    Thanks...I do use most of my own recipes unless I eat out. Then I use the restaurant and food item. I have my own recipe blog just so I can help myself track my calories.

    I suggest drinking more water and doing a couple of workouts right before you sleep-some people say that you burn more calories that way

    Thanks I'll try that. Logging my water is something I do forget. I drink a ton of water, and rarely track it.

    When you quote you can just type below the quote. You don't have to create a new reply.

    so just to be totally clear. since december u havent lost a pound? most days you are eating very low. often below the recommended intake. if you are as accurate as u say then even without weighing everything u should be losing atleast a bit. have u spoken with your dr? have they been able to recommend anything?

    In my opinion, In the entries of the food, it is best to put every single thing (as long as it shows that in the search) you have eaten. Example: Baked Potato with Salt and Pepper. I'd enter the Potato, Pepper, and Salt. Make sure you measure everything and add that to your entries. If you don't follow everything with technicality, then you'll lose the direction you want to head towards.

    Rather you workout in the morning, afternoon, or night time, it doesn't matter. The key is to exercise when it's best for you. Some folks work in the evening or at night, so that isn't possible for them.

    Btw, some medication can make it harder to lose weight, too, so look into those as well. If you do take any, that is.

    Yes! He put me on phentermine for 3 months... Not 1pound was shed. He just prescribed a new weight-loss pill. I do not remember what it's called.

    I've also cut out coffee and other caffeine. Even decaffeinated coffee.

    If all of everything you said is 100% accurate you are beyond the advice of internet people. You should seek the advice of a different doctor. One that will diagnose the actual problem instead of prescribing you pills that could potentially harm you.

    i agree. unless somehow u are forgetting to log hundreds of calories a day u should be seeing atleast a few lbs a month. to see absolutely 0 is baffling. im sorry i can see how disheartening that would be. according to your diseases website it should only cause 10-20lb weight gain and that would be mostly water weight. now i may be out in left field but some people find great success in intermittent fasting. having 2 very low calories days a week and 5 regular. maybe its worth a shot
