    My weight has been coming off very slowly lately. I have stepped up my exercise for the last three weeks - running 4 to 5 miles a day 5 times a week and biking to work (about 50 min). I have been so hungry so I am eating 1500 to 1600 calories. Does anyone know why I am not losing weight? I don't think I can reduce my calories as I am hungry. I have been trying to increase protein. Any suggestions would be great.

    I have been running into the same issue. I think you will see the weight start to drop now that you have increased your calories. From what I read the body starts to get used to the calorie deficit and your metabolism slows down. Your body thinks it is starving so it holds on to the weigh. Do a search on calorie shifting or zig zagging.

    The good news is my weight is 185.2, I lost .6 pounds this week. The bad news is I missed my mini-goal by .4. I have to admit I'm a little disappointed. I thought I was doing everything right this week. Oh well, a loss is a loss.

    There have been some amazing weight losses on this challenge. WAY TO GO EVERYONE!!! I hope we continue on with a new challenge once this is completed.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH NEWMEAT30 FOR DOING ALL THE HARD WORK, IT'S VERY MUCH APPRECIATED!!!
