in Health and Weight Loss
Mfp has me eating 1050 calories a day- and I do meet this (occasionally go over by 25-50 cals). I eat loads of vegetables, monitor my fruits because if sugar, eat low amounts of carbs and good lean protein. I did this for the entire week....and lost 4oz- what the heck am I doing wrong?!?

    You have your goal set too aggressively. Additionally, you will earn calories through exercise.
    As per not losing anything, you'll need to open your diary.

    Unless there is a glitch occurring, MFP did not set your calories that low. They have a 1200 calorie minimum.

    I'd recommend trying to reset your goals in you settings (and being honest about your daily activity level) and see if anything changes. When I said I am sedentary (which I'm not as a teacher) it said 1200, and I stopped losing weight after 4 lbs. When I switched it to 'lightly active' it upped me to almost 1500 and I started to lose again. You really do need to eat enough to fuel your body in order to lose weight.

    I thought 1050 was low- I'll up it to 1200 and see how I do. Thank you
