TIRED..PLATEAUD...SCALE NOT MOVING !!!FOUND MY ANSWER !!!!

Today I net 176 calories.... My BMR is 1340. Obviously I have a huge gap, haha.
I just have issues netting higher, I eat until I'm full and then I stop. I can't seem to find a way to eat more/higher calories (I love fruits and veggies, which are pretty low calorie) but right now my weight is plateauing..

What kind of exercises are you doing to burn so many calories a day (looked like 1200-1400 most days)?? I looked at your diary and I can't help but to think you are eating good and looks like enough but you are burning soooo much. I can't help but to think you might be over doing it on the exercise.

I'm going to give this a whirl....I'll let ya'll know my progress! thanks for all the brilliant posts!

I have plateaued for almost 6 months and then gained weight..now I am going to Net 1800 as my BRM is 1380 and TDEE is 2023. It was so difficult to eat 1700 cal after having an average net of 1300....will give this try for a month...

It works, people! Just try increasing your calories a couple hundred per day if you are on the 1200 day plan and see what happens. I eat about 1500 plus exercise calories and I am FINALLY LOSING. I barely lost anything on the 1250 per day MFP had me set at. I swear to you, I was a disbeliever too; weren't all of us told that you had to starve to lose weight? Basically 1200 per day is what I probably ate using Weight Watchers points. I would lose, but when I couldn't sustain that starvation, I would gain it all back. I eat between 1500 and 2000 calories a day and I am losing and changing my body shape with heavy lifting. Please try it, you will not be sorry!

i have plateaued about a month ago and i am tryin to get thru it. i have been thinking maybe i havent been eating enough but i am soooo afraid to try this cause ive worked so hard to get this 17 lbs off! but i dont know what else to do. i just dont completely understand this whole tdee figure...15% of this and 50% of that...its so confusing! is there something somewhere that i can plug all my info in and it tells me exactly how many cals to eat a day? i am mathematically challenged lol obviously

This seems to be working for me, too.

Up until a month ago, I'd lost 23lbs by eating on average 1200 cals. Suddenly became much hungrier and felt I needed to eat at tdee (about 1450). Weight stayed steady for a couple of weeks.

Last week decided to go up to 1800 (want to go up as far as possible and still maintain, because it's miserable trying to live on 1200 cals!)

Over this week, my weight has fluctuated within one pound only.

Eating more seems to be working.

In a while I'll take the number down again and hopefully lose the last 7lbs.

Thanks for the info

I LOVE IT!!!!! Very inspiring story!
