[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here... to answer questions:

Yes I track each and every item, even if it’s something as little as 10 calories  (mustard, low cal dressing etc).

When I say a cheat day, I mean ill do good all day and then maybe indulge a little bit with going out to dinner (but even then, I don’t go crazy, but its still over the 1200 mark) and/ or have a couple glasses of wine).  But thats once a week, tops.

Ive been at this plateau about 4 weeks.

On the MFP app, i can see where my various levels are (sodium, fiber etc) as well as watch my carb/fat/protein ratio, and I always try to stay within the limits.

are you measuring and weighting everything? not just eyeball tracking but measuring it all?

My honest opinion on plateaus is that they typically happen because over time we get comfortable at out new weight, feel good and start being less accurate in our tracking. Allowing ourselves more treats and so forth.  Because if you are truly only eating 1200 cal/day, which is honestly too low for your weight, you should not stop losing weight. Weight loss will slow down as you get closer to your goal weight because your current weight is lower and requires less calories to maintain, thus creating a smaller calorie deficit, but you won't stop losing all together because there should still be a deficit.
