it seems no matter what I do I`m not losing weight and I gain 2 pounds, I have stayed at my current weight for 2 weeks now and I havent been over my calories and I have been trying really hard to eat back all my net calories, so I dont understand, should I not worry about it as I leave for holidays in 7 days and have fun and start over??? HELP:cry:

    Don't get discouraged -13 pounds since joining in Feb is great! I believe I am a good bit older than you, but there were many months when I did well to lose 1 or 2 pounds - but I lnew I was eating right so I kept it up and eventually I started losing again! Have a great vacation!

    What are you eating. It might not the the calories holding you back so much as the types of foods your are eating.

    Don't worry. I went a while without losing any weight. It does happen I promise. You're body is getting used to what you're doing so try changing something up a bit.

    I can’t speak for every woman over the age of 40-45, but the older I got, the more difficult I found it to lose weight. Ten years ago, I could eat what I wanted, pretty much, and simply do a little cardio to keep it in check. Not so much now, tho. I’m 48 and have REALLY had to make a serious commitment to myself to mix it up, learn as much as I could about things like TDEE, BMR, deficits, etc. and that has really made a huge difference.

    That you have lost 13 pounds since February speaks volumes!
