I'm stuck!

I don't know from expierence as I have only been on for about 2 weeks but I have seen other people say to up your calorie intake that it will help you get over your plateau. Apparently your body gets almost like immune to your daily calories a day so you have to change it up a bit.

Hard to advise without seeing your diary. If you are all the way down to the min 1200 and exercising alot you need to eat more and the last should come off.

You need to have fuel to burn, lots of water, protein and fiber and limit fat, simple carbs and sodium.

Best of luck!

Help! I have dropped 15 pounds since April, however I seem to be stuck. I exercise (run, walk and Zumba) 6 days a week and eat smart, but I can't seem to get off 15. Can anyone give advise on how to jump start my losing again? I"m beginning to get discouraged :-( Thanks!

Without knowing exactly what your diet looks like, it would be hard to tell what improvements can be made. However, if you have been doing the same exercise routine for longer than 4 months, your body may have become efficient at burning those calories and are actually burning less than you used to. Maybe it's time for a change in your routine with focus on strength training and a clean diet. Good luck!

Watch your carbs try cutting out bread, pasta, and potatoes. Except sweet potatoes those are really good for you. Try eating clean, in other words don't eat anything in a box. I tried this recently and have seen better results. Also if for example you are eating 1200 cal a day try uping your calories to 1400 or more for a day or two and then go back to 1200. I have done this and lost weight within days of returning to my regular calories. Also you should eat 5-6 small meals and drink lots of water. These are just things that I have done and have I have been consistently been lossing weight since feb. Feel free to look at my food diary.

I know the feeling. I joined in January, dropped 83 pounds very quickly and lost weight each week. Then the dreaded plateau hit! I was stuck for 2 months but very stuck for 5 solid weeks. I tried everything. I changed my workouts, increased strength training, I zigzagged calories, increased my calorie intake and made sure I ate back my exercise calories. The one thing that worked for me, and I'm not saying this is for everything, but I tried the 4 Hour Body Diet by Tim Ferriss. I dropped 4 pounds in one week and have been losing since. I only wanted to try it long enough to knock me off the plateau and it worked. Message me if you want more info.
