    Hey so I was at 1500 cals for 2 pounds a week weight loss but I have barely lost any weight. Do I have to go lower than 1500? I know I have a couple of high calorie days but my average each week has been pretty much on target. Attached is the breakout of my last 90 days.

    Your graph explains a lot.

    If your -2lb per week goal gives you a calorie intake of 1500 per day, then that means that each time you eat over 2500 calories in a day, all of those extra calories will begin to undo the deficit that you've worked on.

    So it's great that you've lost some weight over this time, but not really surprising that you haven't been reaching your -2lb per week goal if you haven't been logging accurately.

    I was going to say that same thing. The number of times you are not simply over by a little bit, but by a great deal added to the potential errors in logging, pretty much explains what is going on.
