NOT losing much weight! HELP!

Is that 1400 and eating back exercise cals, or just 1400? If it's just 1400, I suggest eating back at least half your exercise cals if not all of them.

Then eat back your exercise cals, like I said

MFP people who under eat:

EAT BACK YOUR CALORIES! If you don't you will not be able to keep up the activity in a healthy state. That 1400 is supposed to be NET-Allowance plus calories burned minus calories eaten==goal==1400. A few over or under is fine. A bunch either way is NOT. Your body needs fuel to work correcty and build muscle as you lose fat. Muscle burns more calories than fat does. Eat more and gain muscle so you can exercise off the fat.

You are already not losing as much as you wanted, so it isn't like you will make it worse-give it a try for 3 months and see what happens. If it works to eat more-then you will be thinner towards your goal. If not, it's just 3 months which is not very long in the overall scheme of things.

People have a good point that 1200 isn't a magic number, BUT, make sure you are actually calculating the calories in your food correctly. I know it seems simple and I don't mean to offend, but for every person who thinks they're actually eating 1200, I'd say the majority are eating far more without realizing it. We don't understand portion sizes anymore, use measuring cups and a scale to measure if you really want to know what you're eating. Most people overestimate their "eyeballing" abilities.

TDEE is what you can eat to maintain current weight... eat about 20% below that (and this method already accounts for exercise, so don't 'eat back' those cals). It's honestly much more than I've ever eaten while making an effort to lose weight and it's working

Here are my thoughts: I weigh myself once a month and mainly go off my clothes weight. I feel if I weigh myself too frequently, it will discourage me if the numbers go up and down. So far, by weighing myself once a month, my weight has steadily gone down. For the most part, I will leave about 200 calories left and I exercise every other week because I cannot get to a gym that much. I eat a variety of foods, if you want to check out my diary and I have had good results just concentrating on the diet portion and not so much on working out. But, those are my results. I lose about 2.5 pounds a week, getting in a 90 minute workout in 2 days time. I usually work out like twice a week for 45 minutes each workout and a little weight lifting. Some weeks I do not work out at all, but I also care for my special needs son, who cannot bathe or dress himself, so I probably burn calories with that some too, even though I do not count that in. The only thing I can say is that you might be checking your weight too much. I dont really know.

Your intake may be much higher. Just remember you won't eat back exercise calories if you set your goals (macros) to TDEE. Keep eating protein rich foods and be sure to get enough carbs. Another site that has the calculators:.http://nutrition.about.com/library/bl_nutrition_guide.htm
Good luck!
