    Are you being honest with yourself about the portion sizes? It is very easy to over or underestimate what a 30g bowl of cornflakes with 2fld oz of milk looks like etc.:happy:

    Are you possibly overestimating calories burned? MFP is usually much higher than what the machine tells me, so I adjust my time to meet the same calories the machine had.

    Although I know what to do with my diet, I'm still struggling to keep that straight myself, so I don't feel right doling advice on that end. Don't give up!!
