    Can you open your diary?

    It's smart to go slow and sustainable. One difficulty with that approach, however, is it takes longer to see scale movement and progress can be hidden in normal weight fluctuations. Are you using a trending app? Or a rolling average or some other tool for seeing through the fluctuations?

    I'm one of those "sad" ones at 1200 cals. I'm 5'4" and 50 years old. I started a year ago at 148 and am down to 134. It's about a pound a month. Slow, but pretty steady. I'm eating cake fairly often-YOLO. I bumped up to 1500 but the scale didn't budge. I don't do heavy lifting, but moderate cardio/weights/walking. I eat back some exercise cals after a hard workout. I'm with everyone else about lowering your cals a little. Make sure your macros aren't whacked out (eat more protein?) and drink lots of water. It's hard to tell without seeing your diary. Seeing a nutritionist isn't a bad idea. Good luck and don't stop moving!
