Looking at your diary you're not eating enough. Your metabolic rate won't be high enough to lose weight. Your protein is also very down every day. You're not eating enough to repair muscles after exercise, especially seems as you have been putting in your diary like 600 calories worth of exercise sometimes daily. How do you expect your muscles to repair and to not get fatigued if you're not fuelling your body? I eat approx 1320 calories daily, always near enough eat my exercise calories and am still losing weight and I eat roughly 5 meals daily + snacks. You need to change your habits out of 'If I eat less i'll lose weight' as you're starving your body and your body is slowing down as you're not feeding it enough and get to actually i'll eat little and often daily, hit my targets, fuel my body and eat my exercise calories. Stick to that daily for a month and see what happens.

This thread has it all. A confused OP with unrealistic expectations who seems like they may be receptive to some good advice. A white knighter trying to turn this into a mean people thread. The obligatory "metabolic adaptation" reference, and now, people who defy the laws of physics saying CICO is incorrect. I think the best part is that even folks who often disagree, seem to be united so far.
This should make for an entertaining Tuesday thread...0 -

Was going to reply to that and say basically the same thing. MrM has it covered.

I could've called it a day with wine before I read this thread . . . . I can call it a day anytime wine is involved . . . even quicker if there's a good steak or some pasta to go with it

Imo there wasn't enough mean people bashing. It's a sign pointing to lack of motivation.
I'd bash you, but I think you like it too much.

rong! there are so many other factors that can play into it like sleep, stress, hormones. If it was as simple as calories in and calories out then there would be a lot of miracle pill companies out of business. When making food choices if I have multiple choice of the same item I choose the higher of the caloried ones...because I know ME! I will lie to myself and that evil inner voice will say it really wasn't that much. I have also got a Fitbit, that little bugger never lies about my steps. Once I get my daily intake in control and still don't lose I start to look at my environment, how happy have I been, how well have I been sleeping, how are my relationships with family friends and co-workers? There is always and answer to the question of why the weight isn't coming off. And if I don't see some loss over several months, like 4-6 I would talk to my doctor because there could be an underlying issue that could be serious. I am not a doctor or a nutritionist or a personal trainer, I am a over weight middle aged, middle classed woman who has the same problem all of us have or none of us would be here. Life is hard, but it's hard for ALL of us. I come here for encouragement or ideas to help me get through the days when I want to throw in the damn towel and say to hell with it all. I hope I have been able to provide that to someone else who may read this. So OP, hang in there buddy. Be careful with how much you're eating, keep moving it's more important to do that than just losing weight, and don't give up!
As for the comment about the companies who sell diet pills going out of business- the reason most people try those is because they don't understand the truth about eating less calories than your burn, or they don't realize they are eating as much as they think they are, or they are just looking for a quick fix. The truth is, however, that those magic diet pills won't work unless you eat at a calorie deficit.

Looking at your diary you're not eating enough. Your metabolic rate won't be high enough to lose weight. Your protein is also very down every day. You're not eating enough to repair muscles after exercise, especially seems as you have been putting in your diary like 600 calories worth of exercise sometimes daily. How do you expect your muscles to repair and to not get fatigued if you're not fuelling your body? I eat approx 1320 calories daily, always near enough eat my exercise calories and am still losing weight and I eat roughly 5 meals daily + snacks. You need to change your habits out of 'If I eat less i'll lose weight' as you're starving your body and your body is slowing down as you're not feeding it enough and get to actually i'll eat little and often daily, hit my targets, fuel my body and eat my exercise calories. Stick to that daily for a month and see what happens.
Starvation is not at play here at all.0 -

Well in a sense it is if OP is losing 4 pounds per week. That would be a result of starvation type dieting, but no, it has nothing to do with OP's metabolism slowing down.
