From: Not enough calories?

This is me to the "t"..... Cannot seem to get the weight off. I lose a week .... Stall for three weeks.... The lose a week..... Stall for three. I think it is because I am not getting enough calories as well. I am exercising but maybe need to step up the frequency. I am really frustrated......HELP! Anyone with suggestions? I am a big girl so I should be losing faster.

My NUT (love calling her that) said that my weight loss would look like stair steps on a chart. From what you have described this is happening to you as well. I eat between 600-800 calories a day and exercise about four times a week (elliptical, mowing grass, cleaning house, walking etc). You may need to experiment by eating a few more calories to give you extra energy to be able to workout more. I found that changing (not necessarily making it harder, just changing) my exercise routine helped when I felt stuck. Our bodies are very adapt at wanting to store energy and by changing your exercise routine you can jump start your weight loss. Drinking more water will help, as well. Good luck!

bridget, my experience is about the same as yours...eat between 600-800 calories and exercise level about the same...I will try your suggestions as well
