Seemed to have reached a plato :-(

you may need to have a day or two where you work out really hard. I am talking sweat everywhere really hard. and then the next day have a break, relax, don't worry about cals.

Hi There,

Did you eat all your calories? Even the ones you burned? I'm only asking because I'm in a similar situation - only it was this week I didn't lose any weight (I actually gained a bit) despite swimming hard out every day, walking places and everything. I didn't eat all my calories though - I came in about 200 under each day. I did some research on google and it started talking about starvation mode. This is when you don't eat enough so your body slows your metabolism right down so you don't lose weight. In order to kick start it back into action you need to maybe reduce how many lbs you want to lose and start eating more. Then it figures out you're not going to run out of food and it starts to burn through fat again and lose weight.

I've not tried it yet - I'm trying this week with eating everything like I'm supposed to and we'll see how it goes!

And don't be afraid to ask for motivation if you need it :happy:

Wow! Count yourself lucky cuz he died in 348 BC!

jk... ;p I couldn't resist.

The word is plateau.

You're just going to have to stick with it. Give it a few more weeks. You're almost there!

:laugh: I was going to say "You're lucky, I only reached a Socrates"

To be honest, you haven't given very much detail to allow people to give a lot of advice.

What is your calorie intake?
Do you eat your exercise calories?

There are so many variables that play a part that it is very hard to give advice.

Thanks for the advice so far ... I have been eating all my calorie allowance everyday with the exeption of one day i was under by about 200 .
MFP says i should have 1260 calories a day and I usually get around 110 extra for walking the dog in the morning which i tend to use those calories aswell.
I work with young children so am active at work during the day, not much sitting still thats for sure !

Any more advice, help or motivation would be much appreciated

Thank you :happy:

Well considering it's only 2 more pounds you want to lose have you considered increasing your calories to bring you closer to your maintenance level (i.e. reducing your wait loss target to say 0.5lb per week)?
