in Health and Weight Loss
I'm 5ft 5, weigh 131lbs, have a MFP calorie limit of 1200 like many others on here and do the 30 day shred 5 days a week burning 158 calories each time. I walk everywhere (to Sixthform and back 5 days a week - 20 minutes altogether if I walk at a steady pace, slightly less if I walk fast) but can't seem to lose any more weight and it's getting to that point where I just want to give up.

someone shed some light? PLEASE!

    Make sure you eat all your exercise calories, even if you gain at first, you will start to lose again. It worked for me!

    It seems like you may have hit a plateau, try to vary your exercises as your body can get used to the same thing over and over

    Agreed. Switch your routine.

    Are you eating clean? Processed food can cause problems as well.

    i have heard on here that some people have bumped up their calorie intake and they get out of the plateau. Not that this really matters, but are you sure you only burn the (i think it said 158 calories?) I havent done that 30day shred but Id think it would burn more???

    Increase your calories and maybe set your goal so that you lose less than what you have it set at now..

    according to the circuit training in the database i burn 158 calories during the 20 minute workout, i didn't what else to put it under and saw that a few others put it under circuit training also...

    it sounds like your body has adapted so what people are talking about by kind of tricking it (eating more calories for a bit, changing your workout routine, etc.) should jumpstart it and then you can get back to your preferred calories and form of exercise
