[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wouldn’t expect to lose weight on 1600 calories. Plus it will take more than a month.[/quote] I have very similar stats to OP and 2000 calories is eating on deficit for me. At 1600 I would be starving. It really depends how much a person needs to lose. OP should just be more patient. She likely lost some fat already but it is masked by water retention caused by exercise. I would give it a few more weeks before lowering calories further. And OP by all means keep up with the strength training. I agree that it sounds like your muscle mass is very low and as a complete beginner you should be able to build some even in a deficit. For extra activity I would just walk. Most higher intensity cardio is unnecessarily stressful when you are dieting, particularly HIIT. [/quote]
