Sometimes there is a plateau as your body adjusts. 1200 kcal/d may be too low and your body goes into a conservation mode, decreasing the idle speed (so to speak). Change your cardio to INTERVAL training. High intensity, short duration workouts. Run 400m as fast as you can, then walk 400m active recovery. Repeat for 30 min. Boom! Tabata work (20 sec as hard as you can, 10 sec rest, repeat for 8 sets each exercise): jump rope, pushups, sit ups, air squats. Challenge your muscles! That is the metabolically active tissue (i.e. burns while you sleep). Measure circumfrence of waist, hip, thighs, chest. Hard to do calipers on yourself (best is someone very experienced doing skinfolds, takes a lot of practice). As we age we lose muscle mass, leading to decreased basal metabolism, so we have to work harder to get the same results that someone younger gets with the same workout. mrs svc (registered dietitian, sports & weight mgmt, crossfit enthusiast)

I actually just had some extensive blood work drawn yesterday and am awaiting the results. I did get my thyroid checked 6 months ago also, but thyroid disease runs in my family so I do it often. I also am eating my meals and snacks at the right times of each day. That took me a while to master, but it's working for me now. Appreciate your replies very much, ...I will work on my attitude tonight. :) Oh, I've been told anything under 1000 calories a day is too little and most of the websites I am registered with suggest 1300-1500. I'm so petrified to 'gain' I compromised in the middle, maybe I am wrong. I should try a week of raising it. eek.

With severe caloric restriction, your metabolism actually slows down, with your body saying, in essence, "I need to conserve here". I could be wrong on this, but it might be something you want to look into. Also, I've found eating, grazing, high quality foods all day long is the best way to fuel and stoke my metabolism, and avoid those "low blood sugar" moments. A trip to the doctors for that thyroid/metabolic inquiry might make some sense, if only to scratch that off the list. Be wary of the Hydroxycut type "miracle" metabolic burn supplements - google around on the side effects. There is no easy path here, I'm afraid.

Make shure that U weigh yourself properly.. a) weigh each morning after you do number 1 and 2 b) buy caliper and measure you body fat in 3 different spots - side breast, belly button and middle of the tigh c) calculate your body fat% and lean body mass go to youtube and see this video watch?v=FI8oMdj54ns I advise you watch all of his movies. then go to his webpage scoobyworkshop and check out fitness tools and calculators he also has an Excel worksheet to help you track your body fat %. I went down to 20% and my weight did not change that much. You lost average 1lb / week which is recommended by physicians. You are doing good..remember good things happen to people that are patient.

User Details are only visible to members.	thank you SexyCpl, and welcome to the forums! :) Yes, my workouts are mostly with weights. They are 3 super sets of 2 exercises, 3 reps of each. Sometimes they include crunches, lunges, planks and are without weights. Different every week, just the same muscle groups on the same days. My cardio on the 3 other days is mainly walking fast and increasing running on treadmill, and pool aerobics. Adding walking can't hurt. Perhaps 45 minutes 5-6 days a week is not enough. I didn't know muscle weighs more than fat, I guess that must be happening a little. Its getting harder to stay motivated without seeing significant results though

User Details are only visible to members.	Are you lifting weights? I didn't see where you mentioned any lifting. I'm not talking about aiming for bulky muscle mass, but rather lifting with the goal of creating long/lean muscle mass (lifting lower weights and higher numbers of reps). That lean muscle eats fat, and tones you from the inside out (tones under the dermis/fat layer). This is what makes you start to look better. Your focus on the number on the scale is creating, it seems a hang up, and a negative feeling. Remember, the same cubic size of muscle weights more than fat, so you can actually be gaining weight yet looking more lean. To look better, imho, you'll need to lose fat, yes, but also gain lean muscle. You should also consider a concerted program of core exercises, and flexibility work. On "off days" try to take a nice walk - even 20 minutes of brisk walking will do wonders if done regularly. You sound earnest and very interested in making gains, and there has to be a key somewhere to unlock you from your plateau and frustrations. You might also want to have a physical where you ask for a thyroid function test, and ask you doctor about any other metabolic testing that might be warranted. Please note I'm not any expert here, but have picked up some basic, simple, good advice over the years that works for me. Your clean diet is a step in the right direction. A nutritionist might have good thoughts, too. Good luck!

User Details are only visible to members.	I started a weight loss program almost 5 months ago and my results have been slow and well, pretty discouraging as far as I am concerned. I started out counting calories (1000-1200), eating at the right times, and balancing my protein, complex carb, and good fat intake. Also 3-45 minute workouts with a PT a week that kicks my ass. I only lost 14 pounds in 4 months. The last month I have not lost a single pound, even though I have added 30-60 minutes of cardio each week, and have really Cleaned up my foods and now include almost all superfoods (so 'they' say, which will be my next thread) and some SWG. (Protein 100-130g, Good carbs 60-75, good fat 20g) That didn't make a difference, so I recently started concentrating on more protein, and no grains at all. (trying carb cycling first) My question is .... what could I be doing wrong not to be seeing any results? Yes my body has changed a little, yes, people say I look 'better'. But I am basically in the same clothes, (and they are looser) but I can't bare seeing that scale never move at all! I recently re-measured too and that showed I got bigger!! Now maybe there are bigger muscles under there.... and the tape measure is not being placed where it was the first time, but really.... how much can a girl who's trying this hard take I ask.... lol. My next thread will be about supplements to aid in weight loss.... I am very confused about what ones to start with. Everything I read says something different!
