Should I increase my calories or what????

I am currently doing the C25K program & doing ST 2 times a week. I burn on average 600-700 calories a day working out(5-6 times a week). I eat 800-1000 calories a day. However the scale seems to be creeping up, even though my clothes are still getting bigger. I am just wondering if I should increase my calories to around 1200 or just stay where I am & see if this passes. I don't want to put my body in starvation mode.

Any ideas? PLEASE help. I'm getting a bit frustrated. Thanks!!!!

My doctor suggested 1200 calories a day.  I would up it for a week and see if you see movement.  I am only 3 months out but when I plateau I usually do a high calorie day and then see progress again.  Hope this helps!

Increasing intensity goes hand in hand with increasing calories.  Running is not always the best  tonic for weight loss, since it definitely has a negative impact on appetite.  I would suggest hitting a couple of spinning classes every week if you need to keep losing pounds.  It is easier to up the intensity in a class.  Good luck.

 Isn't that ironic rob?  If you would have told me I was going to gain 5 pounds training for the marathon this summer I would have thought you were nuts. Of course my fat% is way down so I'm happy :)  

The more I work out, the hungrier I get.

Just remember that if your workouts slack off, you need to be mindful of the calorie intake and cut it back.

Thanks for the responses.
I love running so I don't want to give that up. I have a spin bike so I think I will add that in the mix a couple of days this week & see what happens on Friday.

You guys are great!!! Best to you all.

 I am doing C25K too, and the scale has been stalled for about 3-4 weeks now!  Maybe that's why... Glad I found this thread.  I am doing about the same calories and burning the same amount.  Been benched this week by doc cause of another issue, but notice the scale promptly dropped 2-3 lbs, but it could be water weight.
