1,000 cal daily deficit-no loss

ericamarkwardt73

I have been maintaining an average daily deficit of 800 calories when taking into account the feedback from my fitbit. I have been getting a minimum of 10,000 steps per day (including light trail running with my kids)-I have received badges for 15k, 20k, (and 25k yesterday) and lifted weights but my weight and body fat % (using the fitbit aria scale) won't budge! I am a personal trainer so I have the knowledge and willpower to get me where I need to go-I just feel like I have exhausted all of my resources to get to the root of what is going on. Anyone have any ideas for me?
Back story: I have been overweight most of my life beginning around age 10 (with the exception of 4 periods of time lasting a couple of months before rebounding). I competed in a bikini competition a little less than 2 years ago and that is the last time I have been able to wrestle my weight into submission. I have tried recreating the means used to get to my most recent weight loss, but to no avail.

Just checking the basics here:

(1) Are you double dipping exercise and FitBit readings?
(2) Do you "eat back" all the exercise calories FitBit gives you?
(3) Are you weighing all your food and logging every day?
(4) How long have you been doing this, especially the lifting weights?

more than likely an issue of logging inaccurately;

if you do all this, then either your fitbit is off or it may be time to go to a doc and rule out any medical issues

How long have these deficits been running, and are they 800 or 1000? You've gained 50 lbs. in under 2 years?

You aren't eating that much of a deficit. Check your exercise calories. Check out the link provided in this thread.
