Spinning my wheels

Hey,

I seem to always stall and never lose weight. I started a month ago and have been stuck between 53-54 KGS. I eat around 1,500 calories each day and weigh all my food on a digital scale. I have a hrm for my walking and I also have been doing strength training for two weeks.

Some information about me:
-157cm (5'2)
-Type 1 diabetic
- Started carbimazole for hyperthyroid 5 weeks ago. Only my TSH was borderline, t3/t4 were fine. The only problem I have is hair loss and it still won't stop, its gotten much worse.
-due for another thyroid blood test in 3 weeks

My body measurements have changed...butt has gone from 92cm to 93.5cm and thighs from 54cm to 55cm...I am in a healthy weight range, I just want more muscle definition thus the weight lifting.

Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm feeling really disheartened. I come here everyday and love reading through all the threads.

    How did you figure out that you need to eat 1500 calories per day?

    I think my maintenance is around 1,500-1,600 when I don't exercise. Thats from online calculators. So on average I burn about 400 calories when I exercise.

    I decided to put my calories up to 1,600. Does anyone have an ideas?
