I upped my calories from 1200 to 1740 and am losing!! I was at a plateau for weeks while eating 1200 and now it is coming off. I lost 3 lbs in 2 weeks. Thank you to this forum for encouraging more calories! Interesting... look at what Jillian Michaels just posted on Facebook... No wonder we think we need to torture ourselves to be fit. Lots of women on there disagreeing with her :)

".Weight loss tip - So many people come up to me and tell me they can’t lose weight and yet, I haven’t ever met a person I can’t take weight off. You're not counting calories. Forget all the fad diets for a moment and just focus on the basics. Weight loss will always require burning more calories than you take in. Calories in versus calories out. If you're trying to lose weight I recommend 1200 cals a day for a woman & 1400 cals a day for a man. Only exception is green veggies. Eat as many greens as you want, but make sure they aren’t cooked in a fattening sauce. Don’t get hamstrung by fads like avoiding carbs or grains, going raw, and so on. It’s perfectly healthy to eat carbs, fat, and protein as long as they are not overly processed and loaded with chemicals like trans fats, artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors, hfcs, and so on. Eat real food with calorie control and you can’t go wrong."

    That is super awesome! It's always a treat when the scale is nice to you, but it's even better when you are eating more and the scale is still being nice to you. Keep up the good work!
