MellioM 116 Posted August 29, 2012 How long have you been "stuck" at that weight? Do you track all of your calories? Do you use a heart rate monitor to calculate calories burned? I found that the machines highly over estimated the number of calories I burned. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shelly513 138 Posted August 29, 2012 You have to fool your body. A great way to do that actually is to change things up. Instead up your calories a bit... maybe 1600 for a couple of days then go back to the 1300 and change up your excersize routine also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! 12,703 Posted August 29, 2012 You may went to increase to 1500-1600 calories a day since you're a male, especially since you're working out. Have you been to a nutritionist? If not, I would. They can help you decide the right amount of calories you need a day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
