in Health and Weight Loss
I know I'm supposed to be patient with losing weight but it's so
difficult. I've dieted in the past and it was always in an unhealthy way.
So now I feel like I need to know if I'm doing everything right?
I really need advice, everytime I try to lose weight, I fail miserably.

Here's what I'm doing.. Just want to make sure my plans is right on point with
Weight loss.

I'm eating 1600 calories.. If I exercise I eat calories back.
I exercise 3x a week. I lift weights on those days as well.
I'm 5'2 and weigh 122lbs

MFP is set to 1/2lb per week and I use the active setting.

I spent the last two weeks on maintenance which was 2000 cals if that helps

    Your 5' 2" and your 122lbs. I myself, don't think you need to lose weight that sounds like a healthy weight! Take it from someone who is your height and weights 152 and in her late forties, you have no idea how hard it is to get to where you are now. I personally think you are at a good weight, but thats me at 152.

    yeah, 122lbs at that height sounds fine. If you're just looking to lose 3 or 4 pounds, you're going the right way. If you're looking to lose more, I'd be asking WHY?

    At your height and weight 5'2'' 122 you are at a healthy weight. If you do not like the way your body looks, ad some strength training exersizes to tone your body and replace your body fat with lean muscle. I like to use the Kettlebells, they work the whole body very quickly.

    Good luck
