    I just want to encourage the digital scale. The only thing I use a measuring cup for is Milk. I was amazed at how many foods I was under counting. Especially on fruits, it makes a huge difference in calories and carbs, which is important to know if you are using your diet to prevent diabetes.

    I actually do have a very nice food scale I will dig it out. Although, like I said I do measure half cup quarter cup, whatever. As far as the weight watcher mindset? No, I know that it's just for their programI have been actually surprised at the amount of sugars and even some cards that are in fruit. I think maybe I'm not eating enough? I know myself and I feel tired, a lot. I'm not normally feeling so dragged out. I do take vitamins every day. I will give it some time and do what I need to do. I'm not giving up! Thanks for all your input MFP people :-)

    That is not the cause of a failure to lose. (although your calorie target may be a bit low for your circumstances.) I suspect ,as has been suggested already, that you are eating TOO MUCH! Weigh everything and give it some time.

    If you are feeling tired and sluggish, it might be worth reducing your goal weight loss per week so that you can have a more manageable calorie goal. Like PPs have said, it is also really important to get your tracking as accurate as possible.

    I'm new here and still learning. Sorry for any confusion I've caused about muscle gain.
