i'm really not sure, but you might try upping your workouts. maybe more intense or longer durations? lowering my calorie count worked for about a month when i first started, but then i had to add in some intense workouts for the weight to come off.

good luck!

What about water? Have you been drinking enough? Usually I drink over two liters of water a day.

Another thought is to up your fiber intake, but this also requires more water, so I'd start with the water first.

Also, (before I get too preachy-sorry!) most people on this site recommend more than 1200 Calories if you're going to be working out. I eat 1500-1700 Calories every day.

I'm probably not drinking enough water so I will try drinking more and see if that helps.

Thanks!

I have lost 15 lbs since the day after Easter, and I can tell you it did NOT come off evenly. I wish...I just went 3 weeks going up and down a pound. Then this morning it's down 2 lbs. So it's more like two steps forward one step back. Just keep doing the right thing, eating well, and moderate exercise 30 minutes a day. You will get healthier.

Mine doesn't come off evenly either. 17 pounds in ~3 months. Didn't lose anything for a couple of weeks in April, and then May rolled around and 3 pounds fell off almost immediately. Didn't do anything different.... but that's the way it goes. I've only just entered in the third pound lost because I didn't believe it was real.

Edit:  Oh, and I'm 5'4" and 155 now.  I have been losing on 1500-1600 calories with occasional 2000 calorie days.  I agree you're probably not getting enough calories. 

I'm a little confused because CC recommends that  my target is 1200 given my stats (I'm 29 and sedentary)?

Thanks Liz, that really clears some things up for me. I have been trying to wrap my head around how CC came to that number and your reply definitely helps!

I agree with everyone else here.  If I don't eat between 1500 - 1600 calories, I stall out.   Sometimes the days I eat a little above even that, are the days I see a drop the next morning.

That being said, I regularly see 5 - 8 days between drops in the scale.  Patience is part of the key.  It's tough at first, but hang in there.  You'll get used to waiting to see changes in the scale number.    If it makes you feel any better, I sometimes even have it go up a pound and then the next day I've lost that pound  and one more!

When you restrict calories severely you may experience an intial weight loss, but probably none of it is actually fat.  You need to eat enough to more than maintain the basic functions of life, or your body will do whatever it can to hang onto its fat stores.  The first thing that it uses up in starvation mode (and that's what you're doing on 1200 calories a day) is muscle tissue, because this is more expensive to maintain than fat, metabolically speaking.  You need to increase your muscle mass, which will mean more calories burned throughout the day, not just when you are working out.  That also means you have to supply your body with enough energy to grow those muscles. 

I would suggest you incorporate some workouts that challenge you both in terms of cardio and muscle strength.  And increase that calorie consumption to at the least 1500 calories.  My own personal experience would suggest you up that to about 1900, but I don't know your metabolism, genetic makeup or eating preferences.
