If you hate tea you can buy it in pill form or even powder form. Its an excellent appetite suppressant

i already do most of the things on that list. only thing is, green tea makes me vomit. i tried the green tea capsules and they make me sick too. i also take one a day weight smart which has green tea extract in it and i seem to be able to handle it ok. i have been stuck at 150 for a while it seems. but maybe i have lost inches and not pounds....*runs to look for tape measure*

ps: my appetite suppressant is fiber+protein so for lunch i eat can of tuna in water and eat 2 fiber tablets and a 17 oz bottle of water. it usually keeps me satiated for several hrs.

plateau?

i am at a standstill with my weight loss. i lost 30 pounds. do i need to do more exercise than what i have been doing? i kickbox three days a week and walk or ride bike 5 days a week from 20-40 minutes. i know that i need to watch my food intake more because i haven't been really. i know how many calories i take in which is fine but i haven't really been watching how i get those calories. i am wondering if im not answering my own question here..lol..more exercise i think and watch the forms of food i am taking in and not just the calories.. am i right?

i think that would help... more calcium like yogurt would be good - evidently it's supposed to help with weight loss... Also, if you haven't been using any extra vitamins or weight loss supplements, you could try something like One a Day Weight Smart or whatever to give you a little boost and get you over the hump.

Your body has adapted to the workouts and the diet. Change everything up, have a few hundred more calories per day for a month then change it back down to what it is now, for the diet calorie cycling is a must. And for the workouts change up the intensity, maybe go an even shorter amount of time but really push yourself, or try HIIT. Weight lifting(in my opinion lol) is more important than cardio, if your not doing weight lifting your hurting your weight loss more than you would think. Your doing cardio 8 times weekly, thats a lot lol. I would recommend cutting out the walking or riding bike and replace it with some sort of resistance training, or if you just like the walking and riding bike, resistance training is the key. Stay in the 10-12 rep range and drink lots of water.

I weight lift, and it's helped me immensly! Muscle will burn the fat, and even though it weighs heavier than fat itself, it's a lot thinner. The more muscle you have (every pound of muscle burns 300 calories more a day), the more fat and calories you'll burn.

Try weight lifting, and maybe add a new kind of cardio, maybe Tae Bo. You do kick boxing, so maybe try Tae Bo Cardio (which is what I'm using). Or even HIIT, if you like to walk (interval training, I'll have to hunt a link down for you, if you want one) or run, I tried it out today and boy howdy it's a nice workout.

I also recommend doing a food journal so that you'll see what you really are eating. Bodybuilding.com has a nutrient database that can give you fat, cal, prot,and carbs for almost everything. Weight training should have more emphasis then just the cardio and the HIIT cardio is a great calorie burn plus you burn at a higher rate for a while afterwards

Busting through that plateau...?!?!?!!

Okay, figured I'd open this one up to the whole crew as some of you have been so kind to offer some suggestions....I am stuck! Not sure if it is a full blown "plateau" or a break but regardless, I need to rev up my metabolism, trick my body, eating plans or something to get that scale moving again....so, questions for you:

How have you gotten yourself out of 'plateau mode'? What has worked the best? Any weird tricks you've read/heard to confuse that metabolism?

Figured this may help more than just me so any posts are very very welcome!!!

current status for me is: cardio (change of intensity/duration - mostly elliptical in winter 4-5 days / week), 3 days strength training, 1 day yoga, eat average 1150 calories per week and track 'em on fitday.com, take those vitamins and calcium supplements and drink at a minimum 65 oz of water per day...

HELP? IDEAS? Thanks in advance.

Oh, also, some advice that i've gotten so far -wondering if it has worked on anybody:
1) exercise twice per day (not sure if my schedule will allow that)
2) more protein

i'm drawing a blank...i d love some guidance.

Bjorksparkle is a splendid one to behold
But I eat more than 1150 cals. My nutritionist said that's not healthy. Maybe I should cut down? I need to break my plateau...

so you eat MORE than 1150 calories and then you are told it is not healthy? Are you sure they mean you should be eating more and not so little?
