i just need.... advice.

I wish I had some advice :grumble: but I am in the same boat. I have been stuck for almost 2 months :frown: I keep bouncing the same 2 pounds up and down and up and down. I have increased cals and lowered cals I have staggered cals. I have drank an ocean of water and bounced different work outs in. I feel like my body is content to stay where its at and vist for awhile :sad: I look at it this way at some point it will decide to move on and try a lower weight. but in the mean time as long as I maintain and dont gain or fall back into bad habits its all good. :happy: I think if you put to much stress and worry into it your body digs its heals in and the scale wont budge. Try and relax keep working on it and it will start working again. :flowerforyou:

Change your weight loss goals and change up your workouts. You could also try taking 1-2 days off of diet and exercise. Sometimes I do that and even though I gain a few pounds the next day, I've usually lost the water retention and an extra pound 3-4 days later.

Take off a couple of days. Eat an entire pizza. Or go to your fav. restaurant and pig out. I have been stuck at the plateua for 3 weeks. Last saturday after the pizza I weighed 232 and after that 2 more mexican dinners with chips and fajitas. This morning I weighed 219. Thats within 1 week time period. Mind you I changed several things at once. I changed my workouts and done more intensive longer workouts, and I cut Protein mix completely(I get plenty of Protein by what I eat). Oh and do this with the mind set of an experiment and plan on going back to your diet.... errr, life change. Oh and my diet went hardcore. Completely vegen. No need of meat whatsoever or dairy. Hopefully you can do this and stay on the wagon. If you think you can't do not try.

Hope this helps,

Can you have your diary open to view? so others on here can see what your eating? you could just be eating too much of something ( carbs, sugar, sodium, fat) and changing one of those things could change things up for you!!
Stick with it, you will get there. :flowerforyou:

I agree with what was stated above. I'm not sure if you are just looking at your calories or if you have paid attention to other nutritional info. such as fat, sat. fats, sodium, carbs, etc. You can easily be meeting your calorie goals but doubling or tripling one of these nutritional content areas (or even worse). Try changing your settings to display this data on your diary and you might be surprised at what you find out. Keep running and doing your best. Sometimes your body needs time to maintain a specific weight before it's ready to shed some more. Good luck!

Just like everybody is saying: You've reached your first plateau! But, here's the thing: Lower your calories. You're body needs even less now. Don't think of it as a negative thing, think positive! You're body is getting to the point where it's comfortable with the amount of calories your giving it.

If you've been inputting your weight into MFP, it normally will recalculate your needs to fit your new weight. Sometimes, you can't trust it though. Do some research on overcoming plateaus in weight loss. Just type it into google, I'm sure there will be all sorts of advice websites.

*BUT! If you're at the minimum of 1200 calories, don't lower it. Try eating 1500 for a week and then go back. It might jumpstart some more weight loss.*

EDIT: I've read the other comments. Taking a few days off your diet is a great way to boost your metabolism. Just plan these days, so you don't feel guilty. And don't binge! Don't eat until your sick just because it's your day off.
And protein! My mom lost 100 pounds and when she reached a plateau she starting buying protein shake mix. It restarted her weight loss.
Also, maybe try accelerating your current exercise routines. With a lot of workout videos, I've noticed they have different stages so that when you begin to feel comfortable with one, you can move onto a harder exercise! Good luck. 148 sounds great to me! Couldn't be that bad. (Unless you're really short, I guess.)

EDIT AGAIN: And, I like to babble on and on, but here's another tip anyways! Like I said, 148 sounds really great to me, but then again I haven't seen your picture or anything and I don't know where you started, but with saying that, maybe you can't lose anymore. If you have a big frame, going any lower might be impossible. And even if you don't have a large frame, try toning! Maybe it's loose skin you see? "Skinny fat" as I've heard it. Do toning exercises and more strength training. See if it helps. Maybe you just need some muscle now.
