Eating around 1200 but not losing weight

Hi everyone!

I’ve never posted on here before so if I’m breaking any rules or anything I apologize in advance.

So basically I (F20) started at 135 and fasted/ate 600 calories until I reached 125 (which I know is not a good thing). However, now that I’m home from college, I can’t eat at 600 so I decided I wanted to follow a healthier, longterm weight loss diet at around 1200 calories. I use MFP and log everything I eat religiously, and always err on the side of caution. I have also started running and now run 10k pretty regularly and an training for the half marathon.

However, despite working out more and eating around 1200 I have actually gained two pounds this past week. I’m not sure what it is that I’m doing wrong, and if I maybe need to lower my caloric intake again (my goal weight is around 115).

If y’all have any advice or help please let me know! I’m so strict about eating only 1200 calories so I can’t understand why I’m gaining weight. (Also all my meals are healthy home cooked meals as well).

Thank you!!
