I've been averaging 1000 kcal per day, and haven't lost any for 8 days (13 stone 12). What should I do? I'm very sedentary as I'm a power wheelchair user.

I don't know how long you've been t trying to lose weight for but it's definitely not unusual for me to go 2, even 3 weeks without seeming to lose anything before the scales start shifting again. I'm a bit of a numbers saddo (I have a spreadsheet with graphs) which shows more of a stepwise weight loss than a straight line. You should definitely be losing overall at 1000 cal/day though so don't lose hope!
