I followed my TDEE…

WANT to eat more than 1200 but just gain weight HELP
Please advise, I didn't believe in the Plateau, but its seemingly hit. I've reached 132llbs great stuff, I'm 35 female, 5ft 7. But I would have liked to have gone further, at least to 126llbs.

house cleaning not exercise?
Hi, Having read a few post debates I've come across mixed reviews of this. This site logs housework as exercise (I for one logged mine when I was eager for that choc bar and desperate to eat back calories 1200 pre exercise was making me weak,) . However many views are that this should not be counted. I am a stay at home…
