I can't loose any weight, HELP

Yes the coco pops I bought them before I decided to loose weight, so I feel I have to finish them, once again student budget. Yeah my calories are set to 1200, which I find ridiculously low, but I never eat over 2000, which is what women are supposed to eat.

most women need between 1200-1500 cals depending on activity level. only eat 2000 if u are really active and thats still just to maintain, gotta cut to the 1200 if you wanna lose. cardio is also ur best friend. . .:)

Not this... weight training is everyone's best friend, especially heavy weight training. The heavier you lift the stronger you get. And don't worry about gaining any new muscle mass because you are in a calorie deficit. You can't add mass unless you eat enough to create a surplus... what strength training does is help maintain your muscle so you need to lose less weight to get fit and lean.

Cardio is good for heart health and burning calories but too much cardio can cause you to lose muscle. Weight training will help prevent this. Additionally, there is no fat burning zone. It doesn't matter if you walk, run or do HIIT you will burn calories. Some exercises burn more calories than others but some exercises also burn calories post workout.

The best advice, set a moderate deficit (1 lb per week) and eat back some of your exercise calories or just eat 1700 calories daily and monitor progress. If you average 1 lb per week then your tdee is 2300 calories. Tdee = maintenance.

Additional, add a lot more protein. You should aim to get 1 g of protein per lb of lean body mass or about 70-80% of your body weight in grams of protein.
