    Are you asking for suggestions on your weight loss or the headaches?

    What is your height and weight? How many calories are you eating? How long have you been dieting and how much weight have you lost so far?

    You need to find a way of eating that you can sustain for a lifetime. For some people its keto, for others its low carb. For most people its eating the foods you love in moderation and watching your calorie intake.

    A lot of people have to try different things to find what works for them. Be patient, explore your options, take your time to find the right fit.

    As for exercise, I would give the same advice. Find what you love to do, whether its walking, running, biking, weight lifting, boxing--whatever you love.

    Good luck!

    You joined MFP last year? Have you been utilizing the meal diary?

    Did MFP give you 1410? what information did you give (how much do you weigh, what activity level did you pick and what rate of loss did you pick)?
