I'm not here to gripe about a stall, but I would like to know if there's anything else I can do besides what I'm doing to break it and get back on track to lose these last 10-15lbs.
I'm tracking all my food on MFP, hitting on average 750-800 cal a day. Yet I've tried a day or two a week of up to 1000 cal, using mostly nuts or meat to up the calories not junk, the past 2 weeks to see if that would "jump start" it, but it didn't affect up or down. I'm getting about 60 g of protein in a day, 50-65 oz of water (rarely anything else- like, 5 oz 1xwk of diet peach tea or diet coke), eating "no" potatoes, grain, cereal, pastas, breads, etc. I take a womens multi vit everyday. I still have quite a bit of restriction, so I alternate most days with meat days, veggie days (being mostly meat with some veggie and vice versa) and low cal greek yogurt everyday, usually with a nectarine for a snack.
Mind you, I don't exercise much at all other than active housework and climbing my stairs everyday, and I walk 2 x a week for 20 minutes. Now that it's not 107 deg outside! I'd like to buy a bicycle with my next paycheck and start biking with my daughter.
I really can't figure out what else to do. I don't feel 'panicky' by any means, I just want to do the right things and not hinder any potential progress.
I am "happy" where I am, but I would like to lose a little more now for future wiggle room.
Anyone have a better idea?
