i have been stuck at about the same weight forever!! i am 5'7 and my CW is 130lbs. my GW is 120lbs. i posted before because i could not lose any weight and needed advice. many people told me to up my calories. i was scared to do this as i thougt i would gain(eat more to lose seems kind of silly) BUT.........i changed my goals from 1lb a week weight loss to 1/2lb to increase my calories. i decided to weigh myself today because i have been eating more for 4 days and wanted to be sure i was not gaing. and BEHOLD i lost 1/2 lb!!!!! i am not documenting it yet because i want to be sure it sticks but i am ELATED i did not gain and the scale is moving DOWN!!! im doing a freaking happy dance right now. lol eating more to lose more seemed silly and scarry but it works!!!!

Congrats!

Eating more to lose is what worked for me. Yes, it seems counterproductive but really... it's no different than going on a long car trip and not putting gas in your car, but expecting it to get you there.
