    I'm stuck too. Eating 1200 calories a day + allotted exercise calories, and have been under my goal every day but one (200+ over that day because of a risotto recipe I wasn't familiar with) and I gained 4 pounds!

    So I am trying a new tactic. Exercising every day for at least 30 minutes (running, land paddling, video workout, something to get me sweaty) and NOT SUBTRACTING THOSE CALORIES. So no matter what, I stay under 1200. I think the exercise section way overestimates calories burned.

    Also, I am tracking every single thing that passes my lips, no matter how small or even just one bite. I think I have been really good so far, but I haven't been obsessive, and apparently that's how it needs to be.

    Something is not right here. I can't figure out how I could have gained four pounds in one week doing everything right. So time to redouble my efforts. Today I longboarded 3 miles and speed walked my dog for 25 minutes. Not so intense, but last night I ran 3 miles and I'm recovering from a foot injury...trying to ease back into it and not get injured again by overdoing it.

    I'm 5'8" and was 150 when I started. Got down to 141, now up to 145 again. Aargh! I WILL GET THAT SCALE BACK UNDER 140! My goal is 130.
