You'll do fine - don't worry about fluctuations from time to time. I lost 80 lbs of pure FAT over 4 years....I did it slowly intentionally - and if I look at the scale right now - my weight has only changed about 40 lbs. So I've built a ton of muscle as well. I think it's awesome that you're doing this while you're still…

Imvelez - Sorry I have to run - but a quick look at your diary tells me this (a very quick look). You changed your goal from 1800 something to 2200 something. Was that because of a change in habits or just different site recommendations? Different sites use slightly different formulas and may include or exclude things…

Have you lost inches?

Hi there - don't be frustrated. What is your time frame for losing that 100 pounds? Do you work? Are you sedentary? How often do you work out? What do you do when you work out? It's tough to tell based on the limited information you have given us. If you're sedentary, you should probably be consuming about 2,300 calories…

And yeah - it is completely counter intuitive to eat more than less when you are trying to lose. But it works to do it right.

EDIT - DUH! I see that 12by311 is a username...sorry. Yeah - you need to factor in your exercise calories as well. I don't understand the 12by311?

It looks like you're eating too little. You are netting about 1,000 calories a day? If so your body may be storing more fat because it thinks you're starving. Question: Are you hungry? Weak? Tired?

It could also be that you are gaining a bit of muscle. Without seeing your diary it is difficult to tell. Do you drink a lot of water?

1 lb of body fat is roughly 3,500 calories. Adjust your burn according to your goal for fat loss. But keep in mind that fat loss doesn't necessarily equal weight loss. You can be gaining muscle weight while losing fat weight.
