168 pounds, 5 ft 4, 46 years old, not very active-just some light walking at my job

Thanks so much for all your help. I am going to try to stick with 1700 and stay off the scales and see what happens!!:)

That seems like an awful lot of calories for me, I ate close to 1726 last night and gained 3 pounds overnight. How much weight do you think I'll gain before I start losing again, I am so frustrated..

Yes, I measure and weigh and journal EVERYTHING...do you think my calories are set right?

Please help. I am 41, 5" 5", 178 pounds and goal is 140. Right now I am really not exercising...I do go out with the kids shopping on the weekends, doing chores around the house but, not exercise. Right now my bmr is 1477, tdee is 1772 and I've been eating around 1512 calories a day for 3 weeks, still not losing. Before…

Thank you all for your posts. I stuck with 1500 for a few days, ate a better breakfast and now feel much more satisfied. Thanks again!!

I took Topamax for a while to counteract a med that was making me gain excess weight. Had to quit Topamax, my hair was falling out like crazy. Come to find out that is one of it's biggest side effects:(

Thank you so much!! You have been a big help. I would love to friend you for support:)

Thanks, I'll keep at it. Just trying to figure out if I should up my fat?? Lower my protein. I am staying under 20 carbs a day and have noticed my cravings are so much better than when I was eating all those carbs...(Oh, and I AM under a dr's care., see her every week, she's just more knowledgable about hcg and paleo..)

I opened diary... Been eating mainly meats, eggs, more eggs. I am sticking to below 20 carbs a day. Been swamped at work so haven't been exercising..BMR is 1552 and TDEE 1862...although I have been hanging around 1200..

Nice arms:)

I took topamax for a while as a appetite suppressant to counteract another drug that gave me a crazy appetite...I started losing alot of hair. The pharmacist told me it was the topamax so I quit it. It was a powerful suppressant though...

A big one for me was to be able to wear rings that I had "outgrown". Also getting into a smaller jean size. Any victory you celebrate without having to step on the scale. Good luck girl:)

I hit a plateau for about 4 months. Tried everything. In the end I finally broke through by changing up my exercise routine, upping my calories and watching my sodium intake. Your body gets use to you doing the same things so sometimes you need to mix things up a bit. Also I did up my protein and lower my carbs a tad. Just…
