Struggling to eat 1200 calories

For those who are exercising and not losing weight, instead of focusing on the weight, try taking your measurements and compare. Muscle weighs more than fat and you may just have built your body up with better muscle tone. I know we dwell on weight more. I feel I am 25 pounds overweight and am trying to get to the weight where I am comfortable with myself. However, my BMI is right where it should be for my age and body build. My fat mass is only 1% higher then it should be. I exercise faithfully for 1 hour a day, a mix of aerobic, weight bearing, and resistance weights. It is extremely frustrating that with all the exercise my weight comes off extremely slow. I have to be real with myself, that though the weight loss is very slow, I am eating healthier and doing the right thing for my age, weight, heart, and system. Also, watch the little things you may not be recording. Cream, milk in coffee adds up fast as does other condiments we take for granted. Be healthy, that is the most important consideration. You are great!!!!0
