So I just responded to strongerthanfood's post about the basic concept of being in a calorie deficit. I pretty much have the SCIENCE of it down pat, but yet when I am applying this to myself, it's not working this time!!
I have used 2 different calorie calculators, one saying calories for loss should be around 1435 and the other around 1595. I am counting calories everyday just like in the past, measuring and weighing things and I am trying to keep it around 1450-1500. I cycle my calories so I have a couple of high days around 17-1800, 2 low days set at 1200 and the rest in between. I am exercising and yet I have remained the same weight give or take a pound, today marks the 10th day that nothing is changing.
Any ideas as to what is going on here? I feel devastated because I am doing the same exact things I did before that helped me shed almost 30 lbs. Going over my past weight loss, I do see that my weight fluctuated a bit before dropping, but not for this long, usually I would see the same weight for several days and then a big whoosh would come my way.
UPDATE: The scale finally moved an entire pound this morning!
