I'm a head trainer for OTF and I see a couple MFP members are doing this. I am telling all of the people on my team to use MFP. Helped me lose all of my weight back in 2009. Anyone doing the challenge this month?

    I am doing it! The studio just opened about 2 days before Christmas and I have been doing it since then. I love it!

    Thanks for the link above on the macros. I've got to get more protein in my days. It is a struggle for me!

    I started my weight loss journey in October/November. I began with tracking my calories through myfitness pal and paid close attention to overall eating less and eating clean. I was sticking close to 1200-1300 cals/day. I was able to drop 20 pounds by mid January.

    I recently started working out at orange theory 3-4 times a week starting Feb 8th. I have seen overall improvement in my flexibility, endurance, and muscle tone; however, the scale has not budged. For the first month I just thought it was muscle gain, but I'm heading into week 7 and I now am a little confused.

    I have stayed disciplined in tracking my caloric intake. I read some articles and thought maybe I'm not allowing my body to recover from the training and not consuming enough protein. I just recently started drinking a 100 cal muscle milk protein supplement after class.

    Is this type of plateau normal? Is there something else I should be doing?
