Maybe you've set your goal too low? 

What’s your daily caloric intake? 

About 1000-1200kcal a day, minus about 300 from activity 

I don't think 120 is too low since I've been able to get there before, but I'm not sure if there's anything else I'm supposed to do. I just hope it's temporary 

Mine’s around 1200 calories too. I read up on some articles that mentioned that we shouldn’t go below 1200 a day. I found them interesting. Easy to google. I’m in a similar situation, I can’t get rid of the final 8 lbs.  

I've been recommended weight lifting so I'll try it...nothing too intense since I'd just be starting 😫 

try eating a little bit more (100 cals a day for a week)... sometimes your body thinks it's starving and holds on to everything... always works for me 

That's worth a shot!  

You might want to figure out your basal metabolic rate and set your calories by that rather than not going lower than 1200. Here's a site for you: https://www.active.com/fitness/calculators/bmr And I vote for the weight lifting. It will help keep your metabolic rate from dropping, particularly important since you're eating so few calories right now. 

I know if I go with my estimate basal metabolic rate I'll gain weight, that happened to me last time unfortunately. My metabolism is a bit lower than it calculated 😭 

If you add the weight lifting and build muscle, that will turn around. I'm talking to me as much as to you LOL I really need to do that. 

I really think that's what I gotta do. I don't wanna, but I gotta 😤 so I'm right there with you 

I'm starting with soup cans. No sense in getting all crazy about it at the start.
