    thank you so much for the info... im hoping it will help me. ive been on MFP for a year and seems like im always "fighting" the same weight..i was proud of myself last week and had made it one pound shy of my x-mas goal weight...after the weekend (which i feel like i didnt over-eat at all) i was back up AGAIN!
    im hoping switching up my exercise and maybe a "cheat" a week can help me get to where ive been planning to go!

    thanks again, great write-up :)

    welcome (everyone else too)

    one thing I learned if your over eating on sodium your body will carry more water, how much water do you drink in a day? the 8 glasses that are recommended? if your drinking to little water (thats my problem so i can understand) thats what will happen, try to up your water yes you might have to go to the bathroom a lot but it helps drop pounds pretty quick :flowerforyou:

    I've hit a plateau right now but trying to come out of it, if what I am doing now doesn't work then I am certainly going to come back to this

    I've been at a weight loss platuea since late August. I finally made it under 130 only to see the next week that I had put on 2lbs and I have been gaining and losing the same 2-3lbs every week. I have tried zig zag, upping my calorie intake, eating my exercise calories, not eating my exercise calories, not working out, working out more aggressively... Nothing seems to work and I cannot get the last 5lbs to go away.

    I walk 3 miles every day at a brisk rate and go calisthenics at home 25mins at least three times a week.

    What am I doing wrong?

    Over five months hard work and not even 10lbs lost... It's disheartening.

    Well doing the samething everyday will do it, you need to mix it up, remember smaller you get and less to lose also it gets harder to get those last pounds off, don't let it get ya down though, stop doing and eating the samethings everyday mix it up toss some weights in there and instead of walking run see if that helps :flowerforyou: gotta mix it up or your body gets in a slump with the same ol same ol :heart: gotta shock it daily!



    Ps... just looked at your food diary's your eating to little as a female you dont' wanna eat less than 1200 cals a day, your body could be in starvation mode too....

    3500 cals to gain 1lb
    3500 burned cals to lose 1lb
