    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!

    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.
