Hey Darcy-
My first thought when I saw your initial post that you were eating an average of 1200 calories a day was that it was no where near enough, and that might explain why the scale hasn't moved at all, though you are loosing inches.

I started working out a lot this year, and was being really good about what I ate, and while I was more toned I wasn't loosing any weight... the scale seemed stuck at 148.... at 5'3", while not horrible, I knew that my body should want to be lower. I thought I needed to cut my calories even more... did that after christmas... was eating about 1400/day while working out ~5-6 days a week (spin classes, bodypump, and riding outdoors when the weather permitted), but again, no weight loss....hmmmm... got me thinking, maybe I am eating too little to sustain the activity level and my body is in "starvation mode". I did a test and upped my calories to ~ 1600-1700/day and what do you know, the weight started coming off. I have lost 10 lbs in the past 3 months without even trying, and it is still coming off. In addition to the weight I have dropped 1-2 sizes in my clothes and NONE of my pants fit anymore!

Here is a great website that my roommate showed me, that will actually explain the different calorie needs calculators and will give your maintence level, fat loss level, and extreme fat loss (the rock bottom of calories you should eat a day before the body will go into starvation). It also takes into account your sex, age, height, and activity level. http://www.freedieting.com/tools/cal...alculator.htm#

You are obviously doing something right with the increase in your fitness and health levels, but I would suggest trying to up your calories for a couple of weeks and see what happens. If you stay the same I vote for some the others suggestions that you talk to your Dr, and maybe try to see a nutritionist.

Good luck!
