Stuck
I've been using Fitclick since Jan 23 & have lost 15 lbs. but for the last few weeks I've lost nothing. I have started exercising way more & I still am not loosing. I keep my cal. around 1300 a day,should I drop my cal. intake lower or what? Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

inches
Dont drop your calories any lower than 1200 or your body will actually freak out on you. Sounds like if you are working out alot you may be losing just inches instead of weight. Muscle mass weighs more than fat. Take measurements and see if that is where you are losing, if not you may have to make some small dietary change to keep it going.

Re: Stuck
Congrats on losing 15 lbs!
First if you are excericising more, you should be increasing your calorie intake not lowering it. You don't have enough calories for your body to burn and your metbolism is slowing down because of it. Try adding some more healthy foods like fruit, veggies and protien. In general, women should not eat fewer than 1,200 calories a day and men should not eat fewer than 1,500. If you consume less than this, you may not be giving your body the fuel and nutrients it needs to stay healthy, which might be stalling your weight-loss. Consuming too few calories can force your body into starvation mode, causing it to hold onto fat and even slow your metabolism. Try adding another 200 calories to your daily diet or easing up on your workouts to see if this jump-starts your weight loss.
