I'm really struggling with finding any weight loss lately. I had a pretty easy time last year, staying around 1400 net calories (1200 is not sustainable for me at 5'8") but this year I feel like I'm doing the same thing (probably closer to 1500/1600 net) but nothing budges. Can a few hundred calories really make all the difference between losing and maintaining?

Hello @KerryITD,

Weight loss is a delicate balance, isn’t it? You can be cruising along at the same calorie intake and losing weight then you hit a brick wall and the scale doesn’t move down or it goes up.

You have to find your variables… how much water are you drinking…are you eating later in the day… has your exercising/walking changed…
