More calories, More calories, More calories I can't stress this enough What are your stats?? Current weight height?? do not listen to the person who is advising you to net 900 to 1200 cals you should be netting more than 1200

Eat above your BMR and 20% under TDEE Don't starve yourself to lose weight, you don't need to 1200 cals will send you into plateaus most definately. This happened to me so many times until I started eating more Good Luck :0)

This This This ^^^^^^^^^^^^

Eat over 1543 per day and the wait will start coming off. 1543 is your BMR this is what your body would need each day if you were in a coma. This amount of calories just makes your body function without moving. Work out your TDEE, I plateaued so many times on 1200cals a day Eat plenty of lean meat, eggs, vegetables, nuts,…

If you have calculated your BMR and TDEE, unless you have set your TDEE to sedentary you should not be eating your cals back. Did u select sedentary?

Thanks for running those stats for me anyway :0) Yeah I figured I'm not much over BMR with 1500 especially if I'm going to start strength training 3 times a wk I will play around with my numbers over the next few weeks and see what gives me best results for both weight loss and lifting Thanks again

I'd say it depends on your BMR, figure out what that is and stay above that and below TDEE, you should do just fine. Good luck :0)

Harris calculates my BMR at 1447 according to fat2fit. Scoobysworkshop under Mifflin it estimates my BMR 1388 and Harris 1439 This is according to: Current Weight - 142lbs Height - 66inches (5ft 6") Age - 29 Female I do believe I should be shooting around 1500-1600cals per day so this is what I will aim for over the next…

Based on your height, weight and age your BMR is 1648, this is what your body needs daily jus for your organs, brain and everything else to function. I plateaued so many times eating 1200 cals. U should try and eat above your BMR and do strength training 3 times per week. Good luck :0)

Thanks for the reply I'm a little confused on how you got that number for my BMR, I have got it at 1440. My activity level would be light at the moment maybe a few hours a wk of squats, lunges etc. I would definately want the best results from however much time I spend on exercise I have a desk job so most of my day is…

I have just started EM2WL. I lost about 28lb on 1200cals a day but then plateaued and could never understand why, until now. When I hit a plateau about 9 months ago I was getting frustrated, so I decided to try another diet "Slimming World" (UK based). The scales started moving again and I lost about another 14lb, I…

I would say 1200 cals is to low for you. What is your current weight, height??

I made these last night but whole eggs, 2 eggs 1 banana, they were yummy :0))

This^^^ Your BMR is at least 1800, eat above this and 20% below TDEE. You are not giving you body enough fuel. I know you say u have upped cals before, but how long did you try it for and how much did you up cals by??

This^^^^

I see you say " If I want " well that's just fine because " your " not eating any of it. So ppl can make what they like and call it what they like if they enjoy it. Chill out!! :0)

Eat above your BMR and 20% below your TDEE, Strength training 3 times a week, 10k steps a day. I think you maybe shooting a little high with 10lb in a month as you don't have much to lose now. Good luck

Open your diary to see if we can give you any pointers. How many calories are you consuming a day??

Thank you for these posts, my weight loss plateau now makes total sense. I was having 1200 cals per day for a long time thinking I was doing this right and lost about 28lbs. I wracked my brains thinking why have I plateaued I still have at least another 28lbs to go. So I decided to take a different approach to losing…

Yeah, look at them guns!! ;0p
