If you lower your fat intake slightly and/or your calorie intake it can help your body start losing again! Of course at the same time, if your calorie intake was too low when you were losing the weight your body may need more to start losing again rather than less! I would talk with a dietician because they are best suited to tell you what needs adjusting to start the weight loss again! Also changing your exercise routine can help as well. Just how your body can get used to what you put in it it also can get used to the exercise you do. You may need to add a new form of exercise in with your regular routine once or twice a week. For example, if you walk 2 miles every day add some weights to your workout and/or ride a bike for 2-3 miles once a week instead! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Are you certain that you really need to lose the 30 lbs? Sometimes we don't realize we are already at our body's healthiest weight. I know another time when I was a healthy weight I still felt fat. Looking back at my size and weight I know realize that I was within 10 lbs of my ideal weight, but I thought I was still about 40lbs overweight. Debi still need to lose 30 > lbs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
