Ok I am at a stand in my weight loss journey and dont know what to do. And everything you read or hear says something differnt. I am down to 247 and need to get to about 180. I am consuming 1200 calories a day but am a little confused about how much exercise to do. For 3 days straight I was eating 1200 and burning 1100, which i thought was great the best I had felt since starting my journey and the best part the scale was going down every morning. But then the 4th day it went up .8 of a pound. So I did a little reading and now am very confused. Any suggestions?

    I noticed that if I zig zag my calories eat a few hundred more 2 days a week and go slightly under or hit 1200 calories I do much better...also my TOM plays a part in when I may gain some weight! Good luck! It boils down to what makes you feel good! Feel free to look at my diary if you would like. If you want a friend feel free to add me.
