Tall girl weight loss

How long have you been at it, and how are you measuring your portions? Can you open your diary?

How long have you been trying?
How new is the exercise?
Are you near your time of the month?

Are you being very careful which database entries you're choosing? There are a lot of little things to know to not choose inappropriate entries, and also inaccurate entries.

Do you eat out a lot, or eat at other people's houses a lot?

Have you tried weighing the packaged foods you eat regularly to see if they match the weight listed on the package? (They don't always!)

Are you sure you're not forgetting to log things? Oil you cook with, butter on your bread, cream in your coffee, coffee itself, dipping sauces, candies, tasting bites of thing while cooking, etc.

Are you logging consistently? (Every day, no "cheat" days where you also skip logging.)

Can you open your food diary? That might help people give you suggestions.

I'm 5" 10 1/2 and was eating 1250 calories per day was losing for awhile and then it stopped. The doctor said he wants me to eat 1800 cal per day but I normally eat around 1400 to 1600 cal per day. My weight is moving I just lost a pound and I am also not able to exercise due to knee surgery needed. So try maybe cutting calories to 1500-1600 see if that helps. Basically you have to trick your body by switching the calorie amount" shock it" .

I've been consistently tracking since January and have lost about 5lbs. I don't eat pre packaged foods much, and eat out maybe once per week but am careful when I do. I'm not new to exercise... Been doing various things my whole life, from the gym, personal training, yoga, dragon boating and Zumba. I'm super frustrated since I feel like I've been eating pretty well but don't seem to be losing. It gives me hope though that others are eating about the same calorie amount as me and still losing. I guess I'll just keep trying and hopefully I'll move past this plateau...

OK that means that it's been roughly 20 weeks

and if you've lost 5lb in that time you are losing 1/4 lb a week

so you're eating at a defecit of 125 calories a day

whatever MFP has estimated your TDEE at, based on how you are logging at the moment (food and exercise) you need to reduce your food intake

in order to hit 2lb a week, you need to cut it down another 975 calories per day

you are simply not logging accurately here

read the calorie counting 101 thread

^^ This. If you believe doing everything right, but you're not losing you're either 1) overestimating the amount of exercise calories you're burning to come to your calorie levels, or 2) you're not logging as accurately as you think. As others have said, we can't see your diary, so we can't really give advice on that. Link for the calorie counting 101 thread

I'm 6'1, and currently 116kg/255lbs (already over 50lbs down). With 2-3 workouts a week plus quite a bit of walking, I'm have a steady loss (on average at least, I seem to hold and woosh a bit) eating around 1800 a day. I would suggest you use a calculator like ifcalc, be very honest with the intensity of your workouts with the settings, and maybe use that instead of the mfp settings.

I put in your details that I could see from your profile (I had to guestimate your weight by noting how much your ticker said you want to lose). It set your TDEE at 2639day / 18470 a week, which is in theory, what you would need to maintain. It gave me that as a sedentary person, a consistent 1lb a week loss (TDEE - 20%) should be ~2100 cal a day. For 2lbs a week, you're looking at ~1630cal. So, if you're doing mfp's 2250, being sedentary would be about .75lbs a week.

It's weird that everyone's calorie intake is 1,800.... I started myfitnesspal last year. I am 5'10 and when I started, it only suggested me eating roughly 1,270 a day? Which I did (I didn't feel hungry either/feel like I was starving). I did lose 20lbs from doing that, and an extra 10 when I started working out more and lifting. Now I'm trying to gain slowly but slow that I gain lean muscle. You might not be losing any weight because maybe you are gaining muscle?

If the op is eating at a deficit, she's not gaining muscle. (I have no idea if the op is at a deficit or not. But wanted to point out that one will not gain muscle on a deficit. )

completely changing up your routines every month for maximum results.

Finally, how intense are your workouts? As Billy Blanks says, "You have you give some to get some."

Best of luck to you!

I'm 5.11. I started off eating 1,2000 cals a day. No exercise at the time. learned to cut my portions.
Now I exercise 2 or 3 times a week. Still on 1,200 of nutritious meals. I'm definitely toning up and getting stronger muscles.
I would be putting on weight if I were eating 1,800 cals a day!

I am 6'1" I have my activity set at sedentary. I have 115 lbs to lose. With my doctors orders, I am eating at 1200-1500 cals a day. Anything higher and all I do is maintain. I do TRX twice a week, and walk when I can at least 30 mins every day. When I feel like It ill go lift or maybe do some cardio, but my doctor doesn't want me running right now. MFP suggested me at 1870 cals. I would say open your diary so people can give you honest opinions about what you are eating. I drink 3-4 liters of water a day so I suggest getting that in. (you shoul dbe drinking close to half your body weight in oz of water). You don't have to exercise everyday to lose weight. 80% of losing weight is DIET. if you aren't losing you aren't logging correctly. How much sodium are you intaking? the first 15 lbs I lost was nothing but water weight and I put it back on easily if I overeat sodium high foods. Feel free to add me if youd like.
