Teachamy 1,042 Posted October 30, 2013 Are you eating enough calories for 120 minutes of exercise per day? I would check with my NUT if I were you. And I bet if you cut your exercise in half, you will start to lose again. 1 JoannLz reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoannLz 62 Posted October 30, 2013 I dont count calories or protien. But ya I know I'm not eating that much. I think that's what I'm going to do. Cut my exercise in half. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joatsaint 2,814 Posted October 30, 2013 Around the 6 month mark, I noticed I could easily eat more and got hungry more easily if I stuck with my old 1/2 cup portions. I occasionally get cravings, but only if I see a particular food. I was at work and someone brought in cherry filled donuts, as I walked past I started obsessing about eating one. Up until then, I never even considered eating a donut. I don't keep junk food in my house, so it's never a temptation. I've also noticed that I get hungry after exercise OR if I don't get enough sleep. In the past, when I was sleep deprived, I was always hungry. Eating carbs gave me a temporary energy boost, but only for a few hours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DianaE 128 Posted October 30, 2013 maybe you should monitor your caloric intake for at least a week.. You might be suprised at the #'s.. The least that will do is give you a line in the sand so you know what to try going forward.. I am a year out and still monitor my intake at least 95% of the time.. It personally helps me and keeps me accountable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JoannLz 62 Posted October 30, 2013 Ok so I started logging as of today and I guess I do under eat. Who would have thought. I'm only getting 300 calories a day after exercise. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
