If you are not losing weight, it means you are not on deficit.

Stick to a 800 cal diet on a week and you will lose weight

Hello Aphrodite,
How is it going? Had you been losing weight, then gained some? Could it be related to your monthly cycle that can cause many women to hold on to water weight?
Here is are two articles on dealing with plateau to help you sort through things.

Something that works for a lot of my friends, calorie cycle daily. 800, 1500, 1200,600,2000,etc. Stay strong, it will come!!

I have been there... jarring the system might help (the cycling through various calorie counts) + walking..

Maximizing exercise can definitely help get the scale moving! Also, have you been tracking your measurements? There is a section for measurements on app under "me". Many people see progress with inches more dramatically than pounds lost.
You've got this! Brenda (MyNetDiary Dietitian)

What three areas should you measure. I can jump up and down and clearly see plenty of fat.
