A lot of people stall around six months out. How long since you've lost anything?

I did not lose an ounce my whole sixth month out. I increased my calories and my protein a little and then I went on to lose, oh, probably another 70 pounds.

For the last month I've lost a pound gained a pound and then a loose it again... and it's been going on like that... I don't know if I need to be doing something else besides eating healthy and working out. I'm still on my protein daily but I'm starting to get discouraged.

Yeah, that's a stall. They happen. Try upping your protein for a few days.

I'm going to try that... should I do anything else besides upping protein?

Make sure you're getting at least 64 oz of liquid. If upping the protein doesn't seem to help, then you can try upping the exercise. But I'd try more protein for a week or so and see what happens.
