I'm sore and having some difficulty getting the fluids I need down. I have some fluid retention and have not lost any weight? When should I start seeing weight loss.
Your maintenance calorie intake will be about 10 times your maintenance weight. So if you want to maintain at 130, then your calories will be about 1300.
Taking off more weight now will not change that. If you are more active, you might maintain at 12 times your weight, if less active at 8 times your weight. Everyone finds the amount that works for their body.

Thank you everyone for getting back to me. All it takes is for someone to simply point out the obvious, something I was missing, about dropping my calorie intake. Is there a particular protein shake you guys can recommend that tastes palatable and not like medicinal gloop? And any yummy recipe ideas as I sacrifice carbs and veg at mealtimes to get the protein in otherwise I am way off the mark.
Am glad you guys are here to ask.
Thank you and I wish you all a wonderful prosperous New Year, roll on 2020!

Hello Sparklekitty,
I think you got it right, I need to drop the calorie intake now, will do from today, fingers crossed it works. I might just have to invest in some protein shake it's the only way to get a lower calorie protein hit.

Hello The Wombat,
Fabulous advice. I absolutely never ever drink and eat my absolute platinum rule so that's cool, I do hate brekky if I omit it do you think that's OK? Plus I hate protein drinks so am worried about missing out on my protein intake. Having said that I didn't lose anything even when I hit my protein target daily last week.
I have established its the calorie in rake I need to reduce it and see what happens.

Hello Holly Kim,
Thank you for getting back to me.
I tend to eat protein, no carbs with my meals, usually no veg as there is no room left so I am probably not eating quite right. I hate protein shakes as they remind me of that awful slim fast shake, unless there is one that tastes like McDonald's Strawberry shake if course!
Not sure what to eat to stay satisfied in 600-800 calories and hit my protein target..... ?
Hello White Dove,
I think I am worried that if I drop more calories, which I know I will have to do, if my body adjusts to that intake I wont be able to increase much to maintain before I might gain..... But a sacrifice I must make! ?
Hello Grim_Traveller,
I think you are right, I need to drop my calories. I do track everything but as I am over 1000 calories in consumption I think that's the problem. I will take your advice and cut back to 900 initially then go to 800 if need be.
Feel like I will be in starvation mode again! ?
