If you're plateauing you need to kick things up a notch (I sound like Emeril! )

Adjust your caloric intake and exercise intensity. That'll work.

Re: its official.... i have plateaued! argh.....

oh my.... i did that last week to no avail. i'm on WW so i eat at the lowest end of my point scale. and i exercise 1-2 times PER DAY! sooo frustrating! let's hope one more week of this intensity will break the plateau!

If you're exercising 1-2 times/day, then you should be eating at the HIGHER end of their point scale. (How many calories is this by the way?) You don't want to under-fuel your body. It slows down your metabolism.

Re: its official.... i have plateaued! argh.....

no idea how many calories - i let the computer figure it all out for me. i eat tons of veggies (which in WW land are essentially no points) and have changed my regular cereal to a higher-protein, higher-calorie one to give my body more energy. i guess i'll give it one more week... after that, i may get desperate!

thanks for your support annie. i appreciate it.

Is it possible that you are gainin muscle from all the exercise you are doing? Are you losing inches?

Re: its official.... i have plateaued! argh.....

it could be muscle. and i just realized that aunt flo arrives tomorrow... so perhaps it was pms weight. i'll give it one more week before i resort to drastic actions!
