My goals for December: continue to eat before the holiday parties I go to so I just have a drink or two and some low cal food if available. I did this at both parties I went to this weekend but I have 8 more to go. I love parties and I don't want to miss out because I am scared I'll overeat. Continue to exercise 8 hours…

Thank you everyone. I just bookmarked also the long topic on not starving yourself and when I have more time I'll do the calculations as I do have my body fat, etc. from my personal trainer, we do this quarterly.

This person is licensed and part of a managed care plan, yet they spend very little time with you and he just scribbled some numbers down, so not really. I did learn some important things from him but I think he may have been wrong on this one. I am going to put my exercise into myfitness and take the extra calories, that…

Please note I've been doing 1600, not 1200, even though i have this in mind. I went to a nutritionist who told me to eat 1400 calories with my exercise of 10 hours per week.

Thanks for the suggestions. The nutritionist says that it's research based. I was previously on a 35% high protein that my personal trainer had me on, it didn't work for me. I am going to look into this more myself - the research. I eat no bread, cereal, desserts other than fruit, so all the usual culprits I've eliminated.…

TK, most recently my personal trainer had me on a very high protein diet, it didn't work for me, low carb too..My nutritionist recommends 20% protein 40, 40 carb and fat..going to try this now..the main thing is I'm going from about 2000 calories per day with 10 hours of exercise per week to 1365- 1600 (varying it is…

I will, thank you!

Thanks CA girl - I am doing many of the things you recommend and am now focusing on limiting calories after seeing a nutritionist. I exercise a lot all my life because I love to (hike, salsa dance, swim, weight lift and core strengthening, walking, biking) and all the calorie counters including this one give you extra…

Wow, what a tribute to all your hard work, hang in there, you will make it to the other side of the plateau and even more rewards to come...
