Thanks everyone! I decided what could it hurt and experimented for a week on 900 calories, good- for -you foods but more, making sure i ate every 3 hours or so and the scale moved!!! I will check next week when i have my 1 year check up to see where he thinks i should be with the calories, but if I keep losing with the added calories then that is what i will do!!!

So It's a year later...I'm down 130lbs...i have came so far in one year,however my worry is at my 6 month check up my Dr said to stay in the 600 calorie range (im assuming because i started at such a high weight and have so much to lose)...i lost most of my weight within the first 7 months,had my checkup in late november...december and january i lost NOTHING even though i stayed at 600 calories and 70 grams of Protein a day and i work out at least 4-5 days a week for an hr and try to do at least 3miles...february and march i lost a few more but stayed at minimal carbs ( i have realized i will never be able to have many)...April i would bounce between a pound or two and go back and forth for a couple weeks then finally lost 4lbs....its been so frustrating!!! I have read many times to not change what you're doing(calories and exercise) so I dont, I upped my calories by 200 a couple times to try to get things going and I started doing more at the gym....I have my 1 year check up next week and hoping he can help me, I can't help but wonder if Im hurting myself more by staying at 600 calories, when I read on here most people are at least 800-1000 calories a day....are others having this same problem? I just want to start losing again and of course my worst fear is how can i be doing what I'm supposed to be and not getting anywhere...surely it can't be over???!!!

Pretty In Purple I use the "Seamless Cinched Cami Plus" at catofashions.com ....the majority of my weight is in the middle and it works miracles, not uncomfortable and holds things in lol they are $11.99...they also have the underwear too but i just stick to the cami...hope this helps =)

Thanks, I hope so too! So each time you up your calories do you start losing again? I guess it can't hurt much to try, I just have a feeling I've been at the same calories and stuff for so long that my body is used to it and doesn't do anthing...i dont gain but not losing much either...however while not losing lbs i have lost a couple pant sizes, but seeing it on that scale would help the anxiety i have over it!
