That's a lot of fat, and at 5'2" you're probably maintaining due to your Crossfit activity. Can you back off just the fat, may make it even or less than that of protein?

[palebluedots]

I think it would be more helpful if you posted some food logs so we have an idea of what kinds of foods you're mostly eating.

[WIChuck]

If you're getting a lot of exercise, especially weight work, don't look at the scale. Gauge your success visually or through measurements. It is possible to lose fat and gain muscle with no net weight loss while you look better and have better fitness.

That said, if you're doing crossfit, eating primally and not losing fat, you should look at your diet.

[Mrs.Reid]

Spacemanspiff, that sounds like a great idea But I don't know how to keep my calories up without all the fat ;/

Palebluedots, also a good idea

It's my belt that's moving ; )

The potatoes are rare and we're eating milk and cheese to help remineralize our teeth (Dr. Weston price)

Why the protein powder?

Thanks so much, guys!!

You could try smaller portions of the same foods. Eat just a little bit less than you have been and see if maybe your stomach doesn't really notice.

[Mrs.Reid]

Why the protein powder?

After a WOD so I can reach my protein levels. I know it's not the most ideal

[teach2183]

If weight loss is your goal, I would try to replace the protein powder with something else. Maybe a few hardboiled eggs? Your body will likely be able to use this better and it will keep you more full.

You mention your belt is moving, which does imply you're losing inches. Have you changed clothing sizes in this time period? When was the last time you took some time off from exercising or eating restrictively? Perhaps you just need a break? Often a week where you eat as much as you want (still primal foods), perhaps upping your carbs even, and a week off from exercising will let you relax a little more.
