That type of fluctuating is perfectly normal, continue on and it will drop. Your menstrual cycle, sleep, salt in your food all effect your scale weight. Your smart scale is not 100% accurate. Mine can show a lb of muscle difference in a day. You need to understand these fluctuations are normal and once there is a downward…

I would say to try and work a nice evening treat into your daily calories. Unfortunately some self control and will power needs to be exercised also. It doesn't have to be all or nothing though. You've had a tough few months go easy on yourself. I find once I'm exercising my mood improves and It lifts me out of the funk…

I can't see your diary your settings are still on private for me. As an older person the quality of your nutrition is really important. Are you getting enough protein? Collagen? Glycerine? Iron? Nutrient dense food? You don't want to be thin and frail as you age you really do need to keep yourself strong with good muscle…

Please recommend some sustainable diets or macros, or calorie intake that can kickstart this for me!! Thank you![/quote] The only sustainable diet is one you can stick to. Work out your maintenance calories, reduce by 500 and there you have it. It really is that simple. There is no need to over complicate it. Calorie…

Buy a scales, weigh and measure your food. Don't cut your calories ridiculously low. Don't cut out all of your favourite foods either find a way to work them in. Walking is a great way to start adding activity into your day. You can walk with your baby buggy. Running after a toddler in the park is a great way to burn some…

Time to up your calories. 1300 is way too low. You don't say how old you are, what are your activity levels like? 1300 cals for 6 months is a massive stress on your body. Do you have any idea what your maintenance calories are? You need to work that out then just deduct from there to be in a deficit. You absolutely should…

I suggest you open your diary and those with more experience will be able to help you out.

What is his current activity level like. Simply adding in a daily walk/workout and cutting back on sugary snacks, fizzy drinks and reducing portion sizes could make a huge difference and doesn't require that much effort. He is quite tall so he would still need quite a big calorie requirement every day. He could simply swap…

You are already making the correct changes for your health and well being. It's going to be a real eye opener for you when you start weighing your food. Fill up on lots of veggies and salads at every meal. You need to eat enough to fuel your body in a healthy way and that includes fueling your exercise. Increase your…

Are you weighing and measuring everything though? You could easily be eating a few extra hundred calories a day without realising.

You could add some back in, say 200/300 to allow an extra snack per day. Congratulations on the weight loss.

If you have list 10 inches you definitely have lost fat but added on muscle so the scale is not moving too much. You have done a recomp which is what happens to most newbies when they start exercising regularly. You want to keep the muscle and drop the fat only. This takes a slow and steady approach. Your calorie deficit…

You say you are tracking but you don't say how many calories are in any of those things. How many calories a day are you aiming to eat. If you were under your calories every day for 3 weeks you would see a loss. Again, you say you are tracking Are you weighing and measuring everything out, are you choosing correct entries…

Are you weighing your food? Tracking every single thing that passes your lips? How do you know you are staying well under your calories? How many calories a day are you aiming for? No one here cares what you weigh. But if you ask for help and advice you will get it.

The honest opinion is your stats are fine but who knows? You didn't ask for advice on losing body fat, putting on muscle etc. You don't give any info on your diet, exercise regime etc. Numbers on there own mean nothing.

I weigh myself every day, I'm not obsessed with the scales it's a set of numbers and data I use to help me meet my goals. How much do you need to lose. How long has it taken you to lose the 9lbs.

Other people and social media is not the place to look for validation. What do you expect complete strangers who know nothing about you to say. Either you are happy with yourself and if not eat well and exercise to feel better.

I would either reverse up to maintenance and /or build for a while. You look very young so you should see good results. You don't say what height you are so you may just need to recomp rather than keep losing.

Working out every day and restricting your calories so severely when you are post partum is not a good idea. Your hormones are still settling. You are also breastfeeding, you are putting your metabolism under stress and it will respond accordingly. Work out your tdee and reduce your calories by 500 per day. Work out 3…

You need to start reversing your diet and slowly bring your calories back up. Start by adding 100 calories per week. Allow for your weight fluctuations of +/- 5lb And that is your sweet spot.

Read the success stories posts. There is lots of really great information there. It is normal for your weight to go up and down. You need to eat in a slight calorie deficit to lose weight steadily you do not need to starve yourself or over exercise.
