I eat a pretty constant amount of calories with only a moderate calorie deficit.
I (try!) to change unhealthy snacks (like cupcakes) for healthy snacks (like almonds or fruit).
I exercise 5 or 6 times a week, usually I burn 200 - 600 cals/day.
I eat more on the days that I exercise (yes, I eat my exercise calories - most of them, anyway).
I keep doing this, every day (325 days so far)
I make terrible food choice and eat complete rubbish, or eat too much sometimes. I know it's not a good idea, but it happens.
I don't give up and walk away just because I made bad choices for a day or two.

In summary - eat well, exercise moderately, repeat for the rest of your life.
Sounds boring but it works!

Be sure that you are adding in your exercise with your calorie intake. MFP will let you know the rest.

Sounds like you r starving ya body you will have to eat more to lose weight...

There was no secret to how I got healthy - I just ate nutritious, well-balanced meals and snacks in sensible portions, drank lots of water, and moved my body. Here are some of the tips I give people when they ask for my advice based on what worked for me:

1) The quality of your calories - whether 1200 or 2000 - really does matter, not only in how it impacts weight loss, but how it impacts your overall health. Filling your body with NUTRITIOUS foods is just as important (if not more so) than just staying within your calorie goals.

2) Find a kind of exercise you enjoy and do that until you build the habit of exercising because you are less likely to skip working out if it is something you enjoy. Then start incorporating new things - you not only will work new muscles, but you may find new things you enjoy.

3) Eliminate temptation. If you are an emotional eater, don't keep junk food around. If it isn't available, you're less likely to binge on it.

4) Indulge cravings... sensibly. If you are dying for chocolate, have some, BUT... try to find the healthiest option (for example, one small square of dark chocolate, or make some hot cocoa with some milk or almond milk, cocoa powder, and stevia, which is a natural no-calorie sweetener) and keep the portion small. If you completely deprive yourself, you're going to binge. If you are sensible about things, you won't feel deprived.

5) Drink lots of water. It helps in so many areas. Yes, it does help with weight loss, but it also helps your body function better, flushes out excess sodium, keeps you feeling full longer, and the list goes on and on.

6) Don't skip meals! Eat breakfast in the morning to fuel your body and get your metabolism going. Have a mid morning snack (fruit or nuts are good, or maybe some yogurt). Have a sensible lunch. Have a mid-afternoon snack (I am a huge fan of baby carrots and will eat several servings a day - they are so crunchy that they are really satisfying). Eat a nutritious dinner in a sensible portion. Don't go for seconds. Have a glass of water before and after and then wait 20 minutes after you are done eating. If you are still hungry, have a piece of fruit or some extra veggies.

7) Don't give up! If you stumble or mess up one meal, one day, or even for a whole week, just start over.

8) Listen to MFP. If it gives you a calorie goal that is a lot higher than other people's - LET IT! A heavier body requires more calories to function and MFP will give you the deficit you need to lose weight steadily and in a healthy manner (not more than 2 lbs/week). Don't try to eat 1200 calories if MFP recommends more (including at least a decent chunk of your exercise calories) unless specifically advised (and monitored) by a doctor. That isn't enough for most people and you can't get adequate nutrition on it.

9) This is the motto I go by:
EVERY CHOICE YOU MAKE ABOUT WHAT YOU PUT IN YOUR BODY AND HOW YOU MOVE YOUR BODY WILL EITHER PUT YOU ONE STEP CLOSER TO GOOD HEALTH OR ONE STEP FURTHER AWAY.

I ate less and moved more.....

Looks like you may have just started your weight loss journey. Don't get frustrated. It seems like you might be eating too little. You may need to zigzag your calories - eat more for a few days, then eat less for a few days. That may shock your body into working again. I've been on a plateau for a few weeks, which is frustrating. I'm starting the Olivia method and increasing my calories. I think someone in the thread already mentioned that. Just don't give up.

First thing, personally I am not a big fan of 1200 calories diets unless that's your net calories after exercise. I think 1400 is the lowest anyone should go if you don't. Its all about what works for you though.

*I am on a 1700 calorie diet a day. Most times I consume around 1800-2000 because they say to eat your calories back and that leaves me at a smaller net number.

* I exercise 6 days a week and most times I do extra stuff around my apartment on the 7th day. I burn between 800-1200 calories a day. I strength train 6 days a week for about 20-40 minutes a day and do at least an hour of cardio .

* I bought an HRM because the machines and MFP can be way off. It was VERY accurate at the beginning but once my body started getting more fit, it took longer for it to warm up and burn calories. I highly suggest one because you could be burning more then you think or not enough and its the only way to really know.

* I have had to change up my exercise routine several times over the last year because my body got used to it and stopped losing weight.

* I allow myself 1 day a week to go out to dinner and eat whatever I want. Same holds true for a dessert. I think this triggers my metabolism to kickstarting again too.

*I never give up, even if I am having a really bad day. I still get my butt to the gym. I have gone there with puffy eyes, I have gone there with my hair in a bun and looking like I just rolled out of bed, I have gone there on holidays. Just do it, like Nike says You'll feel better and if you dont, you will have let yourself down.

The best advice I can give to you is find what works for you. You can do this!
