i have heard a lot of people say when they increased their calories they began to lose more weight.. when should that happen.. i have lost 14 lbs so far.. then thanksgiving and christmas hit and i just now got back to my pre holiday weight. i am on a 1200 cal diet.. i try to exercise 5 times a week.

    You're eating 1200 *net* calories right? If you aren't then I would suggest increasing them now. Otherwise, I suggest increasing when you plateau. That's what I did to break through my first one.

    I have lost 26lbs so far and have yet to get anywhere near a plateau stage, so if you are comfortable with eating 1200 cals then stick with that until you reach your plateau :)

    But as the above poster said, make sure your netting at least 1200
