Hi,
New to this community and app. Thought tracking my food and exercise might help me figure out out my body works best to either lose or maintain weight as an almost 52 year old gong through menopause.
Been eating only about 1300-1400 calories a a day and working out often but seem to be gaining weight! Was losing a tiny bit for about a week and now gaining. Makes no sense!
If anyone else is in this boat and has any insight I’d love to hear from you.
All the best,
Lori

Welcome to the MFP Community.
It sounds like you haven't been at this very long. Try to be patient. Weight fluctuates a lot over the course of a few weeks, depending on what you've consumed, how much you've eliminated, and how much you've exercised. What you want is that longer-term trend.
Since it sounds like you're still figuring things out, take a look at this thread:
