Hi...first time caller here. Just starting out with MFP after some friends have had great results utilizing it...

I started on my weightloss in 2008 when I went from 170 to 145. I kept most of that off pretty well...I've pretty much stayed right between 146-153 until now.

In March I did Advocare's 24 day challenge. I ate perfectly - avoided added sugars, white flour items etc. Had loads of fresh veggies every day along with a protein about 5 times a day. I didn't cheat once and did everything just like I was suppose to do... At the end of my 24 days, I had lost a whopping 3 lbs (from 153 to 150). I was so frustrated and went on an eating binge for a week...and didn't gain anything. I just don't get it...the Advocare people didn't get it either.

I've started back last week with my 5 small meals a day. I pretty much eat the same things every day: boiled egg/banana for breakfast, 0% Greek yogurt/raspberries for snack, can of water based tuna/boiled egg/tomatoes lunch, lean protein/veggie/maybe brown rice for dinner and then there's some fruit and almonds thrown in in various places.

That's it. I drink water constantly and have 1 cup of coffee in the morning with 1 Sweet n Low.

No matter how much or how little I eat - my weight never varies over 1-3 lbs. I started back walking/running today for the first time since the summer hoping that will help some.

I'm open to any/all advice. I really want to do this the right way...
