Buddies I need your help!

I would've never thought that I'd end January pretty much where I started. During my previous weight loss attempts I was never able to bust through the 20 pounds lost mark and here I am sitting at 29 down for what seems like forever. To say I'm discouraged is an understatement.

I've been good this month, tracking everyday, continuing to fast a few days over the course of the month, and adding in HIIT twice per week.

I'm kind of wondering if I'm under eating considering I ate ~2,500 calories yesterday with no change on the scale but I wouldn't even know how to figure that out. I thought with eating between 1,200-1,800 calories daily my body wouldn't adapt.

I NEED to lose weight and so badly want to get the scale moving again. Can anyone offer some guidance on what you would change about my routine? It would be much appreciated.

I have been trying intermittent fasting. I only eat 500 calories from 6:00 pm Sunday night to 6:00 am Tuesday morning and then again Wednesday thru Friday. The first two times were really hard but yesterday went quite well. I also find that any kind of moving helps. I actually find a music station with upbeat music and dance around my living room for about 45 minutes maybe four days a week. My doggies think I'm nuts but I don't think they'll say anything ! LOL I generally eat about 1500 to 1600 calories a day and really watch to make sure it's healthy food. Yes, I still eat junk once in a while but it's OK as long as I stay in my calorie range. Denial leads to over-indulgence later so better to eat a little junk now than a boat load later. Hang in there and be strong. Remember that you're doing this for your health.

am gonna tell you how i did it but you have to go to my first journal post and read how i kinda broke into the reduction and kept going i was 132 now am 115 and its great. i know 2500 cal you will not reduce at all. from my research i found at 1400 i achieved no loss at all you need to be doing less i lost well between 600 per-day and 800 per-day. my breakfast was strictly 200 cal no lunch or 200 and supper 400. that makes the 600 or 800. converting these to meals is the real challenge that you have to do because i dont know what you eat. get low cal foods that you like or that you can learn to like wire them into your diet slowly over 3 weeks and if my experience is any thing to go by and its been good your body will adapt. note to you use water a lot to cover for the little food drink a lot before you eat it will make you less hungry at the beginning and after your body adapts no more worries. WHEN YOU START STICK WITH IT MOST IMPORTANT
