Hello All

Hi and welcome! I want to encourage you to consider eating more calories of nutritious foods. I know that is hard to do when your mind is telling you to eat less to lose more, but I was having the same issue in Weight Watchers and my leader told me I wasn't eating enough and I thought she was crazy, but she told me to just do it her way for a week and see if anything happened. Well I lost 3 pounds that week and I was eating more. Of course it matters what kind of calories you are eating, so don't add junk food, but add more protein, vegetables, fruit, dairy, whole grains, etc. up to your recommended calorie intake and do not go under it no matter what your mind tells you...and try not to weigh for a week at least and then see if it makes a difference. I bet it will because I can count numbers of people in WW that have had the same issue and every time they were cutting their calories too low which causes your metabolism and fat burning to shut down because your body thinks it's starving. Several ladies had this happen after they lost some weight and started working out more strenuously and did not take in more needed calories to sustain those kind of workouts and they stopped losing even though they were working harder. Trust me, I know how hard it is to think eating more will work but it really does if you eat more calories of nutritious foods to help fuel your body....think of your body as a machine that can't run without enough fuel and all machines need the right kind of fuel to run. I hope this helps you...Good Luck!!! :flowerforyou:
