I was 200 lbs. before I became a MFP member. Goin to the gym almost everyday and sticking to 1200 cal helped me lose 20 lbs. in 4 weeks. Now its been 2 weeks but im stuck at 120. Is this normal?

Similar weight and I was stuck here too. I decided to increase my protein (as a new vegetarian it was lacking) and I noticed a lot of bloating went down, I also started HIIT instead of my usual cardio, which was a fun way to shake things up! If you haven't already, switch up your workout regimen and add some protein??0

You're stuck at 120 or you lost 20? 1200 calories is pretty low if you you're still 180, sounds crazy but you may need to eat a bit more to get your weight loss going.0

Congrats on your weight loss! That's a huge accomplishment!
Honestly, for someone who is working out 6 or 7 days a week, 1200 calories is far too low, regardless of your size. How tall are you? Perhaps you could include a little more information on what kind of workouts you're doing (heavy lifting, cardio, classes, etc) and the community could help devise a solution.
Regarding the "plateau", 2 weeks to stall is pretty normal, especially if you're close to your goal.0 -
What was I thinking? I mean im stuck at 180 lbs. Used to be 200 and lost 20 lbs. I'm 5'4" btw
I do 30 to 40 mins. of elliptical then the rest is strength training.0
