I tried to post something ot this effect yesterday but my computer bitched out... so if another thread like this somehow pops up I apologize! ANYWAY- Ive been a chronic yo-yo dieter for as long as Ive been in charge of feeding myself, and most of the time I'm able to stick with it for two months or so but then I get broke, or depressed, or its the holidays blah blah blah.... So now I'm getting back into shape hitting the gym hard for about 4 months now, but the damn scale WILL NOT BUDGE from 145! Im glad to be at 145 its an improvement from 160 but I'd like to get back down to my 'best' weight which is about 115-120 lbs (I'm 5'5"-5'6", big hips but otherwise pretty small frame I think). What gives? Ive hear that all the dieting on and off can make your metabolism take a nose dive. I'm eating about 1200 calorias a day (maybe less depends on how busy my day is) to try and get over this plateu and working out harder cardio wise so maybe thats making it worse? My diet is not as good as it could be but I'm very carb-conscious (I try to eat less then 25g a day, usually in the form of milk and my protein shake mix). How can I start losing weight again?! Sorry turned into a ramble but any advice helps! Thanks-![]()
