amysnow76 Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 I was on a very strict diet (Medifast) for 3 months, lost 30 pounds. I gradually transitioned off of that to counting calories, low carb, high protein, etc. During the transition period (the last 5 weeks) I started walking/jogging 5 or 6 days a week. Every other day I take it easy and fast walk while doing C25K. I haven't lost any weight during this time. I am eating between 1200 and 1400 calories. I still have 39 pounds to lose. Am I doing something wrong? I feel like I am giving it my all and nothing is happening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrishE Posted August 15, 2015 Report Share Posted August 15, 2015 It sounds like you hit a plateau. The dreaded plateau. Sometimes after losing a lot of weight your body will get used to the work outs and diet. Try switching it up. Start doing workouts you've never tried or start lifting weights. Building muscle is a great way to burn fat. Shock your body back into weight loss we've all been on that plateau. Dont lose heart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenettejones Posted September 15, 2015 Report Share Posted September 15, 2015 Go eat a Big Mac ONCE ONLY that will throw your body into shock but becareful not to cheat to much. Or get back in that habit. I have to shock my body that way. Once your body sees that crazy food it hasn't seen in a while it will confuse it and then back to losing weight again for you. Good luck.

KellyAnn Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Hi There, As a Fitness freak for many years and staying away from ANY DIET, Problem with meal replacement shakes, meal programs, etc..., is you cannot subsist this way. Once you stop doing it, your body will think itis in starve mode.. I am all for what Jenettejones says about cheating. Give yourself one big cheat day and trust me, you will not gain weight at alll.. It will do quite the oppsite to your body. I help a lot of people with weightloss and I AM NOT PROMOTING THIS FOR SALE::: But this is my favorite "diet" - I say Lifestyle change ", is the book Called 4 HOUR BODY.. My hubbie and I do this one a lot. WE feel great and weight loss is crazy fun! WIth one big cheat day. I could do this one for the rest of my life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Also, PALEO is great. Keep your Protein high and your carbs low. Right now, hubby and I need to lose a few lbs., so we are back to the 4 hour way... WE usually cheat from Friday night to Saturday afternoon, then we eat good again.... WE do not gain weight with this at all..... Anyways, keep me posted ... Here for you! Hugs!
