  • Based on my experience you are going into starvation mode. 1200 calories is not a lot to live on if you are nor excersing but then to exercise and not provide your body the extra calories is just making matters worse.

  • I agree- protein is huge. I drink a protein drink which is really helpful. I also am active. Also I eat about 250 more cals than this website suggests and lose enough that I feel like I am making headway but not too much.

  • Don't let 1 bad day/meal throw you off of the great work you have been doing. Tomorrow is a new day- get back on the band wagon and kick some *kitten*
  • I had the same EXACT problem and agree with Queentipsie. Once I started eating more (instade of 1272 cals/day about 1500-1600/day) I quickly moved down and have lost a few lbs a week for the next few wks. I know it sounds backwards but give it a try! Also- I started drinking a whey protein drink in the morning instead of…
