Hi!
I'm having the same problem! I'm very active, workout 2-3 times a week for about an hour each time doing strength training/cardio, and I've been sticking to the 1200 calorie a day for about a month. Sometimes I go over. Sometimes slightly under. Almost always eat my excercise calories. I'm eating really balanced healthy meals, as far as I know. Aside from skipping a few logs, I've been pretty good about it. Weirdly, I haven't lost any weight or inches in this last month. I feel great and Im healthy; I'm not overweight by any means, just trying to lose 5 lbs and tone up! But I'm still frustrated that with very few French fries and absolutely no ice cream for a month, I am exactly the same weight as when I started! I am 5'4" and 118 lbs. I'm intrigued by people on here saying to eat more! Wondering if that's my problem or maybe I just need to workout more. Any advise would be appreciated! Thanks!0
