What do I do? I can’t lose weight! I’m 11st 7 and reasonably active. I eat around 1,500 a day sometimes 2,000. Getting married and need to look beautiful

If you are getting married, I bet you're already very beautiful. Everybody can lose weight, in fact, everybody loses weight the same way, by consistently eating fewer calories than they burn. MFP should have given you a calorie target. If you hit it, every day, for real, and for a long enough time, you lose weight.3

@kommodevaran...Thankyou! I have been logging and have lost 3lb so far (and that’s just with diet). I’m getting back to the gym tomorrow2

Weight loss takes place primarily in the kitchen.
#1 weight loss tool is a food diary. To keep a good diary, you need a food scare and you need to use it. You’ll soon find that to hit your calorie target you need some kind of plan for the day and week.
#2 weight loss tool is perseverance. This includes the willingness to problem solve through the rough spots.

Be aware, @lliinnsseeyy, when you go back to the gym, your muscles will likely retain water for repair and you will see a jump on the scale due to the water weight. Just keep at it, and it will come off once your muscles get used to the new exercise.3
