Sort of frustrated again...should I make any changes?

same total weekly calories, just distribute them differently:

daily calories times seven, then you have the total, 2 very high calorie
days, then the rest divided equally, Lee

My thought would be that your metabolism's adjusted to your standard
intake. I've heard of several people who, on the Flex plan, would use 5
points every day of the week, making every day the same point value (and
thus approximately the same calorie value, to within 50 calories or so).
But this is a constant rate, and as such, lulls your body into a routine
that it gets comfortable with. So, they were doing everything exactly
right, technically, but after four or five months, their loss would
stall
out. Which sounds similar to your case.

I'd say, three days a week, consecutively, go up to 2000 calories from
your regular 1500. That will get your metabolism running higher to deal
with the extra intake, and then when you cut back down for the next four
days, it'll keep on keepin' on, and you'll (hopefully) burn off more
fat,
just in time for it to start slowing back down again, just in time for
you
to rev it back up again.

So that's my two cents. Which is like two and a half yen, which makes
it
sound at least a little better

The yen is dropping in value, isn't it? I'm glad my salary is paid in
dollars!

Thanks for your suggestion. I've heard that theory too. I don't know what
to
believe though. Half the people here say lower my calories. The other half
say to increase it. That averages out to not changing anything at all.

Anyway, I'm not going to change anything this week and see how things go
up
until Friday again and then possibly rethink...

I guess that we ARE all very differant as Doug & Chris have differant
ways than I have.I tried MANY times to count cals and I did Atkins diet
plus South beach but I'm now back to what works for me! I will struggle
FOREVER with weight issues but although I've gained through these past
few years I'm still lower than several years ago which was 269+ and I'm
with about 25 LBS to lose before I'm in my size 12s again.
