I am another that would say active due to your step count.

I have had my calorie goal change before slightly with no change in any other stats before. I thought it was just me and a forgetful memory but maybe not. I just shrugged and moved on as I know it needs to be adjusted anyway as I burn more than predicted by any calculator.

How about you actually start weighing all of the food you eat before you increase your exercise? This will give you a better understanding of how much you are eating and why you have plateaued in the first place.

Many say that weight loss is 80% in the kitchen. This means that your primary focus should be working out how you can best eat within a deficit as you can not out-exercise a bad diet. Exercise is great but it is more to do with overall health and fitness rather than weight loss. Keep doing the exercises that you enjoy…

With your apprehension, it sounds like keto may not be sustainable for you long term. How about starting off by going low carb (around the 100 gm)? That way you can still enjoy your fruit and if all goes well you could gradually reduce those carbs even further if that is the way you want to go. Remember that weight loss is…

If you have just gone from keto to low carb your body would be retaining the extra fluid it lost while doing keto. If you are eating at a deficit the weight loss will come, despite how much fat you eat. Just have patience and give it time. However, allowing the public to view your diary may be helpful to pick up common…

Please disregard this. You don't need to shock your system in order to lose more weight.

This is very much incorrect. At 4'11 and within a healthy weight range, my NEAT is only around 1,300 at sedentary. This means that 1,200 would have me losing weight very, very slowly! At 5'2 1,200 still would not be an unhealthy amount to eat for a slow and steady loss but she should be eating back at least half of those…

Whoever told you that you weren't losing weight because you are not eating enough is incorrect. If you are eating less than you burn you will lose weight. I agree with @nutmegoreo that the most likely reason is because of inaccurate logging. Not only are you not using a food scale but there are days where you are not…

The best time to do any workout is the time when you are most likely to make it a habit and do it.

What are your plans once the 21 days are over?

The general recommendation from all I have read is to log your exercise into your Fitbit which will then make the appropriate adjustments with MFP. This tends to be more accurate than logging exercise into MFP first and syncing that way.

Which means you save all your exercise calories for Sunday. A great strategy if it works for you!

People that go low carb typically go higher in fat because going both low carb and low fat would be incredibly restrictive and very expensive. I'd also guess that it would be lacking in essential nutrients too. Asking for a referral to see a registered dietician who specialises in diabetes would be a great place for you to…

Health isn't just about your physical health but also your mental health and wellbeing. If you are happier and just a smidgen over a BMI of 25 then you are far healthier than being miserable and under.

I'd say it is more likely to be coincidental more than anything else. My daughter has had significant allergies most of her life and has always been skinny and some times she is so much better than others. There are just so many things that affect allergies from year to year and season to season.

How are you measuring your calorie intake?

When it comes to being petite slow and steady wins the race. 1200 doesn't give much of a deficit so there is very little wiggle room for inaccuracies with logging before we stop seeing results. Concentrate on logging as accurately as possible by having a digital food scale and weigh EVERYTHING you eat, including…

Doesn't sound like something I could maintain for any period of time. In fact, for me, alternative days fasting sounds like a horrible way to live. I don't start anything I know I can't stick with long term because doing that just ends in disaster. If it is too hard I give up and just go back to old habits. This just means…

Weight loss happens in the kitchen. Fitness happens when you are out walking or cycling. If you want to lose weight put your stats in here then eat the calories a day it gives you. Add your exercise when you walk or ride and eat back at least half of them. To ensure you are logging your food accurately it is recommended to…

I used to be an emotional eater. When things got hard those biscuits, cakes and chocolate came out. It is a habit I managed to break. However, I found that if I told myself I couldn't eat something I craved it even more. Because of this, I worked out how to fit those treats into my allotted calories. I'd just make sure…

Having a loved one die by suicide I find his meme's depicting suicide equally as disturbing. Not funny in the slightest.

To start with don't use cups and measuring spoons to measure solid food. Use a food scale instead which is much more accurate. A cup of finely chopped broccoli will weigh much more than a cup of coarsely chopped broccoli. How big was your banana and brussel sprouts? Weight them also. Weigh the entire banana and then weigh…
