Why am I not loosing any more?

[Guest guest]

Hello All

So I have completed my first challenge and lost 41 lbs. I'm 5'9 and

started at 220. I'm now in week 3 of challenge 2 and lost one lousy

pound. I would like to get to 145 to 150 pounds before December.

I follow the workouts rather precise, but my eating is so-so. I stick

to more or less 1400 - 1600 calories, but my choices aren't always the

best. I think I'm overdoing my sugar intake a little and eating to

much salt. Does salt really make such a difference? (I'm working on

getting sugar completely eliminated...)

My meals might look like this:

1: Banana, milk, protein powder, pb,water

2: chicken, wrap, cranberries, pesto, little cheese

3: pear, protein of some sort - tuna or chicken usually

4: 1.5 chicken drumstick, broccoli, 1/3 cup rice

5: 1T pb

I have a sweet tooth and might have a french vanilla coffee (the

machine kind) instead of a carb somewhere. Those are very sweet. I

might also have a bite of my sons nutella or pb & j sandwich. Maybe a

small bite of my daughters full fat/full sugar yogurt. Ugh, or even a

activia yogurt with the pb in the evening.

So I guess this is the reason why I'm not loosing any more weight? Is

there anything else I can do?

I take 3 hydroxycut a day, CLA and a multi. What about creatine and

glutamine? Will that help?

Thank you!
