    it doesnt matter how many calories you are eating, it matters how much nutritional value you get out of those calories. so if you eat a cake and a pizza every single day and that put together is 1400 calories, then you are getting no nutrients out of that. it really depends what you are eating to determine whether you will lose weight or not. good luck (:

    untrue, as long as you're at a calorie deficit you will lose.

    When I started MFP in Sept 2011 I started eating a 1200 cal but in July I increased to 1590 cal bc from June since I've lost 50lb my weight keep fluctuating between 130-135 very frustrating everyone said I need to eat more and my body was holding on to my weight : / so I changed my weight loss goal of 2lbs a week to 1/2lb a week...so far since I've started almost 2 weeks ago of increasing my cals I've lost 1.2lbs ; )

    I've upped my goals from 1400 to 1570 which is around my BMR.
    I increased my goals (set to lose 1lb a week) because I noticed that the loss was slowing down. I have been noticing small gains, but I have decided to stick to this for at least 2 weeks before I make anymore changes. My reasoning is that it's better to find the higher end of that sweet spot for losing, than stay stuck in fear on a VLCD in the long-term
