't catch it before it happens with stretching yes it definitely impacts my workouts. the neck and back pains if I am careful and only do things that totally support my back does ease up considerably with resistance work. The multiple times a day of stretching different parts of my body is a huge help. It will take weeks to get past some of this. I have forgotten a lot of the stretching exercises that I was taught a couple decades ago, but with the physical therapist he is slowly adding more as I go. but I do remember a couple HA!
