    My plan calls for 1500 calories a day. I lost 25 lbs and was stuck at 200. Since Thanksgivings I gained 5 pounds until Xmas, I got back to my old routine and now back to 200 but can't seem to pass that point. It is frustrating to say the least.

    If you have portions down, the portion rule is a fist of veggies, fist of carbs, and palm size of protein each meal. The next step would be counting macros. I personally found counting macros (Fats, Carbs, Protein) the best way to see results.

    Feel free to ask me how to count your macros or what macros are!

    I work out about 6-7 days a week for about 2-3 hours, mostly weights and cardio here and there. How often you eat is KEY!! You want to be eating about 4-6 meals a day, if you can't do that due to work or anything. I make sure to fit a protein shake inbetween meals I know I wont have time to sit down and eat a solid meat. Also, you want to make sure you are always eating a protein & a veggie every 3 hours to keep your body always burning fat and maintaining lean muscle! Another thing to keep in mind for your diet is fish about 2-3x a week or at least be taking fish oils everyday, which I do!

    Lastly, SUPPLEMENTS are going to be a HUGE help in losing fat, maintaining or whatever the fitness goal is! Multivitamins, fish oils, protein powder (isolate & whey concentrated 90% whey 10% carbs and fat ) are going to be the main ones but there's more products out there that can help you enhance your results!

    I hope this helps anybody reading this! Feel free to ask me any questions! :)

    Thank you! I can't stand when people use the "muscle doesn't weight more than fat" line and think they're so smart. It's even worse than people who pick on grammar all the time.[/quote]

    Poor grammar. She's old and wrinkly, and still people pick on her.
