    Can you provide some more information? What are your stats? How many calories are you eating a day and how are you measuring those calories? Have you made any changes to your diet/exercise routine in the past three weeks?

    That puts you in the ‘healthy’ range so you must be pretty close to your goal weight. Can you open your diary so we can have a look, please?

    28 pounds since January is very good. I started the end of January and I have lost 23. I am 5'3" and I am at 132. I have noticed that it is coming off slower now. I am doing everything the same and I have only lost .5 in a week. Before it was 1.5. We have to trust the process. Something I read yesterday clicked with me. "The scale weighs everything, not just fat". So while it may not go down there are other things it is weighing too. That helped me. Maybe we will see a whoosh in the next week or so.

    Good luck and keep up the great work!

    How much more weight are you trying to lose? You should be aiming for 0.5 lb/week at this point

    So should I eat more than 1200 calories a day and change the goal to losing half a week rather than 2

    I do weigh all those things. I was told not to eat all my exercise calories by a personal trainer as you end up over eating

    You logged them but they are not weighed in grams. It was just something I saw, weigh them or not, your choice.

    And MFP is NEAT method and expects you to eat back your exercise, at least a portion of them. Your trainer is not familiar with MFP and how it calculates your goals.

    You can try this, start eating them back and trend your weight over 4 weeks. The diet break/refeed is always an option later.

    From your diary:

    Do you use mapmyrun/walk for running/walking? How do you track what you do with your trainer??

    Those one the cals are on the packet. Yes I use it for both, only started that this week though. Only use trainer for nutrition advice as she’s a friend. Cost too much otherwise. I need to do more strength exercises I think as my tummy isn’t very toned so still feel chunky even though gone from size 14-10 . To me I look the same but others seee me different

    I mentioned about your fruits and veggies in my earlier post (apples bananas sweet potatoes). This was just a gesture and something I saw that might help you with your logging accuracy. Good luck.
