    I guess I have to drop my calorie limit drastically. Hard to do. Maybe give up rice altogether.

    I've read through this thread - and while I have plateaued, I know it's only a phase and I will keep on doing what I'm doing (eating clean, eating at my BMR, exercising daily). I only weigh myself once a week for this very reason - I would get so incredibly frustrated if I weighed in every day and saw this sort of fluctuation. If I were you - I'd be happy that I've lost what I have, that my health is much better than it was a year ago and that my blood work is coming back excellent. Don't be so hard on yourself - congratulate yourself for what you HAVE done - and just keep going. If your doctor has said to eat at your BMR, then I would do that. Exercise - change it up as many have suggested to shock your body - even if it's just changing to a treadmill or an elliptical. Go for a walk outside instead of getting on the bike. Be happy that you ARE healthy! Don't fret so much over the fluctuation and plateau - stress is a killer on weight (I know this for a fact) and maybe that's part of the problem. I don't know - just be happy that you are here, you are healthier than you were a year ago, and step off the scales for a little while and enjoy life around you :)

    Thanks very much, Louise.

    I have changed a couple of things in my diet the last couple of days and will report back in a week or so to see if there is any change.

    And yes, I also walk! :)

    Thanks,

    doug

    Yes you are NOT eating enough. It's barely enough for a small woman.
