Just curious.......when you say you hit a plateau you bumped up your caloric intake. I have a feeling I am taking in too few cals. What did you add to your diet to get more calories? By the way, congrats!
I started at 1200 cals like most people and then bumped it up to 1450, 1650 and now probably 1800 or 1900 to maintain. I just started eating more, and it was great!! I would have the entire hardboiled egg instead of just egg whites. I had regular cheese on my salad instead of fat free feta, or I would add black beans or chicken. Litltle things incorporated into my usual routine.
If you think you are taking in too few calories, then bump them up a few hundred and see what happens. You may be surprised. Check out these two posts from Banks -

Woohoo!!! Congratulations! You make it sound easy!
Ha! Not easy at first with the lower calories, but it got better over time. And I really enjoyed working out. Now I get a little cranky if I can't get a good workout in every other day or so! I would have never believed it considering how much time I used to spend in front of the tv!
Just curious, what were you doing all summer that required you to live in a tent and eat trail food?0 -
Congrats to you!! How wonderful you must feel!!! You are definitely an inspiration! :drinker: :flowerforyou:0

I am the same way! I neeeeeed my workouts, it's an addiction! :laugh: This summer I was a climbing director with the Boy Scouts...so I lived at an outpost in the woods and entertained the crews that backpacked to my area. I had to live in a tent because there's nothing out there lol, no electricity/plumbing/running water (except the creek, but that doesn't really count). I taught climbing and did campfires and such. It sucked, and if I never have dried milk again in my life, it'll be too soon. :sick:0 -
