Let's be honest you didn't get to your weight eating a 1,000 calories. The rapid weight loss you're dealing with now is water weight. Are you using a food scale? If not I would recommend starting to do so, and tracking how many calories you're consuming. Eat the amount MyFitnessPal mentioned, and set your rate of loss to 1…

You said "pretty healthy on a daily basis", but do you use a food scale to measure your intake? Or count your calories? A food scale will give you a good estimate on the calories in what you're consuming. You're definitely eating more than you think.

Eat at maintenance for those days, or just eat whatever you want, and get back to your weight loss goals the days afterwords. I'm personally okay with gaining 0.5 pounds and enjoy a few days of celebration personally, but to each their own.

You have a BMI of 22.7 so it's in the normal range you don't even have to lose weight. I used the National Insitutute of Health BMI calculator. I would reccomended eating at maintenance if you don't have a food scale buy one, and if you want to tone up incorporating a progressive lifting or even adding resistance to your…

Are you using a food scale? I think you're eating more calories than you think as well. If you're truly eating at a deficit you'll lose weight.

Weigh in day: Sunday Height: 5'3 SW: 188 LW: 149 June 10- 154.2 June 18- 151.8 @xchocolategirl GW: 140.[/quote] I lost a bit because most of the weight I gained from 150 to 154.2 was due to me eating a lot of sodium.

Try the new calorie number you mentioned are you using a food scale? Because this will help tighten up your accuracy.

One of the causes of loose skin not all is losing weight at a rapid weight. I would recommend losing weight at a slower pace, staying hydrated, and incorporating a program that does not only include cardio but also strength training. Progressive lifting or even adding some resistance to your cardio will help. The thing is…

Honestly if you were really eating 1,000 calories you would be losing weight. Oftentimes people underestimate the calories they eat if they're going off of food labels which can underestimate by 20% possibly even more. The best way to track intake is by using a food scale. Telling yourself oh I'm not losing weight on 1,000…

Not for me I like to lose weight in a more healthy manner 0.5 pounds works for me. I hope things work out, or feel free to adjust your standards just in case.

I was going to say you're at a healthful weight if you're trying to tone up more I would recommend body recomption you eat at maintenance and you focus more on cardio and some strength training like lifting if you want. Or you could add resistance to your cardio. However, since you're not losing weight I would say continue…

Are you sure it's not a cold sore? Oftentimes they could be in the same area that canker sores usually are. I would recommend getting tested for herpes cold sores are also called herpes simplex one. If you got tested and it's not a cold sore I would recommend trying the products that people reccomended also try emergency!

What's your current height and weight? oftentimes recomposition eating at maintenance and incorporating cardio and a progressive strength training program might be a better strategy than trying to lose weight.

I weigh myself every single morning it's the way for me to see how what I'm eating and how it effects my weight.

I love this idea!! I was at my lowest weight 150 pounds until I gained like 7 pounds in 4 days. I ate so much food and a lot of sodium. Week 1 Weigh in day: Sunday Height: 5'3 SW: 188 LW: 149 CW: 154.2 GW: 140.

I would recommend seeing a professional.

But why start trying to lose weight in an unhealthy manner? Eating only 1000 calories is really unhealthy. You can lose weight by eating at a normal deficit. I'm not sure if you know this but rapid weight loss can cause loss of muscle, stretch marks, loose skin, tiredness, fatigue. Cold sweats, hair loss, and lots of other…

What's the point? Any weight loss you do is just going to come back on and than some. I've read countless posts on this site where people mention trying to lose x amount of weight within x amount of time and gaining it all back. You're better off trying to lose 0.5 pounds a week or even 1 pound a week and eating the…

What's your current height and weight? I agree with people who mentioned getting a food scale if you don't have it, and all you need is a calorie deficit to lose weight. I lost the first 30 pounds without even working out so you got this!
-
Why are you eating so few calories? What's your current height and weight? What do you have your goal set to on MyFitnessPal? If it's set to lose 2 pounds a weight update it to lose 1 pound a week. I'm 5'3 and 150 pounds I'm currently eating 1600 calories and losing weight. Good luck!
-
Hello!! Thanks for providing the necessary information. I would recommend changing your goal on MyFitnessPal to lose 1 pound instead of trying to lose 2 pounds. You're 213 pounds if my conversion is correct and you're 5'9. I would also recommend adding strength training into your workout. I'm not sure if you're into…

Just wanted to let you know food labels can be a little off as well by even 20%. You could be eating a bit more than you think. I'm curious as well about why you're not interested in fresh food.
-
It seems what you're doing is not working for you. Have you considered using the MyFitnessPal calorie amount listed and aim to lose 1 pound a week and see how that works out for you? Also if you're not using a food scale I would highly recommend it. Good luck!
