Your Dairy is private. What's your BMR/TDEE/calorie intake/weight? Why do you think you've pleateued? Have you been at the same weight for a month or more?
Suggestion: Eat at TDEE for at least a few weeks and then do a cut 10-20% cut0 -
I don't think your diary is open
How long has it been since you lost anything? What about exercise?0 -
How long is this "plateau"?
Go here to open your Food Diary : http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/diary_settings0 -
It happens to all of us, believe me. I hear all the time, "it doesnt matter what the scale says how do your clothes fit, its muscle,its water weight.....blah, blah ,blah! I WANT TO SEE THE SCALE GO DOWN! I will never understand how I can do cardio 3-4 times a week and walk 60 miles a week ( with a bit of running ) still trying to learn to breathe doing this...haha .... and the scale is the same if not a few pounds more. It truly drives me nuts! BUT.............I just keep going. )) I have weighed the same for 3 weeks. Actually gained a few. It's ok - b/c I will beat this.0

:sad: I feel your pain!0

The only thing I could suggest is to cut out the Chinese buffet and the processed foods like McDonalds and hot dogs. Try to eat a little cleaner. Add more vegetables and fruits. That might break your plateau.0

Can I ask what you did to earn 3012 extra calories from exercise the other day? Because if that is for real you are under fueling! Maybe it was really 301 cal?0

You've lost 13 pounds since June. How is that a plateau?0

It should be open now I have weight the same for about a month. I workout A LOT, burn between 500 and 2000 calories a day eating I try to be healthy, hasnt been, my excuse is that I've been working every day. I need more info about diet and that. I can count calories with the best of them, but what to eat and where my calories come from is somewhat of an issue for me.0

I am a swim teacher and often go to the gym too. I swim for five hours. burns so many calories!0 -
You are swimming constantly for five hours? Or you are just in the pool instructing? I'm sure you burn lots of cals, but the ones you are logging seem impossible.
Also, I'm sure I don't need to tell you that the 2500 kcal dinner the other night was too much!
Honestly, my best guess is that you are eating too much and overestimating exercise calories.
Here's my suggestion: get a waterproof heart rate monitor which will tell you exactly what you are burning in the pool0 -
How are you estimating your calorie burns?
What's your TDEE (sedentary and active)?
What's your BMR?0 -
Calories burned are being estimated through mfp, except for the machines, I record what the machines say at the gym. And I swim, tread water, keep children afloat for about five hours, not to mention the running around in the shallow end. Plus I don't float as well as I did so now I have to work harder to keep my head about water. Mfp overestimates, but I know I defiantly burn a lot of calories in the pool. And I would love to be able to afford a waterproof heart monitor. Know where I can find an affordable one?
I have been eating badly. Probably should have fixed that before complaining on here. My apologies0 -

Google tdee calculator scooby
Fill it out, using "strenuous exercise". Eat the number they give you for "tdee - 20%". Eat that amount every day and see what happens. If you are starving, slowly increase cals until you aren't.0 -

i dont know where you taught, but all i know is i am never still, constantly swimming, walking, demonstrating, treading water, supporting kids in the deep end, and am usually exhausted after a days work. and until now i've been losing 2-3 pounds a week working there.0 -
I'd suspect you're overestimating the calorie burn as well. Something like a Polar FT4 is waterproof, as long as you follow the directions, and costs less than $70, IIRC.0
