    I agree, try to trade out one or two servings of carbs for fresh veggies, and if you're doing steady-state cardio, try one or two HIIT sessions per week to rattle your metabolism a little bit. Whatever you change up, it might take 3-4 weeks to notice, but stick with it and if you're truly putting in hard work, results will follow, just be patient and don't stress over it.

    How would trading a carb for a veggie help produce weight loss ? What macro do you think veggies fall into, just curious?

    (Weight loss comes down to calories not carbs)

    When I say carbs, I'm talking about starchy carbs like breads, potatoes, things like that. I realize that veggies fall into the macronutrient category of carbs, I'm talking about green leaf veggies, broccoli, those kinds of veggies. Her diet has very little of those "carbs" to use your macronutrient definition. But eat whatever you want.

    Are you using a food scale to weigh all your solids ? Measuring cups for liquids ?
    Are you eyeballing portions or using quick add calories or scanning packages without weighing?

    Did you adjust your calories after your 15 lb loss ? Sometimes I need to readjust every 10lbs or so.

    What is your current calorie goal and stats? How much do you have to lose ?
    How long have you been stalled ?

    Are you eating back your exercise calories ? If so, how are you determining your calories burnt ?
    I count calories but I don't ever measure. I have not adjusted calories, no. Calorie goal is 1400, I have about 60 more pounds to lose and I've been stalled about 2 weeks I guess. No I never eat back my exercise calories.

    What do you mean you do not measure ? Can you clarify? Do you mean that you do not use a digital food scale to weigh your solids ?

    I don't use a scale to weigh my solids. I just basically count my calories throughout the day and stay within my calorie deficit. My day pretty much consist of eating about 1300 calories and I'll have about 300 exercise calories, that I don't eat back.

    If you don't weigh your foods you really have no idea how many extra calories you are consuming....

    A plateau is when weight loss hasn't happened for several weeks (more than 3)

    It means we are simply eating at maintenance calories hence no loss happens.
