4. Monitor calories. I use a site: www.fitday.com
5. Make sure to take days off and give your body a rest
6. Try to vary your caloric intake - some days I am as high as 2700 calories and others I am more like 1500 - this roller coaster keeps your body from budgeting to a certain calorie intake.



I have battled with my weight my whole life...I am most successful at losing and maintaining that loss when I do exactly this! Switching up the activities is what helped me get passed the plateaus.
