Help!?

[losing_it]

I'm new to this forum so I don't really know where to start. I'm only two weeks into my weight loss and already feeling frustrated.

The first week I cut my calorie intake to below 1,400. I lost about 12.5 lbs and knew my weight loss would slow down after my first week.

Now this week I'm still cutting to under 1,400 and working out on the treadmill usually 45 mins-1 hr everyday and I have not lost A pound. I usually burn about 200-300 calories/per day.

I'm thinking I'm not eating enough and maybe going into hoard mode? I'm not sure and I need some advice from some people who've got experience with this. I'm currently 247.5 pounds(yikes!)...what should I be eating in calories?

Any other tips?

Hi!

Pequin posted posted this Discovery Health :: Calculators :: Basal Metabolic Rate in my diary and I found it useful to figure out how many calories I needed. Apparently 500cal less than this is a good place to start, but since you exercise regularly, you might need a bit more?

Sparkpeople is good for figuring out that sort of thing too.
