Ok, so I know "normal" people platue and than they either up their calories and/or exercise. With that said how does that work for hypo? I feel like maybe I am eating too little calories? But scared to up them and have the scale jump since I've been workin 60days at this and only have seen 3.6lbs drop off. MPF has me eating 1200 calories. I'm 29, height is 5'1, and I weigh 131 and am looking to drop to 110-115 range (even settle for 120 at this point). I work out every day, only because I absolutely push myself. I can't seem to do as much as everyone else at the gym without feeling like dieing. Which is annoying me because I used to be able to do 5miles a day at the gym.....now I struggle to do 2-3 every other day. The only thing that has seem to not exhaust me as much is JM 30DS. But now the endo said maybe I need to cut out the weights because I'm getting so tired.....I just don't know what to do anymore and I just feel like giving up today and absolutely crying. :( another week without that blasted scale not moving

    I know you are staying in your calories but what is a typical day like for you??? How much protein are you eating? What about carbs??

    I don't know for sure -- but you workout a lot and mostly stay under 1200 cals even when you workout. You may want to try just eating back 1/2 your exercise calories and see what happens. You do have to risk gaining a little, but you've got to find the sweet spot that works for you calorie-wise.

    I know when I was eating them all back that I got no where....so I wasb't sure. I think today I'm gonna take a rest from working out since it's been 19 straight days. I just get bored sitting at home :(

    May want to try upping your fat intake and lowering your carbs for a while too and play with that.

    That is what i was going to suggest, up the fat just a little, a few nuts,olive oil....and maybe cut the banana out?? I can only do 1 fruit a day, dont know if it is the carbs or the sugars?? sometimes just one little change is all you need, and yes you need to rest your body....19 straight days is a lot....Good luck....It is definitely something we all have to play with just a little....Good luck!!
