    Have you been weighing your solid foods and measuring your liquids?
    If not, you are probably eating much more than you think you are, could easily be as much as 50% more. so that 1200-1400 may actually be 1800-2100, if not measuring accurately.

    Hello Eric, I never weighed my food.I only used measuring cups.Do I need to buy a food weighing machine?Does it really make a difference? Thank you for your advice.

    yes it makes a different :)

    Look at this short video for example

    I'm down 34.6kg in a few days over 6 months. I don't credit exercise with much/any of it. I do credit the digital food scale though :-)

    It's really easy to create recipes on here too, especially if you tend to eat the same foods like our family does. Load it once and it is ready to go each time you eat it.

    I'll give you 1 tip I found helpful - log all spices, garlic, onion, broth, etc ... those little things that we don't think add up. I've been eatin 1700 calories and normally don't eat my exercise points and I've lost 7 pounds in 3 months - which is great for me as I have thyroid and adrenal issues! I do exercise, but nothing hardcore as I'm nursing a back injury. Usually just walking 10 to 12,000 steps per day through the course of my day.

    Don't think you have to starve to lose weight, just find what works for you over time, but your mom is right - as long as you are losing you are doing the right thing.
