54 days in and for some reason have stopped losing weight. Trying not to get discouraged!! I will not stop!! I'm staying at or below 1200 cal. A day and walking 3 miles a day!! Not sure what's going on!! Any suggestions??

How long have you been stuck?

Don't get discouraged. You've lost 13 lbs in less than 2 months, that's awesome. Don't go below the 1200 calories there is no need to and it may encourage you to binge if you get too hungry. You're doing great and you've hit a plateau. Just keep doing what you're doing and try not to get too discouraged if you hit a few week bump in the road

My standard suggestion/tip is to do some reading.

Try the USDA site as a cross reference for nutrition values of different food diary entries.

By the way, if I haven't found an entry that lists the grams, I keep looking for a different entry. This ( Most Food ) item is already listed a bunch of times. Better to edit and correct one that is already there than add to the database mess that exists now.

My personal Bias is to use grams ( 100 gm ) as it makes the math easy especially when you use a scale and WEIGH EVERYTHING. Not 2 tablespoons ( 32 gm ) just use the values from the product label and confirm it with the un-biased nutritional information from the USDA web site at 100 gm.

Hya, I feel the same at the moment I seem to have stopped losing weight or its slowed right down but I'm doing everything I was doing if not more exercise and a lot cleaner eating. Don't get discouraged keep up the good work.
I wonder if there is any real reason behind it good luck x
