I'm 25 years old (as of Saturday!), 5'6" and I'm stuck (for the last two weeks) at 160 pounds. I started at 185 and lost regularly and quickly while eating 1500 calories. (I eat 3 meals, 2 snacks, mostly whole foods, occasional restaurant choices. I track absolutely everything that I eat.) I don't do calorie cycling on purpose really, but my daily counts for the last month average to exactly 1500. I'm full and satisfied with my 1500.
I go on at least a 15 minute walk every day after work with my pup. I also do two or three days a week of more intense exercise - either an hour of soccer with the boys or 2 mile runs with the pup. I work a very sedentary job - sit at a desk for 8 hours a day.
I hit a weight loss halt 2 weeks ago - I'm actually kind of amazed, Wii Fit keeps telling my I have a 0.0 loss, how is that even possible!
So I've read a lot on 3FC and sometimes we tell people to go up on calories when they hit a plateau and sometimes we tell people to go down on calories. How do you decide which one? Any suggestions as to what I should try?
