Use the chart that LISfify suggested. I used that and it's pretty accurate. I eat around 1350, burn under a 1000 and losing 2lbs a week. I walk in lieu of the gym. You're not doing enough cardio. You need to work out at least 6x a week for an hour. HIIT burns more than regular cardio.

SSLockhart, You're correct! Muscle is just leaner.

I was having the same problem as Tricia85 until I changed my diet and gym regiment. I decided to try Keto, which was a disaster! I didn't lose nothing and my hair was coming out. The minute I went back to Atkins, the fat started falling off. I lift weights and do HIIT as well.

A lot of people think Keto is the best route, but one diet doesn't fit all. We must listen to our bodies. I'm supposed to get 145 grams of protein a day. We need that muscle to fight fat and boost our metabolism.

A pound of fat and muscle weigh the same! People need to do their research before offering their advice. As I stated earlier, cut back on your calories and carbs. You will start to see a difference. Follow Atkins. You may not be getting enough protein as well. You need that to help build muscle.

Honestly, I think you need to check out Atkins.com. It's free. I use that as my gauge and I'm losing inches and pounds. BTW I'm 51!!! I'm down 14lbs.

Do some HIIT (run 45 seconds, jog 1 minute, walk 1 minute, repeat 10 times). Set the treadmill for 35 minutes. You'll need at least 5 to 6x a week.

Lift some weights!!! The heavier, the better. When you don't have muscle mass, your metabolism is shot.

Cut back on your calories (Don't go under 1200 calories). Low carb, HIIT and weight lifting, will get you where you need to be. I hope that helps.
