Taking Steps

So I have hit a plateau. I am unable to get past the 234 lbs. I have been going between 234 - 235. So now what do I do? How do you get past the plateau when you hit it? I have no clue. Here is what I am planning on doing. I am going to try something that does not make any sense to me, but I will try it anyways. I am a proud member of Curves. I love working out there. They have a 6 week challenge, so I am doing my own version of that.
The third phase to loosing weight is this
"Overview
Phase III is not really a diet. It is mostly eating. The objective is to raise metabolism back to pre-diet levels without regaining the weight you lost. The first few pounds that you lose when you diet are water weight. Your body dehydrates as it accesses stored energy, and it rehydrates when you begin to eat again.

Establish a low weight and a high weight that allows for a water weight fluctuation and a small amount of body fat.

If you want to raise your metabolism up to 2500 calories, you should begin to eat 2500 calories each day. If 2000 calories is a reasonable goal, then you must begin to eat 2000 calories each day.

After dieting for weeks, your daily metabolic rate may be as low as 1600 calories. You should expect to gain weight when you eat at least 2500 calories per day."

I think that I am willing to try anything to loose the weight. I am going to do this. So here is what I am going to do:
  1. For the next 3 days I am going to increase my calories to 25o0 to 2800 a day.
  2. The next 2 days after that I will be lowering back down to 1800 to 2000 calories.
I hope that this will help to boost my metabolism and help me loose the weight. I am going to eat the right things, and make sure that I loose the weight. I am crossing my fingers that this will work..... I am going to continue with my water and working out. Wish me luck
