Going to try something different

SherryRH

Ok, for the past 3 months I have been stuck on the same weight. It goes up, usually 1 or 2 pounds but it has not gone down. I haven't really taken my measurements but I think I may need to do that tomorrow to track some progress.

As of today, I upped my calorie intake to 1400 instead of the 1200 I was eating. I am going to try it for a week and see how I do. Yesterday, I ate my 1200 calories, my exercise calories and then some other calories I didn't have. I weighed myself this morning and weighed less so maybe I am not eating enough to lose. Wish me luck because this stupid plateau is driving me crazy!

Please keep me posted on your breaking the plateau plan- I am in the same boat. I have read Banks fantastic post but I am still struggling with it.

Good luck and I am excited for your results to come!

One thing to keep in mind as you shift from starvation mode to eating enough to actually lose mode is that your body might need time to "re-set" so a week may not be enough time to make that judgment call . . . Also, eating all your cals still doesn't mean exceeding the cals you've burned . . .

Good luck to you! I'll be watching to see your results b/c I'm sure to be there, too.
