Does responsibly upping calories always help with a plateau?
Hey, all. Little intro -- been MFPing since August 2011. Started at around 270; currently at 204, give or take a few. I'm 5'11". Had a lot of easy success early on -- some 40 lbs in the first 4 months, then 20 in the next 4, but since then, it's been a real struggle. I've been at this current plateau since April, and am…

So if you're 5'11 and weigh around 180 lbs, with a large frame (I went with the highest "normal" BMI…

Just wanted to say thank you!
I only just started MFP 12 days ago, so while I've lost 8 lbs (don't even ask how bad my diet was before I started keeping track -- I think I've cut my calories by at least half, if not more), I haven't had my own NSV yet. However, seeing the before/after pictures and stories you guys have posted is so amazingly…
