dianne e 0 Posted June 29, 2008 I am making fairly good progress...a little over sixty-five pounds in eleven months. But I seem to have hit another plateau. How do I rise above the dreaded leveling off. I have at least another forty to go. I have started exercising in earnest the last month -- cardio and weights. But I seem to be standing still. Any suggestions on daily caloric intake? Should I stay away from sugar, salty treats? I allow myself a bit of chocolate now and then, some potato chips. I want a realistic life style. My earlier efforts were too much like being in a monastery. I think complete abstinence from some "goodies" is asking for trouble. My doc says to stay at 1000 C. I am fully committed to going all the way. Something I have never done with my many prior efforts. Dianne E. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
