I followed a 1560 calorie diet for 1 week. I weighed myself after the first week and there was no change. It was really easy, didn't feel much like I was dieting, so I decided to go for the 11/2 after a month diet. Now for three more weeks I have been having 1320 calories and I have gained 2 pounds!!!!!!!!!! Help me or I will give up! I even went hiking for 2 hours on the weekend and had 800 calories left that I didn't eat!!!!

    You could open your food diary up so that people can look at what you are eating and maybe give you some tips? :)

    Are you drinking enough water? Also with me I can't eat too many carbs so I limit those and only have small amounts and once a week of pasta, rice pototoes or bead. Good luck

    Same happening here. Just weighed in and gained two pounds. How much water are we supposed to drink? I took the H2O challenge but that was a lot of water for me. Also, I hear a lot of people talking about strick protein diets. I've lost 20 lbs so far but the last two days I've been hungry when before I wasn't. Maybe I need to post to see if anyone has some ideas what to do too? Good Luck.

    I try to drink 1 1/2 litres a day and if possible 2. Takes a bit to get use to but now it's automatic, I just keep topping my glass up and it also helps in limiting tea and coffee intake.
