    ...i do eat between 1350-1400 and exercise off about 300 calories per day.

    If those numbers are accurate, weight will melt off of you. If it isn't melting off of you, there is something wrong with your logging.

    Day to day variations happen (and there's nothing wrong and a lot right with daily weighing) but over the course of a couple of weeks the trend needs to be clearly downwards.

    I am 6'0" and my BMR is 2,363.

    No, it's not, you're using the calculators wrong (common mistake on MFP). Use 1850ish as a starting point and go from there.

    How long were you eating at 1400ish (or 1700ish after eating back) and not losing? If you weren't losing at 1400 or 1700, you won't lose at 2000, unless the original level was only tried for a couple days or something.

    That's my morning laugh for today - weight loss is pure mathematics up to some magic point where a deficit ceases to lose weight and causes you to add it or maintain. LOL.

    Serious. I can easily eat that everyday and I'm practically half his size.
