cant lose anymore!..HELP!

prettynpink18 Posts: 3 Joined: 2005/04/24	2005/04/24, 11:55 AM Well, I've already lost about 12lbs, since December. I've been able to keep it off quite well, sometimes it slips up and sometimes a little down, but i basically STAY the same! I could watch what I eat a little more, but I don't eat all that much. I have a couple questions. .Is skipping meals really bad for you? I have no time for a good breakfast, is an apple/banana okay? and What about excersising? I work out alteast 3times a week, but I still feel like I'm not losing anymore. What can I do to start losing again? Pleaseee help. It'd be greatly appreciated :big_smile:

DO NOT SKIP MEALS! Its not that hard to throw together a pb and j sandwich, or whip up a quick bowl of ready oats for breakie. What is your exercise plan now? cardio? weights? a combination? remember that 1 lb of muscle burns 50 cals a day, so resistance training is essential to weight loss in addition to just cardio (i think thats the right stat.. :()
