  • Stay with it! I had that problem. I wasn't losing weight at 1200 calories or even when I cut down to 800 calories a day. So I went to see a nutritionist, who did a metabolism test and told me I should be eating at least 1450 calories a day. (Or more when I exercised) My metabolism had shut down on 800-1200 calories a day.…

  • You're doing OK; don't fret about it. Your weight will go up and down a little bit day to day. The best way to keep track of how you are progressing is to weigh once a week, always on the same day, with few or no clothes on. A good diet will slim you down around a pound a week.

  • I'm allergic to eggs too. My favorite breakfast is oatmeal and blueberries. Sometimes I make muffins (substitute applesauce for eggs in the recipe). Half a whole wheat bagel and low fat cream cheese is good -- or peanut butter and jelly (read labels carefully and go for peanut butter that has just peanuts in it). Pancakes…

  • I had that same problem when my goal was 1600 calories a day. I do 45 minutes a day on the treadmill and exercise bike, and 20 to 60 minutes a day walking. I was just staying the same -- up 2 pounds, down 2 pounds, up 1 pound, down 1 pound, etc. I lowered the calorie intake to 1400 calories a day and began to VERY SLOWLY…
