RE: EM2WL HELP ME PLLEEAASEEEE!!!!

I have currently lost a total of 56 lbs in about the past 9 months mainly doing a 1200 calorie diet. The last 3-4 months I have lost nothing. I jog 1-3 times a week for 2.5 miles and I am pretty active at work so I consider myself lightly active on the scooby fitness calorie counter .I was feeling hungry all the time and saw I was eating way below my bmr so I finally upped my calories to 1535 about 3 weeks ago and have gained 3 pounds. Should I up my cals again, lower them, keep them the same? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks so much,
Jenny

    Try strength training...lifting weights builds muscle, tones you and helps burn some fat....you'll see a difference in about 2 weeks.
  • First of all...congrats on the loss of 56lbs!!! Have you tried increasing your water intake. I just learnd that we are suppose to drink 1/2 our body weight in water daily. So, 80 oz spread out during the day should help. Me on the other hand, Hard to get in 65 oz daily. I might as well stand in the bathroon all day drinking and......well, you know! :)
