So I have been sticking to my 1200 calories a day maybe a tad below for the past week and I was doing good on losing weight however I have gained weight for some reason as of yesterday. Its depressing and I was just looking for a little motivation. TIA :(

    My opinion Is your calorie intake is to low, and your body went into starvation mode, so watever you ate stored as fat which cause you to gain weight

    Is your tom near? Are you reataining water from eating too much sodium? Shanta may be right. How many calories are you burning a day through exercise? Remember this is a lifestyle not a race. Keep at it! So much of this is trial and error. Try upping your calories by 100-200 for a week and see what happens. Good luck- Cindy :heart:

    Drink lots of water. The body fluctuates during the month. You will probably wake up again tomorrow and be on target!

    It has only been a little over two weeks and I have lost 10 lbs and I feel great. I think anyone can do it if they put their minds to and you really really have to want it to achieve it.

    Good luck to everyone!:happy:
