I have been doing MFP for 30 days and I guess I am confused about the calorie intake and weight loss. I have been eating 1200 a day and busting my *kitten* at the gym and the scale is not moving. Somebody help!

Are you weighing all your solid food on a food scale and measuring liquid food in measuring cups/spoons?
You may be eating more than you think.

Yes and No. I measure all liquids but not weighing solids.

Only eating 1200 calories a day AND busting your *kitten* at the gym?? Obviously without knowing your height and weight its hard to tell if your under eating but I have a suspicion that you are.

You should definitely weigh solids. It is possible you are eating more than you think. Also what is your protein/carb/fat percentages? That could have an impact as well.

If OP was undereating she would have lost weight by now!

OP, try getting a decent digital food scale and weigh all solid foods you swallow.
I assure you that you will begin to lose.
Please recheck that 1200 calories is right for your present body weight and height.

ETA-you already started another thread on this same topic.
MFP rules state only one thread per topic.

Okay didn't know about the tread thing! Couldn't figure out how to delete it.
