So I started MFP at the beginning of Jan (the only new years resolution I've ever stuck to, yay me!)
I'm 21 and 5"3. My starting weight was 161lb and in 3 months I've lost 17 lb.. Currently at 144.5lb and have been for the past 3 weeks (before this I lost at least a pound a week). I've been eating 1200 cals a day and playing netball twice a week.. Nothings changed so I'm completely puzzled at the fact my weight loss has stalled! I also thought I wouldn't plateau until closer to my goal, it seems a bit early?!
I'm going to start 30DS this week in the hope it might kick start my weight loss again but does anyone have any other suggestions?
I'm getting a little worried as I'm set on losing at least another 14 lbs before July as I'm going on a girly holiday with my disgustingly gorgeous thin friends lol!
Please help me!

    Try increasing your cardio and reduce your sodium intake. Cut out processed foods.

    Open your diary, otherwise it is difficult to comment x

    I've opened my diary.
    I don't log weekends but I don't go mad or anything im probably down on saturdays and up on sundays so it levels out.
    I did stop eating back my exersize calories a few weeks ago because someone said i'd lose more - i'm thinking this may be the culprit?

    Do a search. This is a super common thread. Do some research.
