If it is a week or two it might be because your body is holding more water weight which happens sometimes during longer diets. (basically your body is trying to hold on to as much weight as possible.
With that exercise and claiming to eat 1500 calories a day. Yup logging issues.

OP, are you actually weighing all of your food?0

But if that would be the problem, I would be able to fix it, trust me!
We're at a similar point. I'm 5'5" and 153. My goal weight is 145. The weight is dropping much more slowly now than when I started at 188. I've lost 5 pounds in the last 2 months and I'm exercising 5 days a week (1 hour/cardio and weights) with a calorie goal of 1,330 calories a day.
You haven't said if you're weighing all your foods. If you aren't, that's probably part of the solution. If you are weighing your foods, log everything and you're still not losing weight, see your doctor. The amount of exercise you're doing should be creating a huge deficit at 1,500 calories. Something doesn't add up.

Is that 1200-1500 cals total, or 1200-1500 + exercise cals?
I eat 1500 kcal and burn between 1000 and 1300 kcal. I do not eat those back!0 -

I eat 1500 kcal and burn between 1000 and 1300 kcal. I do not eat those back!
So you net 500-200 calories In?

I weight all my food.
Maybe I am still eating too many carbs? I don't eat rice, noodles, bread, potatoes, corn... but I do eat beans. I am a vegetarian, so I have to get my protein from a plant based diet.
I will go back on protein shakes. Maybe that will help?0 -

If true time for doctor visit. Malnutrition is what doctor should be looking for. How did you get your exercise calories? The number value?

You CAN workout too much, but the result of that would be a run down feeling almost like your sick or an injury.
I wouldn't say that working out to much on its own would prevent you from losing weight.

Nonsense. It takes 1300 cals at least just to run your body in a coma. You are eating too much.

I can promise you, I am not eating too much! People are acutally concerned, that I am not eating enough. I weigh my food. Everything! Even if it says Tablespoon, I always use the grams.
I try to eat 40% Protein, 30% Carbs (good ones) and Fat each.
I am not lying, trust me...

Does anyone know where that guy is that said he cannot lose weight eating both TDEE and BMR with still a lot of weight to lose? These two should talk together since they are both special snowflakes. When I say special snowflakes I mean an undiagnosed medical issues because you make no sense now OP.

This is just a comment on this... Op wants some suggestions and advice but will not open the diary for the sake of this thread "asking for help"..
The only answer to this, in lieu of this, is your are eating too much..
edited to add: MFP community will comment in accordance to what we may see is wrong and give good advice, we have all been there already!!!!0 -
Have you tried taking a week off? That might be the best way to answer your own question. Take a week off, make sure you are logging your food correctly and see if anything changes in a week?0

haha. Thanks.
I told you I am not logging here on MFP.
Don't get me wrong! I lost a lot of weight doing this!!!! It just stopped. So I was wondering, if it might have to do with the increase in workout I do.
Thanks for all your help. Like I said. I will log here for the next 2 weeks and open it for everyone! So you can maybe tell me what I am doing wrong! The only thing I can imagine is wrong with my intake is the amount of Protein. It is just hard to eat low carb when you are vegetarian.

Sounds good. Hopefully you can get some helpful feedback from the community to help you figure this out.0

Go see a doctor and get some blood/metabolic tests done. If you've been netting that low for a long time, you're hormones could be out of whack which would change the conversation. Consider seeing a sports nutrition person/coach and get on a healthy plan.
If you've been netting that low for a short period of time, then hormones are probably ok, but still consider getting on a more reasonable, healthy plan. And perhaps stop worrying so much about a number on a scale.0 -
I am sympathetic. I have lost 75 pounds and my body called a halt to more weight loss. Actually I am still progressing but much more slowly. I am ok with that. I am being consistent with my diet and my exercise. Changing your workout routine might help - maybe more intense for less time. Keep at it! You are on the right track.0
