Need to stop losing.... NOW.
Im afraid of stopping working out b/c I need to do weights to build mass. Maybe I should stop any cardio? I do the bike for 15 min and that burns about 100 cal, I dont feel comfortable burning anymore than that, but my trainer says that I need the cardio to warm up for the weights.
If i could just put a panel together that will come up with the magic answer Id be really happy about that!
I was in the same place-
I stopped exercising
I added more fruits
Started drinking wine with dinner.
It worked.
FYI: adding more fat - like nuts - made me full faster and longer - and I started dropping weight.
You can stop weight loss by adding carbs - not fat. ie. add fruits to your shake - or have grapes with cheese - some toasted bread with PB, full fat milk , etc.
Wine did it for me. Just be careful with that.

my fave:
fruits (berries) + whipped cream as a dessert
Apples with PB (very filling)
I eat 1 heaping teaspoon of PB or almond butter with my coffee... (i can not eat much in the morning) - adds calories and fat at the same time ...eat that slowly...
brie cheese + some crackers (more cheese less crackers lol or just cheese... )
home made trail mix: nuts + dry fruits (as a snack - small volume, yet - lots of calories per oz)
That way - if I have a "big pouch day" - I can add veggies or salad - and feel good without adding calories.
Shake no good? - how about protein ice cream- ?
