brenda62 47 Posted September 12, 2011 believe it or not sometimes you need to up your calories to get the scale moving. Sounds bad, but it works. Good luck Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I plateaued and I exercise 6 days a week, yet I was only eating 1200 calories. I realized my deficit was away to big. I've been slowly upping my calories, 1400, 1500, now at 1600. Guess what it worked. Losing better than ever. Give it a shot, I was scared to do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jess55 97 Posted September 12, 2011 I'm not really upping anything in particular, but one think I've done is I have upped my Protein by adding in a Protein Drink. I also aged in a trail mix, so upped healthy fats in the form of nuts. I had been slacking on protein and only getting like 70 gm, no I try to aim for 120 minimum.
