in Health and Weight Loss
I have not been able to lose any weight past 180. I do intermittent fasting, my calories are all below the calorie goal, and I work out every single day! I'm 5 foot 4 inches and 181.8 pounds. Please give advice..

    If you open your diary, people may be able to give you specific advice.

    We need more information. Start weight goal weight calorie allowance per day. Open your food diary for some real help.

    Also are you using a food scale to weigh your food, are you working out, do you eat back your exercise calories?

    How long have you been trying, what do you do for exercise, and if you make your diary public, much easier to offer advice.

    Why is weight-loss important??

    Plus she included her height and her weight in the post, and the average person doesn't know their body fat percentage

    None of that is really as important as seeing how much you're eating. Opening your diary will probably get you some better advice.

    Low-carb doesn't matter, eating after six doesn't matter, we need to see your diary, we need to know if using a food scale and if eating back your exercise calories

    She just had a baby.
    She shouldn't be worrying about weight loss.

    Blankie, my education background is nutrition and kinesiology with a new focus on habit change.
    Every question I ask, ive asked 100s of clients.

    We don't really know what "just" had a baby means. She could have a two-week old. She could have a three-month-old.

    Are you measuring your solid food or are you weighing it on a food scale? How long have you been at 1,700?

    Don't knock @Helloitsdan - he knows his stuff, and offers great advice. BEST move I ever made was following his info about three years ago. Since then I have lost the fat, reached my goals and am striving for new goals all the time - and have maintained my success for 3+ years.

    If he offers to help - take it! :drinker:

    Are you weighing and measuring all of your food? If not, how do you know you are at a strict 1700 calories?
