    How tall are you? I'm 52yo, 5'4" and at 146lbs (my ultimate weight goal) will put me at less than 25% bodyfat, low end of average range.

    Maybe 140 is healthy for you?

    @Calliope610‌ I hope my legs and booty look as amazing as yours when I'm 52!!

    @FFF - Thanks!! 2 years of walking and now cycling has done that. I just wish the rest of my body would catch up...

    Try taking a look at what you are eating as apposed to how much. I was stalled out as well and dropped 6 lbs in one week by eliminating gluten, dairy, sugar, eggs, peanuts, corn and soy from my diet. Basically, started eating clean, whole foods. I feel much better as well, mentally, physically and emotionally. Looking back at what I ate before I was amazed at the amount of sodium and lack of fiber I was getting previously in my diet. I will slowly add some of the previously mentioned foods back in to see how my body reacts to them.

    OP, you can disregard this as far as weight loss is concerned.

    Hey, 130 will probably look great on you :) I'm looking forward to 130 myself.

    Don't forget the scales can stall but the measurement may be going down so make sure you measure your waist and compare that too

    I am with you-my scale hasn't moved and I am tracking 1200 calories a day. I am 5'5" weigh about 146-dropped 2lbs and there it sits. I exercise 2-3 times. I am so tired of thinking something will change but nothing. over it-almost ready to do the no carb just to see if that will make my scale move!

    I tried the no carb once I lost a lot of weight but I also got very sick and it can be hard on your kidneys please research it first and remember that muscle weighs more than fat when you weigh yourself

    No carb is just another way to decrease calories. If you're eating close to maintenance, and you take away something high calorie like bread, you will create a larger deficit. If you're not losing weight at 1200 calories, you're tracking wrong.
