No loss this week :'(

Well, after loosing consistently for a month, I have had my first week where I didn't lose.

I deliberately upped my calorie intake this week, as I was struggling to reach 1200. I was just always full. So it seems like that is what works for me (or at least for now). Another point to note is that I deliberately got 8 hours sleep each night for the last week. Before that, I was getting 6 maximum. I also had a bad day last Saturday, as I was at my friends bridal shower.

It sucks, I was really hoping to loose another kilo so I would be at the lowest I have ever been in my memory. Hopefully next week I will see an improvement.

Please feel free to check out my diary and see what you think about my eating. There are only a few days where I didn't log.

edit: one more thing to note - I am doing high protein, no processed carbs atm

    Don't beat yourself up over a little gain. Look at the nice loss you had for a month. Your doing something right. Keep at it.

    Don't worry, plateaus are very normal! They are a little frustrating, but everything will be back to normal soon (: You've been making great progress, and your body is just taking a quick rest.

    I was doing 1200 too and lost quickly and nice but then stalls came. I upped calories as friends had said, and although I did have a few small gains the first week, it is starting back down. I'm supposed to be at 1629 calories. Yes, it can be hard just trying to reach 1200, I had to find things to add. Who would think you could have trouble upping your cals? lol

    I know, hey! It's all thanks to increasing the protein in my diet. It really does help me stay full for longer.

    i am under my 1200 calories 98% of the time and I have been dieting for about 12 weeks and working out an hour a day 2-3 times per week; ; two of those 12 weeks I have not lost any weight and it may be a 3rd time this week. But, the positive is that I have not gained. :flowerforyou:
