[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it helps, I recently lost 3 or 4 lbs by eating around 1250 calories a day (with my normal strength routine of 5 days a week) for 3 weeks. I originally was going to raise calories by 100 every week until 1550 ish to maintain.  I was able to easily raise calories to 1350 (was very hungry).  Surprisingly, at around 1450 to 1550 calories, I've been feeling ... Full?  So for the past 2.5 weeks I've eaten around 1450 to 1550, and not really fully going to 1550 as previously planned.

At this current stage of 1450 to 1550, I've been able to maintain my weight loss as planned and I haven't been too hungry.  I also have been feeling more energized during my workouts and hopefully this means I can up my caloric intake even more.

Maybe instead of raising calories day by day, try going up 50 or 100 for a week before going up again, so your body can adjust to the new amount.[/quote]

But what was your starting height and weight to begin with? The more you weigh the easier it is to lose a couple pounds. For people with a leaner body composition it’s much harder to lose weight. It’s always that last few pounds that are the hardest—the vanity weight. [/quote]

I'm 110 lbs and 5'3. I have visible abs and I've acheive vanity weight status (for myself anyways).[/quote]
