I was on a great track and lost 40lbs when I found out I was pregnant with my son. He is 9 months now and since January I have been working out and on a 1200 calorie diet. I've lost 10 pounds. It just does not seem as though the weight is coming off as quickly as it did just a year or two ago. I have been hearing that if your calorie intake is too low, you may not lose as quickly... but somehow that doesn't make sense to me. I need to lose at least 1 pound a week. Help? Suggestions?

    Your body constantly changes and just because you lost weight a certain way in the past it doesn't mean you will lose the same now or in the future. I lost about 50lbs a few years back with little effort. Now it's hard to lose weight!

    What is your height? Age? Current weight? Goal weight?

    1,200 is FAR too low for average people in my opinion. Your body needs more furl than that.

    Why do you NEED to lose at least one pound a week?

    if your working out & ONLY eating 1200 cals you aint doing yourself any favours.

    Before changing anything up, what is your exercise and diet like?
