Whew, looks like you’ve got some challenges: premenopausal, hypothyroidism, etc. I’d say you should take a look at your diet, and think if there’s anything that is causing you to be bloated, get gassy, or block you up; digestion is one of the many things impacted by hypothyroidism. You’ll have to make sure you get enough fiber, without accidentally counteracting your thyroid meds. Also, if you take your thyroid meds in the morning, consider intermittent fasting so it had the maximum time to absorb into your system. Feel free to ignore or take this advice, your miles may vary, but as a someone else with hypothyroidism, it worked for me. Additionally, sometimes a plateau is something you just need to power through. If you are stuck on a plateau for 2 weeks or less, just stick with it, and you’ll eventually see a drop. Anything over 2 weeks and I’d recommend looking at your BMR and adjusting your calorie intake. I was stuck for awhile, but when I lowered my daily calorie intake by 100 I saw some progress again. Please be careful though, as you shouldn’t eat less than 1200 per day as a female. On a final note, I’d also suggest maybe cross training. Idk how your HIIT program is, but maybe do swimming, running, yoga, or dance 1-2x a week? Just a thought. You can do this!!! ٩(❛ᴗ❛)۶ 

How long have you been on this journey? 1 pound per week is pretty average I’d say! Good shedding! ✌️ 

Indeed, everyone is different and their body responds differently, so what worked for me may or may not help, but here it is anyway. When I hit stubborn plateaus in the past, I just took a break. I stopped obsessing over every calorie I put in my mouth, and took a rest from keeping my exercise numbers maxed out. Now I didn't return to my old ways in this "break" but just attempted to be reasonable with what I ate, and would just enjoy an easy walk in the evening to keep in the habit of making time to not just sit around. This gave my body time to sort of reset and normalize. After a couple weeks I would get back on plan. 

What works for me is to have 2 or 3 days of extra 300ish calories each day to remind my body I'm not starving. Then I have a big drop 2 days later and keep losing until next plateau.  

Thanks for the tips. Will try to implement if the stall continues
