Upped my intake for a few days then dropped it back to normal. After that I started doing that 1-2 days per week and weight loss has been steady.0

I was on a plateau for months when I heard about MFP. I joined and I put in all my info and I was to eat 1200 calories plus eat back my exercise calories. That was last December 27, 2012. I weighed in at 138 at 5'1". Today I weigh 122 for a total loss of 16 pounds. I would like to lose 2 more pounds. I wasn't perfect in my eating. Sometimes I ate too much and sometimes too little, but I did workout 5-7 days a week for at least an hour. I'm very pleased with my result.0

These are 2 suggestions:
1. make sure you are weighing and measuring your food so that, what you "think" you are eating is what you are "actually" eating (re: calories); and
2. be really, really patient! Because weight-loss isn't linear, it can take some time to break a plateau, but, at the end of the day, if your calories in are LOWER than your calories out, you will lose weight....(even if it's an ULTRA-slow process!).0
