HELP!!! Weight loss stalled

Posts: 23
Hi, I'm in need of some help and inspiration please. I have managed to lose 22lb, it was 23lb, then I had a static 3 weeks with no loss and now I have gained 1lb.
I have re-calculated my goals on MFP and updated my exercise goals which are accurate. I have a daily allowance of 1380 calories.
I have looked at my diary and am happy with my foods.
I eat an oat based breakfast, 2 x snacks of fruit throughout the day, salad with fish or egg for lunch and a small cooked meal in the evening made up of 50% vegetables, 25% carb (mainly boiled new potatoes with skin on) and 25% protein either meat,chicken or fish.
I cycle and walk as my main forms of exercise as I suffer with permanent migraine and the drug trials that I am on are hit and miss with pain relief so I can't undertake anything that requires quick movements i.e. aerobics or circuit training.
I have 28lb to go to reach my perfect goal and get back to where I was before I gave up smoking.
All ideas are welcome please as I'm probably missing something simple and hopefully one of you guys will be able to point it out to me.
Thanks

Hello Rachlat!
Do you eat your gained calories? I would say, for the amount of calories you burn every day, you should eat more than 1300 cal a day.
Have you done your TDEE? You will find a thread on MFP called road map which will explain to you how to do it.
I have done it? And since, I have increased gradually my cal intake from 1200 to 1600 cal a day. Unfortunately, I had to stop my exercises because of my injury and didn’t see a result. My weight just stalled.
I will gently start exercising this week and I hope to see a change.
Good luck!0 -
Hi again, How do I find TDEE please? I can't find road map anywhere. Thanks:happy:
Hopefully we'll both get there x0 -

If you are lost in the calculation, the guy called He...dan(??) can do it for you. You just have to send him a message with your details ask him what to do. He is very helpful.
Good luck!0
