How much are you aiming to lose per week? Because MFP give you 1200 cals to lose approx 1-1.5lbs a week. if you want to loose less then this then change up your details on your account. I did struggle with the 1200 cals to begin with, but you learn on this that you can actually eat a lot using 1200 if you make good…

oh and try stay clear of scales! they are the devil :) go be measurements and how your clothes fit, as others have said muscle weighs more than fat and if your toning and shaping up you'll notice

For one thing I can't believe your doctor said to eat arond 800 cals!! Anyone I've every spoke to has always said 1200 is the lowest benchmark to remain healthy..how can 800 cals mean your getttin all the nutrients u need? I'v been working out and eating better since March and its been verrrry slow going, some months lose…

As the others said your muscle could be adding to your weight, u shouldnt go by weight, go by your measurements, you prob havent anything to loose wen u look at it that way! If your still stuck why not cut down on the carbs, from yor diary nearly every day your over on ur carbs, if cut down carbs and up your protein to…

Looking through your food diary there's some days where your over your calorie intake and sometimes well under, you should try and stay in line with your target calorie intake each day, and try stay inline with your fat intake and try not to go over, if you yo-yo on your calories your motabilism won't know what to do and…

You may stay within your calorie intake but your fat and saturated fat could be well over, as junk food tastes sooo good because its full of fat :) you should always stay within your fat and sat fat goals for the day. Im big junk foody to, its been so hard but I've cut back. I still treat myself every sunday to a take out…

From other posts and what other people tend to say is that you should even eat some of the gained calories from exercise as your body needs these for fuel after exercise or you may burn out. But it's all down to how you feel, if your hungry and maybe fatigued I would eat more calories within your Net intake, if your not…

Bad Habit!! :) your weight goes up and down throughtout day so try not to weigh yourself, and then if your exercising and gaining muscle your weight won't look like its going down at all as muscle weighs more than fat! best thing you should focus on instead of scales is inches, try focus more on your measurements once a…

You def should be eating more, at least 1200 calories a day especially if your exercising, your body will be starving and hanging onto every calories it can and your motabolis will so very slow so you'l not lose the weight your after. Also I'm exact same I'm losing inches rather than much weight, its down to putting on…

I'd go by your app and the calories it shows, because its actually tracking you outside and your walking up and down hills and against the wind etc so you burn much more calories. The one on MFP is just a generic one for those who use a treadmill and walk at this speed without going uphill etc. You can select this option…

You should always aim to try and eat your calories for the day, it keeps your motabilism up, if you start eatn to little your motabilism will slow down and your body will start to hold onto calories. You should have a treat even to even out your calories, that's what I do now and then if I've eaten so good all day and I'm…

The best/quickest way to benefit from cardio and lose weight is to do them all!! Interval cardio fitness is always recommended, so try to go round the machines doing flat out for 5-8 minutes, taking minute break then onto next machine for same. try do some quick weight strength training before u start cardio for 15 mins if…
