[quote=Anonymous]I'm 35 with similar stats... I've been trying to stick to 1400-1500 calories/day and working out at least three times a week and I've only lost 5 pounds since July (3 months). It is slow going, but I've learned that's how it goes. I recently found out (through a gym assessment) that my resting metabolic rate is around 1400 calories. Add 20% for a person with a desk job, so I'm at about 1680 calories burned per day if I don't work out. So if I eat 1400 calories and don't work out, that's only a 280 calorie deficit. One pound of fat = 3,500 calories, meaning it takes me about 12-13 days to lose a single pound. So when I work out the math, it actually makes sense why it's only been 5 pounds since mid-July. I haven't been perfect, and even slight slip-ups make a big difference. Basically what I'm saying is that it's probably not that your weight gain won't come off... it just takes a long time, and that's totally normal.[/quote]
