This shows what mssag is saying about "a tablespoon" not always being a tablespoon

Seriously, i'll ask again: are your measurements changing?

In the face of 'properly' calculated calories and what looks like an awesome workout routine, it's worth considering that your scale isn't telling you *everything* about how your body's responding.

Thanks for the suggestions. But now I wonder if my fat and protein are too low. Like this morning I did three miles with Leslie Sansone, three miles in thirty minutes. My work out includes six days weekly. Six days of cadio and three of free weight.
My blood work is always excellent.

So you are running? I think it would be hard to walk 3 miles in 30 min

Thanks for the imput. I measure my peanut butter by tablespoon, that is a level not heaping. Peanuts by an accurate, like today it was one ounce. Brown sugar is one level teaspoon.

I even measured my chili that I had for dinner last night. If it's any pasta, which is rare that is also measured accurately.

So that's it. I really beginning to think that I have been way to low on my saturated fats and protein, especially since I excerise so much. Just a thought though.

Any further suggestions would really be appreciated. I would like to lose about 10-15 more lbs.

My husband know that I very religious about this, it's a rarity for me to go off my program. It may seem strange but it's true.

Thanks so much

Measuring peanut butter and sugar by volume is not correct. Please start measuring peanut butter, sugar, peanuts, etc., by weight. Measure absolutely everything you can by weight. Pure liquids, such as milk or juice, are the only things that should be measured by volume. Pasta, bananas, chicken, etc all need to be measured by weight.

My suggestion is to switch to measuring everything by weight. You appear to be running a rather small calorie deficit and I think the errors made by measuring things like peanut butter and sugar by volume are more than enough to all but erase this small deficit.

Your protein might be very slightly low. Don't worry about saturated fats. Neither will affect your weight loss; weight loss is calories in minus calories out, period.

How are you calculating your calorie burns?

HRM?

MFP database?

I think you're brave for just letting everyone give you ideas on your eating habits...
