    If my period were consistent I would do that, but it comes and goes pretty much as it pleases. Every 3 weeks, or 4 weeks. Not much fun.

    your not tracking sugar or fiber...this needs to monitored carefully....sugar needs to be around 25-35gr and get enough fiber at least 30gr...
    track:

    Go to the "Printable" report on your Food Diary. I believe sugar and fiber and sodium are tracked by default on that page. Or, I've been tracking them so long I just think it's default....

    Great. . According to MFP's calculations you should be eating 1530 calories a day using these numbers. You should not try to eat less than that ever. There are many many threads here that discuss why. Start with these :

    I agree with most of the other posters: you are not eating nearly enough. You are eating the wrong types of foods; including the Gatorade, which is just loaded with sodium. Processed food is high in sodium. Stick with one-ingredient foods as much as possible. Vegetables, fruit, dairy, lean meats, whole grains, nuts.

    Don't start focusing on the scale at this point, you know you have a lot to lose and it will discourage you to dwell on every single pound. You didn't gain it overnight, and you will not lose it overnight. A one hundred pound loss is going to mean you have to change everything about your way of looking at life. It is a learning process and will take time to create this new life. There will be some weeks when you gain, some you will lose, many more you will have little to no change. Don't get too obsessed with the scale. If you create a pattern of good eating and moderate exercise you will lose the weight. The beginning - where you are right now - is actually the easiest weight to lose.

    Patience is one of the most important aspects of this process! You can do it.


    edit to add meat, thx banks :tongue:
