    For a while there I was eating under my calories, sometimes way under. I started eating more upped my calories personally. I started eating 1300 sometimes even 1400 (rare days) but that seemed to help. People could tell I was losing so I guess i was losing inches but I wanted to see movement on the scale. I dont know what your eating but maybe eat a little more. I learned my lesson on not eating enough though.

    Congrats! I recently just changed my calories down to 1200. I was eating 1460. I figured I'd try eating 1200 for a week and see what it does for me. I was losing about 2 lbs a week eating 1460.

    You really are an inspiration.

    Congrats! Those plateaus can be hard to break through. I know cuz I've been stuck for almost a month now. You just have to keep doing the right things and eventually your body will get the hint.
    You're doing a great job. 40 lbs is a major accomplishment! :flowerforyou:
