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?

    Not doing the challenge but an OTF regular and I'm loving the more intense workouts!!! Yesterday's really kicked my butt (in a good way.)

    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?
