    how much have you lost? are you eating back your exercise calories? your net calorie intake should be 1200 at least.

    What about carbs, and fat compared to protein?

    I think you eating to little maybe... I work out 4-5 times a week and I was 234 two weeks ago. This site tells me to eat 1200 without exercise and over 1000 cals more when i do - if you dont your body may be holding on to everything instead of letting it go.... Today my scale was 222.4 - so eating more as weird as it sounds; kinda works :)

    I hear ya, exactly like me... I have been over 4 weeks on this and lost 3 lbs :-(
    I stick w/ the calories they recommend 1200 and exercise 5 days a week..... weight is not coming off.....Rainyday99 you are very very lucky to drop 10 lbs in 2 weeks...... Good work...... But Josephine237 I am at my wits end as the weight isn't budging.....Hang in there.....
