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?0

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.0
