    KK,

    The B12/Iron is easily checkable. You look too young for that sort of issue, but it's worth checking, easily fixable.

    I take a liquid multivitamin that helps a lot to deal with that horse pill issue.

    I don't work for 'em, or get benefit in any way, other than just a happy customer.

    If yer low on B12, your doctor will prescribe B12 injections, they will solve that issue right quick. If you are, them B12 injections are like getting high octane gas in your tank:)

    If yer low on iron, try liquid ferrous iron from Amazon. Cheap, easy to take, tastes ok. Works.

    Other than that, I repeat what the others have said, some plateau-ing is going to happen. Don't knock yerself out, it'll happen.

    I really like the idea of eating your TDEE for your goal weight... it makes since to eat like the thinner person you want to be in order to become that thinner person. It takes in acount your activity level, so it makes it very simple, no eating back calories. I hadn't lost weight in a while until I switched to this from my lower calorie allotment. Here is the article from MFP:

    Here is the site to calculate:

    Plenty of people have lost weight when they up their calorie goal... I'm at 179 lbs now and I eat more than you- on average 1500 a day (plus an addition 200 because I'm nursing)

    Good luck! Keep your head up, it can't last forever!

    I read an article the other day that said vitamin D deficiancy could make you not lose weight to. When I had all my blood work done, my vitamin D was wayyyyyyyyy low! Dr. adviced me to take 5,000 iUa day which is A LOT. Might want to look at that too. The article said most people have a deficiancy. Worth a shot! Hope it helps me. I have been taking them about a little over 3 weeks now. Been exercising and watching what I eat better and have lost 9 lbs. Good luck!

    This could be... mine was lower than the doctor and nurse had ever seen it... it was a 4 lol I just had a baby and apparently that in combination with nursing can drain your body of the vitamin. I was on 50,000 iu a day for 2 weeks and now I take the 50,000 iu twice a week... can't way that it's helped as I started taking them before I started my journey...
