I bumped my calories to 1500 a day

and I lost 1.2 pounds this week woohoo! I was so wary to bump my calories from 1200 so I did it slowly. I started with 1400, it worked, so now I'm going to 1500 and will see from there.

My stats: female, 5'3", CW: 124.4, GW: 110. Do 25 minutes of cardio 4-5 times a week, weight lift 4-5 times a week using the upper/lower body split on alternate days

    Awesome!!! I just bumped up as well because I'm stuck...scary, but I think it's a change that will help. Way to go!

    it's scary for sure but worth it in the long run to give it a shot! I stick with it for at least 3-4 weeks before I give up. If I notice a loss after 1-4 weeks I know it's working. If one day it stops, I'll know what calories my body can handle. I look forward to upping it to 1600 next!
