Sometimes your body just doesn’t do what you want it to. The most important thing is that you are being healthier, so just keep doing what you’re doing!!!! You got this!

Hope you're under doctor supervision.

Not really under Dr supervision, I was just told I need to get my weight down because I have high cholesterol

Going under 1200cal is not the way to do it though. Eat to the number MFP gives you, use a food scale to help you track. Dropping the weight is great but not if you're not setting yourself up for success down the road as well.

according to the calorie calculator ,I need to be eating 1209 calories a day to loose 500g a week

Then that's the number to aim to, since it already includes a deficit. You definitely don't want to go below it.

thank you for your help. A couple of days I have gone a little bit over but most days I am under so I will eat more nutritional foods to put the calorie intake up
