  • @JeromeBarry1 You may have misunderstood me; I've been at 1500 for 7 weeks, not 7 months. I did try decreasing to 1300 and ended up plateau-ing after 2 weeks. Perhaps it was too low? Different calculators are suggesting different calorie intake amounts based on my activity level and it is confusing. Is there an actual test…
  • So is 1500 calories too much or too little for me?
  • @kimny72 Yes, I use a food scale. I measure, weigh, and track everything I eat and count all calories. If there is one thing I am sure of, I know exactly how many calories I eat. And I only drink water.
  • @jennyf55 I heard that my body would go into starvation mode if I fast. The last time I tried it, it worked for like 1 pound of weight loss. But I ended up plateau-ing and gaining the weight back again when I went back to 1500 calories. Is there a certain technique that I need to implement?
  • @Machka9 MFP says I should eat 1320 calories a day, which is drastically different from the 2400 that I got from FatSecret.com. 1320 seems to little to me...
  • @Tapout112009 I'll try to switch it up again with my macros. I've been taking my measurements and I've seen some progress but it is minimal. My clothes fit the same for the past 3 months. There was a few weeks when my hip measurement increased by half an inch.
  • @jenilla1 Exactly! 162 is far from what I am used to. 140 is my super goal, but I've abandoned that dream after my 7th month of plateau-ing. Have you gone through a weight loss plateau before? If so, how did you break through it? I really don't know what else to try.
