    I've heard that KETTLEBELL workouts BURN BURN BURN!!!! Maybe do a google search for that & read about it. It works your entire body & is reported to burn even more than boot camp, running, stairs, etc.

    Hi, so I've come to the dreaded plateau where my intake is at it's lowest (1200/day) and my BMR is only like 1500 and change. At this rate my weight loss is only like 2lbs a month. I want to make it 1.5-2lbs a week by adding more exercise.

    With that said and the math done I need to burnr roughly an additional 600/cal per day! Is this even realistic without losing my mind??? Anyone at that level of BURN? If so please send suggestions. I am a fulltime mom and account analyst for the hospitals clinical lab so in short my time is limited except maybe saturdays. Any high impact short time suggestions?

    thanks :-)

    You should eat at least your bmr and then your exercise calories back if you want to build muscle. You might not be eating enough and that might be why you are stuck in a plateau.

    perhaps a work out video and the occasional HIIT session would do the trick?

    If you are still losing up to 2 lbs a month, you are not experiencing a plateau.

    Ok, so here is something that is going to help you. Weight training, you will burn on average 3% more in 10 weeks which depending on your weight could be 5-20 pounds. If you weight lift 2x a week you will loose weight. And don't worry if you see your weight go up a few pounds because your body bloats in the areas you work for a couple days. You may not see the scale move, but you'll be able to wear a pant size smaller in a month. I have lost 5 pounds in 3 weeks which is ok, but I am now a dress/pants size smaller. Also it burns about 300 calories just in that. Then you go running for like a half hour and that's about 300+ depending on speed and your weight. Also do TOTAL body workout so that way one muscle group isn't getting worked and that can also burn more calories. Higher your protein counts! I'm seeing great results in my body from this! Work out like a man does I work out like my husband does and he can bench 50lbs over his weight and is in perfect shape with 6% body fat. We do our workouts together! And you wont get bulky cause its too hard for women to build a lot of muscle! Good luck!

    Yeah you definitely need to eat more to fuel that much working out..

    I know we all want to lose FAST.. but this is a marathon.. not a sprint..

    Go for TDEE-15% based on Moderate activity calculations..

    Hmmm. Are you sure your TDEE is correct at 1500ish? (I think I read that you meant TDEE) With 50 lbs to lose, and you're a full time mom? I dunno! I'd really think about what kind of activities you do to be sure you're actually at 1500 to start, because it may be a matter of time-to-increase. :)

    If not, yeah, 600 a day is possible, it can just be harder depending on how small you are. :) I'd probably just try to burn more ambient calories than running around in a gym. Clean more, take stroller walks more, wrestle with the significant other more. My entire life would be a study in trying to stay off the couch and up and doing something. :)

    I can do it by doing multiple exercises a day. Noted I don't work but I think you can still get more in within a week than on Saturdays alone. Go to the database and pick what you think are doable activities for your time and it will tell you the burn you can get.

    Mowing the lawn with a regular push mower I can burn 544.

    When I was at that stage about 5 years ago, I found that even if I only burned an addition say 300 a day I did okay, usually dropped 1-3 lb a week.

    I started out walking 2 miles a day 5 days a week, and then I gradually got up to 5-6 miles a day, and ever now an then I'd walk 8 miles just to see if I could. This REALLY sheds the pounds. But it takes patience.

    It was also especially helpful for me to have some days where I ate about 1000 cal, some where I ate 1200, and maybe one with 1400 to 1600... Just to kind of change things up and confuse my body. But that was me, and it may not work for you.

    Just my 2 cents. :)

    *** This! ***

    Don't always trust the calorie levels that MFP sets. If your BMR is 1500 then eating 1200 is far too low. Try upping your calories to your BMR and see how you go. It will also give you more energy to exercise.
