I was wondering if anybody could offer me some advice on getting my weight loss shifting again. I have lost just over two stone so far and have another two stone to go. I haven't gone over on points on Core (the 21) and I have earnt fourteen points through exercise. I haven't used any of these (might be the problem).
My weightloss at the moment seems to be stagnating. I am inclined to say that I don't need to eat less because I stick within the points and I am in the gym 3/4 times a week doing intense workouts. I can't decide whether I need to reduce my calories further or actually if my metabolism has slowed due to not actually eating enough.
I am well aware of the effect of 'starving' yourself will reduce your metabolism. I don't think I have cut down THAT much though.
I also do make sure I drink plenty of water and green tea and have cut out coffee and caffeinated carbonated drinks (the zero cal variety).
Well anyway, I was just wondering if anybody had experienced this and how the heck can I kickstart my metabolism again? I feel at a bit of a loss, as I don't know whether to up my calorie intake or reduce it. Any help would be appreciated.
