[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP how tall are you? Starting weight? How fast are you trying to lose?

I maintained 1200 for a good while using LoseIt, and gained it all right back when I tried to enter a maintenance phase. I switched to a flexible plan in July where I eat 1500 during the week and 1800 Fri/Sat. It is so much easier and I'm consistently losing .5-1lb/week w/o being hungry.[/quote]

Thanks, I am 5’6” and currently weigh 150, trying to get back to 140 since 135 is never happening again.

I have done a lot of keto in the past but I need to stay away from too much meat so thought I would try something different, but I still eat very few carbs and I also do IF so I only eat between 12-6pm. Lose It recommended 1200 calories for 1-2 lbs per week. But maybe I do need to bump it up a bit. Once I get to 140 I plan to add more back to help maintain.[/quote]
Don’t give up on yourself OP!  I am 5’6 and dropped from 160 to 130 last year and have maintained it. I do keto, but am vegetarian. I eat a lot of veggies, eggs, nuts, olives, cheese - this works way better for me than calorie tracking which always felt like starvation. But either way, don’t sell yourself short. Your body can do this, it just takes time and willpower to stick to a plan. [/quote]
