    Yes, you may want to look into eating more food also. I'm eating 1800 calories a day working out 5 days a week at least and losing weight. I do kickboxing and running.

    You are going to get different results based on how you train. I am telling you that if you want to just lose weight then you need to buy a good food scale, track your calories better and reduce your net (more cardio or less cals) if you still do not like the results you are getting (get more realistic with what your results are gonna be). I suggest waiting 3-4 weeks before changing intake one way or the other so your body has time to adjust, MFP works on a 24 hour basis your body does not.

    If you follow suggestions to eat more and weight gain you will get different results. Not necessarily worse. Just different. I am not here to tell you how your body should look, I'm just telling you how to get there. You might be like this girl if you let other people project a body image onto you:http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1213558-overweight-because-of-fitness-program

    I wasn't telling her to eat 1800 calories. I'm suggesting she figure out how much she should eat based on her own statistics.

    No one's suggestion was to eat more and weight gain. Not sure where you're getting that from.

    And she didn't say she wanted to bulk YOU said she would in your statement of disagreeing. You cannot bulk up if you are eating at a deficit.

    I have friends on here who follow the TDEE method, strength train, and do cardio, and have lost 100+ lbs and they didn't bulk up by losing weight. They eat a good amount of food and still lose weight. Oh my, mind blowing I know.

    ETA: Oh and I wasn't projecting ANYTHING onto her. I'm providing her with info and links that may be helpful. You might actually want to take a look at them and read them before you just go off dismissing things.
