100.5 Is great for your height and congrats on the 25lbs so far but i completely agree with most people here. Track your food, it gives you a really good understanding on what and how much you are eating. Also maybe throw in some nuts in the beginning of the day and never go to bed hungry!
She is 100 KG not lbs. One KG is 2.2 pounds.

now i've changed it, its told me i need to eat 1,200 calories a day
Net Calories Consumed* / Day 1,200 Calories / Day
Carbs / Day 150.0 g
Fat / Day 40.0 g
Protein / Day 60.0 g
That is net 1200 so if you burn 600 you eat 1800 - 600 = 1200 net ..
Do you have a food scale?0 -

That is for 2 lbs a week weight loss? And what activity level?0 -
I'm assuming you set it to lose two pounds per week. I think you're already losing 1.5ish lbs per week which is quite good. I would start with measuring what you are already eating and decide from there because it is obviously a decent deficit as you have been successful so far. 1200 doesn't seem like enough for 5'8"0

Right. If you've been losing about 1.5 lbs a week, which is great...really start tracking. You can eat more than 1200. You're eating more than that now and losing.0 -
thank you i shall do0

No MFP said you should eat 1200 calories a day given that you said you're sedentary and that you should eat back your true net exercise calories.
You are on a calorie counting web site. Must of us believe that the numbers of how much we take in and how much we expend actually matter! It lets us make decisions about eating more or less or fitting in treats.
You may want to look up the sexypants posts in the getting started forum. And the how to record your food intake accurately posts....
You may also want to use a calculator such as the if it fits your macros calculator to figure out what a realistic goal would be for you!0 -
I started last year at 257 (116.5kg) and now I'm just below you at 215lbs (97.5kg) and I am 21 and 5'2.5".You are working out alot so you need to remember muscle weighs almost twice as much more than fat, are you tracking your measurements too? I have lost 8 inches over all so far but only 3lbs. You are eating the right stuff (obviously) but like everyone says you have weigh and log everything to get the full impact of how many calories you are eating well done on your loss so far and good luck with the rest of the weight loss0

Are you getting enough sleep? Sleep, especially deep sleep plays a big role in repairing torn muscle fibers damaged during exercise, and lack of sleep can raise stress levels and stress related hormones. That can be a big factor as well.0
