    Well! In order to properly give advice, is it ok if we ask for a little more information?

    If you're eating 1200 calories, thats all fine and dandy IF that is above your Basic Metabolic Rate.

    If you are not meeting that Basic Metabolic Rate ( use the BMR calculator under the tools tab to find out if you don't know) you could actually be slowing your metabolism down making it more difficult to lose.

    Also, what types of foods are you eating? The more highly processed and further from its natural form, the more difficult it is for your body to process it. Usually these foods are more expensive than buying fresh veggies from your produce section at your local grocery store or market. You'll be able to eat more and attain more natural nutrients if you eat as close to the "real deal" as possible. Plus your bank account will also thank you!

    are you losing inches and are your clothes fitting looser?
    what type of exercise are you doing?
    how close are you to a healthy body fat percentage (please note that this can be very different than healthy weight)?
    how long have you been trying to lose weight?

    Don't give up. It will happen if you give it some time. Make sure that you are eating exact proportions of the food you are tracking and if you aren't exercising, add some exercise. Mine has been very slow too but I am finally losing. Sometimes when you haven't lost for about a week, you are due to lose a pound or two the next day that you weight! Good Luck. :flowerforyou:
