I had only lost 10 pounds and was on a plateau for a months. I was so discouraged. I do have medical issues though. As I was due, I spoke to my endo doctor. She said 1000 a day. Most of the time I have done that, no exercise really and I am 60. I am now losing about 1.5 pounds a week. As far as starvation, it is a myth. Please need to speak to a doctor and do the research on it. Be patient. I still believe it is calories in, calories out. There is no trick to losing. Read success stories on here. It is a matter of opinion, but I don't eat my calories from exercising back, rarely eat processed food, pizza, candy fast food. I think a lot of is eating healthy. it is not eating garbage. I have seen a lot of people stay under and eat 5 candy bars. You will get out of this. It takes time and you are doing well. Patience.0

Thanks for the tip. I have been struggling with a plateau and was terrified of cutting below 1200.

Keep in mind cutting will increase muscle loss. Has you tried upping your calories. This is what the op did and it worked. Keep in mind as you get closer to your goal you have to decrease your deficit as your body will fight to hold onto calories more.0
