1 month at the same weight - help needed

I would LESS out 20% off of your TDEE which you calculated at either 2050 (sed) or 2210 (light) - so less 20% off that and you should eat either 1640 (sed) to 1768 (light) cal / day.

The roadmap thread states unless you are literally in bed all day and not moving, put in light. If you are eating 1900 cal / day, you might be eating at the "maintenance" level as 1900 is 200-300 more then the appropriate TDEE less 20% calculation which could be why no loss is happening.

I stalled out for a week, when I was about a month into it, and I totally freaked out. I couldn't understand why, and all I wanted was to find a fix. I was working out 3-4 a week, doing high intensity boxing training. I was usually in the gym for 1.5 to 2 hours every time. I would add my workouts to MFP, and then eat the calories that I needed to get back to the intake number. I was getting so many different opinions on what to do with those workout calories, that I decided to test it out. I took one week, and ate half of the workout calories. The following week, I didn't eat any of the workout calories. This definitely kick started the fat burning process once again. Not eating any of the workout calories gave me the best results, and I am continuing to do that.

There are different opinions on what to do with workout calories, as you will find, but this is what worked for me. At any rate, it certainly helped me subconsciously change things up. Hope this helps!!

Were you steadily losing weight eating at this same calorie range the month before you stalled? My husband and I both lost a significant amount of weight our first month dieting, but then both stalled out at the same time and for an entire month with no weight loss. I used a LOT of online calculators, and ended up increasing our calories last week, and we both started losing steadily again. I'm 5'4 female and was eating 1200/day getting nowhere. Increased to 1300-1400/day and am now losing steadily again. My husband is 5'10 and increased from 1200-1300/day to 1700-1800/day and he's dropped over 2lbs this last week. I'm not saying that you need to increase your calories, just that it might be a possibility. If you are doing a lot of cardio and not eating back those calories or at least some of them, you may have a greater calorie deficit than you think and that can have an effect on your metabolism and fat loss. Plug your information into several calculators, and see if you're eating back your exercise calories so your net calories are in your range.

And congrats on the 30lbs! That's great!!!!!!!

Hi
I would try to eat a little more protein and a little less carbs. Also try adding weight training to your excercise routine.

Are you drinking enough water? Drinking water is essential to losing weight. If your not drinking enough, your body thinks its dehydrated and you won't lose as much weight, if at all.

Good luck and hang in there...this is not an easy thing and we all need to have patience with ourselves. Sometimes our bodies just need to adjust to the new weight.

I was going to say this as well. I know people say the type of calorie doesn't matter, but I just anti le a thing eating lots of crabs.
