I started at 226 lbs and I'm down to 203 but I've seemed to have stopped there, it's been about 2 weeks now and it seems like I just can't break the 203 mark for some reason, I stick to my cal count every day and drink nothing but water so is ther anything I can do to start loseing weight again, I've adj the cal intake for what I have lost and still no change so any help would be nice

    Hi, Nice work!
    Go into Reports and check the quality of your calories.
    Are you eating junk? Too much sugar?
    I also found that cutting the carbs to half of what MFP allows [and making sure they are quality carbs, not white bread, not rice] helps me move forward. Also check your sugars---they should come from fruit. More protein helped me too.
    Good luck!

    Try to balance your protein and carbs in every meal, eat several small meals throughout the day, and keep the sugar count down! :smile:

    I went through this in mid-January and stalled at 20 pounds. Change your exercise routine. Either up the intensity or just do a completely different exercise. Also, weight loss isn't linear. You're going to have some periods of plateaus. Everyone does!
