    When I added calories and adequately fed my body I started losing again. You could try it and see what happens, you say your stuck doing what you've always done so try something new.
  • I have had the same problem. i finally started to eat more since i was under my recommended caloric intake and i've started to lose some weight. i must have been in starvation mode!

    Thanks so much for the reply s guys iv started to up my intake from today so fingers crossed it works! :bigsmile: Its great to here from other people in the same boat :blushing:
  • on certain days i divide my cals by 4 and try to eat smaller meals through out the day to keep my metabolism on an even keel with a healthy snack in between.
  • Let me know how it works for you! would love to hear.
