    I am so extremely thankful for everyone's advice. Extremely thankful!! I will look into a digital scale, and I will make sure to measure everything properly. Sorry if I started anything, just needed advice. Thank you so much again.

    I feel bad that I was part of it. Definitely not my intention. The advice from apullum was great and I hope you figure it out!

    Don't worry, folks have squabbles around here all the time. You didn't start anything :)

    Also, since you seem to like peanut butter with your oatmeal, you might try adding PB2/powdered peanut butter instead. You still get the peanut butter flavor and protein, but much fewer calories. Assuming you're getting enough fat in your diet already, then it could be a good option to cut some calories.

    I love PB2..it's a great option!

    I am going to guess that you are not eating within your calorie range consistently as you are not tracking consistently. Many days are blank or only breakfast is logged and when you do track, you are not eating enough calories - so you are probably eating too little and then eating too much. I completely get it. I started at about the same weight as you and did not track when I had a bad day. ALWAYS TRACK EVERYTHING - EVEN IF YOU HAVE A BAD DAY. It helps keep you on track and you can also take a realistic look at how you are eating when you fall off. I DO NOT have ANY trigger foods in the house or I will eat them. Purge your house of all food you cannot control yourself around. BTW, your doctor is being unrealistic. Your doctor has obviously not looked at the research. Most dieters can only keep off about 10% of their original weight long term unless they have bariatric surgery. I am at round two of weight loss and am finally below my lowest weight from 4 years ago. I still have 27 more pounds to go, where I will stay as that is realistic for me. That will bring me to 170. I was at 163 six years ago, but it was too difficult for me to maintain. The more often you lose and gain and lose, the worse your metabolism is affected. Look at what they learned from Biggest Loser. Most people regain when they try to go too low. Make your own weight loss goal. Keep working at it. Don't get discouraged.
