    Hi, I'm 5'5" and 45. I bumped up to 1500 because I only lost 6lbs (doing Atkins) and didn't think I was getting enough calories. Well, after not losing on that, I went back to 1200. I've lost and gained the same 1-2 lbs for several weeks, getting really discouraged. Losing weight is very difficult for me. I'm thinking of switching to WW & see if that helps. What kind of diet are you doing?

    Hello, I'm 5 .4 1/2... almost 5.5 and eating 1200 cals a day, yet I'm just starting again after having gained about 60 pounds in the last three years. I'm hoping using this site with the corresponding app will work.

    I'm 5'4" and 36 years old.

    I am currently in maintenance consuming around 2500 net calories a day, but can easily lose weight while consuming around 2200 net calories per day. :)
