    What does this mean? Are you pushing a very low cal diet? Not within MFP guidelines if you are.

    Plus, the OP said she has no trouble with exercise but isn't sticking to a low cal diet due to sugar, so really she doesn't need your "extreme" diet... she just needs to go back to eating at a deficit.

    You probably need to up your calories. I'm Steve. I have lost 116 pounds since January. In June of this year I hit a month and a half plateau. It took me raising my calories to fix the plateau. If you want to know more feel free to add me and send a message. For the record, I am not pushing any kind of crazy diet. I lost my weight with proper nutrition and exercise. No fads, extremes, pills, surgeries or anything crazy.
