    Good read Editorgrrl. Not sure about weighing everyday, but everything else made sense.

    1580 seems so low for someone over 6' tall. OP is overweight, but not hugely so. My sons are both big guys, and one is 6'2" and is around 235-240 when bulking. Maybe OP's close to his goal weight/set point, and that's why he's not losing as fast. I just can't see a grown man over 6' tall eating 1580 forever. I can eat that much on a high exercise day, and I'm a tiny middle=aged woman.

    Hey rosebette- That is what I'm saying. Like I said, I might be eating a 100 or 2 over some days but that is it. Get on the scale and either maintain or drop a pound then go up a pound the next week. It's so discouraging. The hardest part is that everybody has an opinion on what to do, but most I've tried and can't seem to get going again.

    The less you have to lose, the more slowly it comes off. That's just the way the human body works. Set your goal to .5 lb. per week for every 25 lbs. you're overweight, and be patient: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/account/change_goals_guided
