It all still comes down to a calorie deficit. If your at a point where you can't afford to cut out anymore food calories from your diet, then try introducing some cardio maybe. Really need to know more about your situation. Like current diet, total calories, excercise, etc. -------------- She sits and wonders why.....no more.

I work out 3 times a week I always do about a half hour of cardio (not high impact though) and I run through a series of weights. At my gym its called the express line. It has one machine for each body part.

Try keeping your calories around 1500-1600 and eating 5-6 smaller meals a day like breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, snack. That and bumping our calories up to where they should be will speed your metabolism up and should start weight loss again. You really can't have that much variance in your daily calories. -------------- She sits and wonders why.....no more.

HEUERANDCOJEN Posts: 20 Joined: 2006/04/18	2006/04/18, 02:30 PM Can I accurately measure my body fat myself?

I know there are other sites that have them as well, if I remember correctly one is www.bodycomp.com. -------------- She sits and wonders why.....no more.
