if you read my other messages you would know i was fretting over how slow my losses had gotten, and how few calories i was taking in.

well yesterday i made sure i drank PLENTY of water (100 oz!) and i ate every 3-4 hours, 1700 calories (to meet my bmr, as previously i was eating only 900-1200).

this morning i wake up, expecting to have gained weight from eating so much only to see the scale is almost near 195. i couldnt believe it! i dont know how this is possible but it is, i checked a few times!

so if you are plateuing it is IMPORTANT to eat at least your bmr AND drink gobs of water - if you arent peein several times a day youre not drinking enough!

bacon and pork rinds are my new secret weapons .

great news Wooo

nothing makes me madder than those who say starvation mode doesnt exist If youve experienced it yourself its a different story !
personally I have to keep up to 1600..... but below 1800.

Pleased for you !

Congratulations - my experience is identical, I let my food intake and calories drop low because I wasn't hungry and ended up gaining 6 pounds, I've really upped my fat and amount of food along with the water and dropped those 6 plus a few more for good measure

That's great! I'm glad that the scale is moving for you again.

I am so happy to hear that the scale is fnally moving again for you. Keep up the good work.

LOL! How about several times an hour?

And congrats on the weight loss!

Congrats to you!!

are you useing the just basal figure or basal figure with lifestyle figure to get calories.

WOW!!! Congrats!!! Hope that happens to me...I'm at a stall now (I've only lost 1# in 2 weeks). But I have no idea where my calories should be at. I have been staying anywhere between 1200-1800...which is a pretty wide range!
