How can I lose weight quickly again? Lost 71lb, 40-50 more to go.?
I lost 71lbs so far. (55 the first three months and only 16 the last 2 and a half. It’s going slower and slower and even sometimes increases. Now, I know what everybody says; increase exercise, decrease food. Well, I keep at 1200-1250 a day (Sometimes is lower, but I try to stay away from starvation mode) and burn 750-1500 calories a day by using the rowing machine (on the tightest setting) step master, treadmill, stationary bike, some weights, I use my elliptical at home, I swim, run, walk for hours…. and the list goes on. And most of my stiff is cardio oriented so don’t say I gained muscle. (I do do some muscle oriented stuff though because having muscle increases your at rest metabolic state for burning fat..) What do I do???? I never ever have anything other than unprocessed foods such as fruits, vegetables, lean meats such as chicken breast…Salads have lemon juice for dressing with low fat cheeses (ex. goat cheese,low fat feta or laughing cow, etc) and include a form of protein, such as (carefully weighed) nuts and chicken. I never drink anything other than water. And don’t suggest I am not calculating my calories properly.. I am anal about it. Does any body have any suggestions? I’m even willing to take unorthodox suggestions such as several day fasting diet to speed up weight loss again.. I am desperate. People always assume you are doing something wrong, but what happens when you are doing everything right and it isn’t working? By rights, I should be losing 4-5 lbs a week or more and I’m just not. Sonetimes I lose nothing, sometimes I lose 2… sometimes 1… My BMI is at 30.5 ish.. I am getting so close (started at 40.9) to being not obese or overweight at all anymore. I just need the last push.
Oh, and by the way, I have 5-6 small meals a day with 8 cups of water and don’t eat a large dinner and have it before 6 or 7.
Jess: I already said I drinknothing but water.. soda isn’t even in my vocabulary.. and walking wasn’t doing it at all for me anymore so I had to go to the gyrm. I also always eat regular meals.
THIS IS WHAT I MEAN! People always ASSUME you are doing something stupid wrong. I GUARANTEE YOU that it is not something simple that is messed up here. I don;t eat any junk food or processed food or drink juice, soda or coffee. I just don’t!
ERIC: I am trying what you are saying and it has helped a little, but it doesn’t seem to help for long and the mentality of taking a day off really messes with my head. I find it very difficult. I try to vary levels but I find it hard to go above 1200. I don’t really know how to increase it that much. 
Ok, obviously the only one who read what I said is Eric.. so he gets the points.
The rest of you… what the hell? I don’t need to know how to cut calories or turn off sweet cravings… I have too low calories and never have sweets. Read the damn question before you answer.
Well, think about this. Your body always tries to reach homestasis. No matter what you do, over time your body adapts. So although you’ve made some changes in what you do, mostly you’ve still been doing more of the same. So what i’d suggest is that you get into routines with more variation. Take days off. Do more strength training and less cardio. Vary your diet, having some days be higher calorie days and some be lower. Do the same with carbohydrates particularly, have the amount vary significantly day to day. Have at least 1 cheat meal a week where you pay no attention whatsoever to the caloric content, and just eat and enjoy yourself.
Worry more about the mirror than the scale or a BMI calculator. In the picture I use here on yahoo answers, my BMI calculates to about 30…..

Fruits and vegetables are packed with beneficial fibers, vitamins and antioxidants. They fill up your stomach fast so you feel full earlier. They are also low in calories and helps to keep your calorie count low
One serving of pasta means 1/2 cup of cooked pasta. However, most restaurants serve a pasta dish with 4 servings of pasta!!! You do not need to finish and clean off the plate every time. You can simply ask to take home the leftover.

EAT BREAKFAST
Do not skip breakfast. If you need to go to bed a little earlier so that you can get up 20 minutes earlier each morning ?do it! Breakfast is so important to your good health and to weight control. According to Dr. Barbara Rolls a professor of nutrition at Penn State University, "Your metabolism slows while you sleep, and it doesn’t rev back up until you eat again."
Eating breakfast is not only good for overall weight loss, it will help you stay on track with your diet the rest of the day. You are more likely to binge on something sweet and in the read?group if you skip breakfast.
You can always keep a couple of hard-boiled eggs in the fridge or some high-fiber, low starch fruit around. If you plan to eat fruit at all during the day, breakfast is the perfect time to do it.

I’ve been one of those people that were chubby all my life. I tried every diet plan that came along. A couple months ago I saw a friend of mine that I han’t seen in over six months. She had lost over 40 lbs and looked amazing. I started following her plan and I’ve dropped 17 lbs in 3 weeks. You can read about her plan at http://ow.ly/1tU9a.
