    Are you in a calorie deficit?

    I don't know what that is.....I have been staying at the weight that I have lost since being on this program. I feel like I am losing but gaining it also.

    To lose weight you have to be in a calorie deficit. Enter your info into mfp and let that help calculate your calories. Remember to log any exercise separate, and eat back those calories.

    If you aren't losing weight over a period of several weeks you are by definition not in a caloric deficit.

    If you are maintaining weight on average over several weeks simple eat a few hundred calories daily.

    If you're actually gaining weight on average, then post the rate of the weight gain you have been trending and we can give you a ball park where to adjust your calories.

Doing a 360 Burn program Which includes weights and interval cardio Alternating daily in addition to walking 3-4 miles. MFP indicates I’m Burning anywhere from 1300- 1500 calories. I’m logging exercise and my food Plus a journal . I am in deficient to the point that after completing Diary. I get “yelled “at for not eating enough calories... I can get to 1,100 but have difficulty going much higher. . I am gluten intolerant so i cannot eat processed carbs. I have lost a very minimal amount , Liam

    The minimum you should be eating is 1200 calories, and you should be eating back your exercise calories.
    6-8 lbs is going to be slow weight loss. A .5 lb or less a week.
