:/. Thinking this is probably due to not tracking carefully enough (especially at night), not measuring, and not paying enough attention to my macros.
I'm cutting back from 1300 to 1200 and recommiting to my macro goals.
Trying hard not to feel discouraged because really do love this app and I think it could make big difference for me, but it's hard to see the scale go up so early in the game.
Ok, gonna tell myself what I tell others: time to give myself some GRACE and move forward. :)

I'm hitting bumps in the road as well right now and it's hard not to just throw up my hands and dig into the candy... but we CAN DO THIS!!! For me I have to take it one second at a time right now, but every second I resist is a WIN!!!!!

What helps me is to remember that this is a journey to a new way of eating, not just a weight fix. The weight loss is supposedly a bonus--or so I keep telling myself! :)

Commit to keeping your carbs at 25 or less per day. Try to keep your Calorie count at or less than 1200, (Carbs are more important than calories, but keep an eye on your protein levels. Protein is the body's healer and re-builder). You can find that there are many things you can eat while keeping carbs low, and you'll be able to eat the things you like again later, when you reach your weight goals, but right now, you have to focus on getting there. Once there, keep in mind that you can enjoy these things but like a gas tank in a car you need to use up the fuel you put in the tank before you fill it up again. I have a habit of putting extra fuel in my car, I got it strapped on the fenders, the bumpers, even hanging off the doors... I'm working on it though.

You may consider instead of reducing your calories, that you try intermittent fasting. there are various ways to fast. For starters I would stay at 1300, or even higher depending on your height and weight, then on two separate days say Monday and Thursday and on those days consume only 500 calories. This fast is called 5:2 fasting. There is even a website dedicated to it. I'm doing a much stricter fast. Too, I'm on a ketogenic diet. My fast is 23;1. I fast for 23 hours and eat one large meal. I'm quite happy fasting. Fasting has many benefits besides weight loss.

If you are having diet soda, diet food like Atkins products or non keto approved artificial sweeteners it WILL affect your weight loss efforts.

Thank you guys so much for your support! The plan I've decided to go for, recommended by my chiropractor/nutritionist is a roughly 40% protein, 40% fat and 20% carbs per day regimen, where grains especially are avoided. Still aiming for 1200 calories per day. That puts me around 60 grams of carbs per day (including all of the carbs in my veggies and such, of course). According to him, it's not just about the carbs but about the quality of the carbs. I think the key is in letting go of grains, especially simple grains, being more conscious of fruit, and sugar.
