Not losing anything

That's amazing

I'm 5'1 and 327lb I am eating 1100-1200 calories a day for the last 3 weeks and am not losing any weight??

I'm 5'8" and started off at 332 and MFP gave me 1750 calories to start. That was to lose 2 lbs a wk. Something doesn't sound right.

I am 5'4, just over 200, haven't eaten over 1200 in 7 weeks, and for the past fortnight or so have been GAINING, so I totally understand your frustration. It seems really unfair doesn't it - especially when everyone else seems to get such fantastic results.

What do you mean by "keep it healthy"? Eating too few calories isn't healthy. And in any case, whatever you're doing clearly isn't working for you. Perhaps you should try things the way MFP suggests for a while, then see what sort progress you make.

I tried eating at 1200 calories for the first couple months I was on here and that didn't work no matter how much effort I put in. Then I upped my calories, and I even had cheat days and the weight started coming off. For me it's coming off slow, but at least it's coming off. Try upping your calories for a month and see if that changes anything. Maybe try a different workout as well? Because for me personally if I do the same workout all the time my body gets used to it and then it sort of becomes ineffective in a way, so I try and incorporate a few different workouts here and there to keep my body guessing and working hard.

Looking at you diary, you def need more fruit and veg - u should try to be healthy as well as slim. Your not noting down water consumption either. And be wary of weightwatchers foods, they are very processed and high in sugar. Good luck

I agree with the others - you're not eating enough fruit and veggies. Despite what others will tell you, 1200 CAN BE DONE - providing you eat wisely. Your welcome to take a look at my diary and see how much I eat for 1200 calories - and I still have energy to run 10kms or participate in a fast cardio or heavy weights session at the gym 5 days a week.

Sure, you might be able to eat McDonalds and frozen meals and still be within your calorie goal - but your probably going to be a lot hungrier and a lot unhealthier by doing so. You havent marked down your water intake - are you getting 8-10 glasses perday? Water is necessary for metobolic processing - water is needed for just about every chemical reaction in your body.

Are you also weighing your food and logging everything?

This can be done, with patience and a level headed approach you will succeed!

omg i typed a huge post and it's not there.

I definately agree with the girls up your cals sensibly. Water is so crucial If don't drink 2lts + per day my weight goes nowhere! Are you currently exercising? I have hit a plateu or so I thought after losing 26kgs last year but it turns out it's coz wasn't exercising enough or pushing myself hard enough! I thought 3 days a week would be enough, well it was to start with, but now I should be exercising about 5-6 days a week to see the results I want to achieve.

If your interested i'm more than happy to share with you what I eat in my day.

Your plate for your main meals should be 1/4 protein, 1/4 carbs & 1/2 salad or vege.

you are definitely not eating enough
I see no water consumption
no other drinks, tea coffee soda? what about that?

fruit / veg?

you aren't going to lose weight when you don't eat enough, that's for sure.

I have less to lose but i'm not losing anything either............................................. I'm 5'1" too. I know people will think that i'm not remembering everything i eat or that i don't understand healthy eating or that i don't know how many calories foods have. If anything, I'm a little MORE INFORMED about this stuff than is healthy!

Plus, Brooke is on my friend's list and I know what she is saying is correct, she is speaking truthfully.

To the OP, it isn't always how many calories you eat, it is more about what you eat. Ensure you get lots of protein, fruit and veg. Weigh everything, guessing how much, a piece of cheese for instance weighs, you could be out by a couple of hundred calories and do that regularly and you will be way, way over your calorie allowance. Scales are a must when trying to lose weight.
