Weight loss just wont stop or slow down

This content has been removed.

I'm w/the others.......... You need to eat more. I'm a (almost) 50 year old, 5'6", 140 lb woman and I average at least 2300 cals a day to maintain.

I'm (5'11) 178cm tall, I know it was wrong (didn't know until I started to maintain), I'm recovering from only 1380 calorie diet, and many days I didn't eat all that, I'm starting to turn to junk food to try to keep up, stalls were way too common during my weight loss journey, now I trying to to do everything for a stall.

I've gotten myself into the "eat more to lose" catch have I?

If you are hitting your macros and micros, there is no such thing as junk food. That's one of the beauties of getting to maintenance and exercising. You can fit your "junk" food into your calorie counts much easier.

You mentioned that you're in your third week.

When I go back to Feb 8th and average your calories, you've been averaging barely over 1500 NET a day, with a goal of 1700. I have no idea where you picked the 1700 number either, because with your height and age, you'd have to be under 110 before that would be your sedentary maintenance, and I *hope* you aren't under that.

Why don't you just tell mfp "I want to maintain my weight" and eat all the way up to the goal +/- 100 for a few weeks, and see how you're doing after that?

Enjoy an ice cream

reduce your workout frequency

keep eating at maintenance

Why would you say this? Lol. Just increase calories. He's obviously eating in a deficit.

the only reason i said that is ...

I was assuming OP was having a hard time upping calories at the moment. and after i made that comment he said (9min later) ...

" I'm recovering from only 1380 calorie diet, and many days I didn't eat all that, I'm starting to turn to junk food to try to keep up"

if OP is comfortable at 1900ish stay there for now then up calories slowly when weight loss stops.

so , to stop losing weight fast...im assuming OP was working out 5-6x/week (OP still hasnt mentioned this) cut down his workout days to 2-3x/week. that will slow down the weight loss, then he can slowly up his calories to the supposedly 2300ish maintenance.

base on OP stats...with a goal weight of 170

sedentary
Your BMR is: 1705
Your TDEE is: 2046

workout 3x/week
Your BMR is: 1705
Your TDEE is: 2344

workout 5x/week
Your BMR is: 1705
Your TDEE is: 2493

i just ate 2400 calories today, which MFP recommends for maintain, I've forgotten how it feels like to be so full, my stomach feels like it's about to explode.

Since I have little access to the kitchen, I won't be able to keep this much up everyday, so decided from tommorow i've eat nuts tto fill up my calories (If there is any at the end of the day).

Yes, to avoid feeling stuffed, just eat more calorie-dense foods. It doesn't have to be whatever you define as "junk" (although I personally agree that it's not helpful to categorise foods into black and white terms) - there are lots of nutrient dense foods that are also high in calories. Nuts are a brilliant example, and nut butters, seeds, avocados, full fat dairy. oily fish, cheese, eggs, houmous, olive oil drizzled on salads, or a bit extra added to cooking. And, when you eat less nutrient-dense food, look for thing with more fat in rather than just sugary things. Fat has the most calories per gram of any macronutrient.

Looking at your diary - instead of "light" cheese, eat the regular kind. On your ham sandwich - spread some butter or mayonnaise on your bread. Remember you can also drink your calories, and some people find that easier - milk, smoothies, protein shakes etc. It looks like you're pretty much eating the same things every day though, is there a lot of food that you don't like?

Your body will quickly adjust to eating more food anyway, so just persevere.

Ahh I forgot about the drinks side of things, now can always switch from my coke zero to ordinary coke, if I can't keep up, but yeah today I had to force myself to stuff bigger foods down my throat like Sticky Bread Buns, Sandwitches, cheese, Meat Pie, Chips, Bananas and half a roast chicken, and now I feel like i've eaten a horse.

And I'm not a fuzzy eater, the food I've brought is the food im used to buying, I mean it's kept me healthy and never seen the need to change, but yeah my shopping lists will have to change, its too expensive if I was the eat the same way I did today, everyday...

I'm maintaining (although I'm trying to bulk) on your maintenance calories so feel free to creep my diary for ideas. I east fairly healthily most of the time but on an IIFYM basis.

Whilst not calorie dense (other than avocados) you might want to try eating more fruit and veg for your health (rather than just to lose weight). Nothing but baked goods and a single banana won't really meet your micro-nutritional needs.

I'm in the same boat. I'm 145, 5'8" and pretty active throughout the week. I just started maintaining last week but I dropped almost another pound this week despite eating at MFP's maintenance and a night of booze and snacks. Might have to try the TDEE method again.

Same thing happened to me . . . got down to 7st, then kept dropping until I hit 6st6lb . . . then I went on holiday to Vegas and have buffets everyday, came back and went up to 7st! The key for me, eating - lots! aha I was having BIG breakfasts and eating late at night! Then again I was on holiday and I didn't actually plan to put that much on but there you go!

I have the samw problem. I'm a 21 year old student. I have a pretty sendetary life, but I try to ride my bike to school when it's sunny and I have volleyball practice twice a week (I used to be a professional, but now I only enjoy recreational playing). This is all the workout I get in a week.
I eat 2000kcal a week (sory my diary is not open, but I use calorie counter for counting calories but the forums here are better ) now that I'm on maintance and I have 160lbs (5'10").
Do you think 2000 is not enough (I sometimes eat more than 2000 but not more than 2200). When I was restricting I was eating around 1600-1800, but have now uped my alorie intake. In the last month I still lost 2 pounds and I'm worried I won't stop losing.
