Plateau

You may want to stager your calories.. eat a little more on one day then less the next. If you have been doing the same workout mix that up. Change something so that your body gets out of the rut it is in. I wouldn't say eat less because depending on your current calories you are probably low enough. Most people go too low not too high on their calories.

Good luck !!!

i had to start eating back more of my exercise calories to break my plateau.
the more of them i eat now, the better my weekly losses *S* (most days i now eat back all exercise calories)

i usually wait; because ive been on here 16weeks now and been plateaued 7 of those weeks but still lost my 42lbs (over 2lbs a week averaged, even with not losing nearly half the time).

BUT, seeing as your in a competition you cant just wait it out. How does you sodium look? if its high, lower it. Hows your water intake look? If your drinking any less than half your body weight in ounces a day, drink more!! Do you eat right when you get up? If you dont, try doing that; not eating breakfast sets your metabolism much lower for the day so u burn less. If you always do the same workout, try doing something different for a couple days; try doing it at different times even. Zig zag calories; eat your normal calories one day and next day eat a few hundred more, and then go back down; sometimes your body just needs to kick to convince itself its not starving... Heres a big one for me---eat clean--no processed foods for a couple days to clear your system; fruits/veggies/nuts/rice/lean meats/dry beans (not canned)/etc... dont eat steak it bogs down your system and takes along time for your body to process. eating this way will also make your sodium below 1000mg a day.

im currently in the same type of competition but i have 9weeks left.
