[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 38, 5'3", 125-130lbs, and a size 4-6. I eat 2000-2500 calories a day to maintain, but I'm also very active. And it's not genetic, as I lost about 60lbs a few years ago. But my exercise is more intense than walking (which burns no calories for me) - running, weights, higher intensity cardio, etc.

OP, I think you must be eating/drinking more calories than you think. Are you eating out a couple nights a week? That can add up. Eating samples in the grocery store? Grazing a little bit here and there? Drinking milk, juice, wine, a beer, some seltzer? It all counts. [b]I highly, highly doubt you're a scientific anomaly[/b]. [/quote]

I always question accuracy in these posts. I find that more often than not, people are not accurately or CONSISTENTLY tracking or staying in a true deficit. [/quote]

You must have never struggled with weight loss.  Believe me I am tracking EVERYTHING, down to a bite of my kids' dinner to make sure it's not too hot.  I do not drink alcohol or milk or juice.  I used to drink A LOT of diet soda but have been cutting back.[/quote]

I'm pp who lost around 60lbs, and call BS. You're not tracking your calories accurately, OP.

I've struggled with my weight and I've said the same thing in the past - "I'm only eating 1200 calories and not losing weight!!!" I was lying to myself. I was eating more than I thought, and also not exercising hard enough to shake my metabolism. Lots of us tell ourselves lies. You're not alone, but you're also not tracking honestly, OP, or you're majorly over eating on your non-1100 calorie days.  It is, in fact, science.
