When was the last time you changed your calorie goal? Are you weighing your food and logging everything you consume? How close are you to a healthy weight?2

Are you sharing as a cathartic release, or do you want help?
If you want help, then you have to give people something to work with
- your stats
- your cal target
- what's going on, and for how long
- maybe open your diary3 -
When was the last time you changed your calorie goal? Are you weighing your food and logging everything you consume? How close are you to a healthy weight?
I've not changed my calorie goal since 9th January this year, when i started with heathly eating and exercise (had my second baby 8 months ago), I weigh all my food and count everything I'm eating and drinking. I currently weigh 12st 9lbs and need to get down to 9st 4lbs, currently 3st 5lb off target0 -

For help, I'm struggling and thought asking for help might give me some clues.
I'm 5ft 6inc tall, weigh 12st 9lbs, my calorie target is 1200 a day. I do 1 hour of exercise per day, 30 minutes on the cross trainer and 30 minutes yoga. I've been stuck at the same weight for 6 weeks, my first 4 weeks i managed to lose 8lbs.
I've sent you a friend request.
Thanks0 -

My calorie goal is 1200 per day and i do 1 hour of exercise a day, with 30 on the cross trainer and 30 yoga. I had only been doing exercises 5 or 6 days a week, but then i didn't lose anything so increased0 -
Its not just the exercise that helps us lose weight its eating at calorie deficit - exercise just increases the deficit.
Are you eating any of your exercise calories back?
1200 a day is low for someone who has to lose 3 stone but if you aren't losing something is off - you say you are logging your foods, are you using a food scale and picking the correct entries in the database?
If you are eating your exercise cals, are you eating all of them? MFP over estimates calorie burn so be aware of that and eat back 50%.
Are you having a 'cheat' day? if so you could be undoing all your good work.1 -

how many calories are you estimating you burn during a workout?0 -
If you're not losing at "1200 calories" then I would suggest you aren't tracking your calories accurately.8

I do have a cheat day at the weekend, i like to have a couple of drinks with friends, maybe it's the alcohol, i do count it.0 -

Unfortunately its VERY doubtful that you are burning that much for either exercise.
you need to weigh stuff like rice and chili with scales not cups.0 -

So it looks like your BMR is 1474, at Sedentary activity that would be a TDEE of 1670 calories. You should be losing over 1/2 lb a week, if you were eating back all your exercise. So, it's likely that you aren't accurate in counting your calories.
Do you use a scale, and are you eating back your exercise calories?
Maybe read through the first post in this old thread and then respond here.
Calorie Counting 1012 -
Cheat days especially not counted alcohol will wipe out all your good work
Have treats in your calories drop cheat anything makes calorie counting sound like something that's too strict

I do use scales where the food is not pre packaged, fruit is weighed, and i check the weight against the amount pre entered on here. I don't usually eat back all calories, but thought this would help.0 -

Even food that's prepackaged needs to be weighed. They may give you the calories for one bagel but when you check the weight, it may be 20% higher than the weight they used on the label.
It does look like you have good tracking in your diary, stick with it and the weight will come off. Here's another good thread to read through
It is unlikely that you will lose weight consistently (i.e., weight loss is not linear)2 -
Yup, that's why cheat days never work for me unfortunately. I just end up canceling the deficit I built up all week.Cheat days especially not counted alcohol will wipe out all your good work

If you aren't losing you are eating maintenance calories. Your cheat meals may be more than you think. Same with the alcohol. The scanner is great, but isn't always right. Same with the exercise calories.
Consider resetting your goal to 1 pound per week. Weigh everything you consume. Eat back 1/4-1/2 of your exercise calories.0 -
430 cals in a half hour at you height/weight is really unlikely. At 5'5 and 170, it was taking me 40 minutes running to burn about 250 according to my Apple Watch and I even think that might have been a tad high. How are you estimating those? If you are eating those back, I think that's your problem.0

It's the feed from my cross trainer, it's double checked with my UA app and smart watch. I don't just do the same pace, i do intervals, increasing and decreasing the tension. I'm sure it's right, I've usually covered 9.5 km0 -

I do count the booze, it all gets taken off my daily allowance, i usually compensate by doing extra exercise0 -

How much fruit are you eating? Fruit has calories and whether you count them or not, your body certainly does.2 -
Do track as you eat or do you wait until the end of the day?0
