Ultimate advice!!!!! Buy yourself something you look great in and ENJOY how great you look!!!! Celebrate where you are!!!
Then, ask yourself honestly: Is this a plato or have I finally made it to my perfect weight?
Notice I said "perfect" and not "ideal." Sometimes if you aren't loosing anymore weight and you are eating and exercising then maybe this is where your body is at its best. If you are determined to loose more, try doing a totally new exercise. Get into doing something you never would have tried before. Paddle boarding, tennis, whatever you want. If you change your exercise routine once a month then you keep your body guessing and that scale moving!0 -
Thanks for the words of encouragement, but I'm overweight and I need to lose weight. I didn't hit a plateau. I have only lost 2 lbs altogether. I was about 40 lbs less, just 4 years ago. Wondering if my metabolism is just that bad.0

I'm supposed to eat 1240 a day and I eat about that. If I exercise, I eat those calories too. That was what was suggested by myfitnesspal.0

I have been eating 1400 calories a day. If it is a day I do double workouts, I will go up to 1500 calories.
I have myself set up for 45% carb, 25% fat and 30% protein. I usually hit those %'s daily ( give or take some days)
You can either bump up your calories to 1800 on X days, and 200 on double workout days, or you can post your height, weight and age and we can figure out a more precise number.
I'm 36, 5 ft 4, 142 lbs.
Based on your stats, you should be at 1750 on P90X days only and 2000 on days you do more. Or if it's a typical thing, eat at 1900 and split the different.
And with this method you do NOT eat back your exercise calories as its included in your tdee calculation.0 -

Lol double workouts.
simply put, if you are dieting you are putting the body under immense stress.
Add to that an intense workout and its asking for progress issues.
Slow down!
The body isnt getting all the nutrients it needs in the first place hence, weight loss!
Slow down!
The body isnt getting enough nutrients and now you work out double?!
Hence...the plateau.
I can almost guarantee if you do your workout routine 3 days a week youll se better results.0 -
If I friend you, can you access my info?0

I'm doing P90X, therefore exercising 3x a week ONLY is not an option for me. I spoke with someone last night and I'm going to increase my calories and go from there.
I don't consider myself on a "diet". I have changed my lifestyle and eating habits.0 -

I'm so afraid I'm going to gain with highter calories. eeekkk
The chances are...you will gain, but it's temporary and will go back down eventually once your body is adjusted. Well that happened to me.0 -

Well it was almost 3 weeks ago I increased my calories. I did initially gain. Which I was close to re adjusting again. But decided come on 1 more week with the higher calorie plan. Today I'm down 2.6 lbs. I think I finally broke that wall and I hope it keeps coming down.0
