Hi!!!
My name is Jenn and I am excited to have found this site and I hope that you can help me...
In 2008, I started my weight loss journey at 200lbs. I created my own diet plan and began working out with several different BeachBody programs and was able to lose 85lbs in 8mo! I am currently 28yr old, 5'1" tall and weighing in at 122.5lbs with 20% BF.
My issue is this....I am still not happy with the way that I look. I would really like to get down to aprox 115lbs and 15-17% BF but for the past several months, I have hit a wall and haven't dropped a 1lb. I was searching to the BeachBody message boards and I was advised that the 1900cal a day I was eating was not enough to lose weight, that I needed to increase my calories to get over my plateau. Below is a typical daily diet(this is what I have come up with-an approx 100-200cal increase over my old plan):
4:30am-5:30am Workout
6:30am 1/2scoop whey protein, 6oz Dannon Light N Fit yogurt, apple
9am One part skim string cheese, pear, one multi grain Wasa cracker
11am Banana and 2oz unsalted almonds
1:30pm One Perdue Perfect Portions chicken breast with 4cups baby spinach, 1/4 cup carrots, 1cup cauliflower no dressing
4pm 1/4 steel cut oats mixed with water and 2cups strawberries
5pm-5:45pm workout
6pm Lean cuisine(not the best but pressed for time) and 1.5cups steamed broccoli
8pm 100cal bag of Smartfood popcorn
According to fitday.com:
2,085cal
66.3fat
276.7carbs
115.2protein
I was told I should be able to lose weight with this diet, but all I feel is bloated and full, I never feel hungry enough to eat.
I should also note that I work out 7days a week(I love it!!)
Any ideas what I am doing wrong???
