Keep your NET calories at least 1250/day- after excercise. Mine was 1750/day and I was working out, burning 800/day leaving my NET at 950/day. I am finally pulling out of "starvation mode" after 4 weeks of not losing a pound. EAT!!!! At least keep it at 1250/day!

also, avoid hitting the dreaded plateau by eating at least 1250 calories AFTER excercise calories have been figured in. That would be your "Net" calories. I am currently trying to pull myself out of starvation mode. I ate 1750 calories/ day but my excercise increased to from 300 to1200 calories a day. This left me at just…

I'm in the same boat. Started this Jan. 1st. By April 1st lost 38 lbs at mostly 2 lbs per week. 282 lbs to 245 lbs. First 10 Days was about 13 lbs in water weight. I was eating 1750 calories but did not eat any of my excercise calories. The more I excercised the slower my weight loss became. Then it just stopped. The past…

Make sure to increase your intake to at least half of your added excercise calories. I was set at eating 1750 calories and i stayed with that. Well that was figured for a sedentary lifestyle. I am now burning about 800-1000 calories per day extra in excercise. 4 weeks ago I plateau'ed and was just not very hungry and just…

Nothing wrong with 8 lbs/ month! good job! As long as you heading the right direction it's always good. You don't want to lose anymore than 2 lbs/wk anyway. You need time for your skin to shrink back or else you'll look like Adam Sandler in the movie "Click" with a stomach that looked like a tongue!

Drink nothing but water 7 days a week. Drink beer on fridays and saturdays 6-12 beers/day but make sure you get in an extra workout for those days. I shoot for a daily workout of 500-800 calories. Friday and saturday I up it to 1100-1400 calories. Ex.- walk nine holes of golf AND an hour on the elliptical. Then it's beer…

My first month and a half was with little excercise. 20 minute walk, nothing strenuous. I am now doing about 800 calories/day on the elliptical machine, shooting baskets and walking the golf course and I am still losing just 2 lbs/week. So, my muscles feel better, my golf swing speed seems a little faster and my energy…

I gave up on the cereal for breakfast. One egg cooked in fat free PAM over one slice of wheat toast- accompanied by a banana and sometimes a small yogurt as well, and black coffee. That takes care of me for quite awhile. Maybe even split that in half within a couple of hours. It could be your sugar levels are way out of…

From my personal experience, I started and 282, 41 yrs old and have a 3 yr old daughter that I just have to stick around for. I worked graveshift, would watch her all day and in 3 yrs the weight really piled on. After 3 wks I just weighed in at 267. I started Jan 1, and have lost 15lbs and I haven't even started a serious…

I am also in my 5th day. i haven't had healthy portions in quite sometime. The past year, I had a fast food meal at least once a day due to night shift. Taco Hell and Jack in the Crack were the only options (I reasoned). LOTS OF SODA. About 1000 CAL/Day. Throw in 3 six packs of beer /wk (microbrews even) and yep, that's a…
