Hey everyone. I'm in a bit of a predicament.
I've recently lost 51 pounds, but now I've been stuck at this weight for about a month. I work a very active job - walking 3-4 miles in a 4 hour shift, pulling heavy carts and lifting things. Using another app, I've been logging my work days as exercise as I don't work every day. I use the exercise "house cleaning" on this other app to estimate what I burn at work. Because of all this exercise, I've only been netting around 1000 calories or less and I think this is the problem. What do you guys think? Would eating more help me out of this plateau? I'm 6' and currently 251 pounds.

    you are more active than when you first started out. You actually have to eat more now to lose again. I upped my calories and started losing again. I was at a plateau the whole month of January after I was at 50lbs lost. Try it for a week or two and see how it goes.
