I posted this in another category but thought maybe this one would be better.
Not sure I want to do this but .. I have been on MFP for over a year and a half. IN the first 6 months I lost most of the 50 lbs lost. For the rest of the time I just yo-yo back and forth about 6 pounds. I am 62 years old, 5"4, and my husband and I do this plan together. I chose walking as it is something I can do long term. I don't want to add anything I can't do longterm. I went into this as a lifetime change not a diet and it is the first that ever worked. So right now I am at 184. I made it to 181 the other day but bounced right back up. We have a bad day now and then but not bad enough to gain back 3 lbs. I have tried more food, less food, more walking, nothing seems to let me go under the 180. So can anyone take a look and tell me and tell me what is wrong? Should I just accept that my body wants to be where it is at? Don't yell at me too bad for the bad days. I log all my food, even the quick add numbers are correct? OH I use a FitBit to track and burn about 2300 calories a day according to it.

I am just looked at your food and it looks ok , if you lower your carbs a little and raise your protein just for a week you could get over that hump?0
