EAT YOUR EXERCISE CALORIES!!!!! I consume 1280 a day PLUS whatever I burn working out and I lose 1.5 to 2 pounds a week even though I am almost about to goal. I plateau at 150/148 and then I up my calorie intake to 1480. Hope this helps!

quick side note..... I put on the weight with protein shakes, even if I use it as a meal replacement. But we are all different:happy:

You most likely are at your target weight for your body. At a size small I am 150 pounds. I had to try super hard to get to 147 and kept yo-yoing those 3 pounds for about 9 months. I am 5'5" and 33.

Hummus (homemade) I pre sliced my green peppers, carrots,…

I find that when I hit a plateau it is because I have not eaten ALL my calories consistently (you can not over eat one day and under eat the next and call it even, it does not work that way) and that I am too consistent with my meals. Mix it up, have something you usually don't eat in your diet (but within portion). Remind…

I had bye-bye arms in the worst way... and I gain muscle rather quickly, especially in my arms. I used Denise Austin's Shrink Your Female Fat Zones at first with 5 pound weights. Now I do that on top of doing push ups during my work out (about 10 every 6 minutes). Huge difference in my arms. Good luck!

If that is all your eating and staying that active, you are not consuming enough calories by mid-day and you should be starving. Try to eat am egg with whole wheat toast and a piece of fruit for breakfast and then a salad with some grilled chicken on top for lunch.. you may see an improvement on appetite. They say if you…
