I have been losing slowly.....so slowly. I have read up another person's success by adding in MORE protein. I should have figured this out by now. I reviewed my sparkpeople.com records. I have found that I am staying in the 1500 range some days, which is not good. But, that I can make wiser choices by adding in more protein. If I have a salad with fat free dressing, throw in some sunflower seeds, etc. It makes sense. I have no idea why I have gotten away from protein. I aim for 60 each day, but some days I don't even get that. Others, try for at least 75. I'm curious, how much protein do you have everyday? Do you do better by counting calories, counting protein, or both?

I do both. I try to get in somewhere between 1,000 to 1,100 calories a day. Also, I try to focus on getting my required protein. I know that my body really struggled when I did not get enough calories. So, I increased them and the weight really did start to come off. I am at a plateau right now. However, this is the way my body works. It will stay "stuck" for about 9 days and then boom....I lose 3 to 4 lbs in 2 or 3 days. So, I just stay patient and wait for it to happen. Good luck on your journey!:rolleyes:
