For the last two weeks ny scale hasn't budged, not even an ounce. I was eating less than 1000 calories a day. Today I had a little over 1000 and ended up losing a pound and a half. This doesn't make sense lol

Do you exercise? And are you eating the calories you burn? I'm having trouble with my scale too. And I eat 800-900 calories a day.

Not exercising right now because it's too cold out, but as soon as it gets warmer I'm going to walk every day.

I have had those moments. Its so frustrating. When I went yesterday to the dr they said im notv eating enough. I am only getting between 4 to 500 calories a day. I never thought I would hear im not eating enough.

That is kind of my concern. I eat and then exercise, with the calories I burn I am only getting 200-300 calories.

The Np told me that puts your body in starvation mode and slows dow weightloss. I cant help it tho. Im petrified I will somehow fail!

Me too and I get conflicting info. My doctor says not to eat the calories back but the nutritionist says I should.

I have a 2 mo appt with my Dr in a week. I am going to ask him about the weight loss and daily calories consumed. This topic is very interesting to me and might help answer why I haven't lost the last couple weeks.

When I did try to eat a little more yesterday I lost a pound today.

Yeah it's odd, if I get over 1000 calories a day I'll drop weight, but if I eat less than 1000 my body holds onto the weight.

That makes sense to me. Your body is comfortable losing with 1000 but when you eat less it thinks its starving and doesn't let go. I think that's good that you found your ideal caloric intake.

Hopefully I wont stall again anytime soon. Im a nurse so it really is hard to get more than 600 calories in a day

Yes I'm glad I atleast know.

I know what you mean. I'm a CNA and every time I sat down to eat, a bell would go off and I was really busy.

I just find I run out of steam fast. Thats to be expected tho

I did too for the first couple of months.
