I have been very consistent for 5 months logging my food etc.... I eat clean most of the time but still enjoy a meal out a couple times a week (although I make good choices). I've been progressing along at about 2# per week and then a complete halt. I have increased my exercise in the last 6 weeks or so, as I was in a cast for the first 4months. Could this be causing it? Aside from my daily exercise I am pretty sedentary. BTW I am still 40# away from goal.

If you open your diary that would help people to comment.0

Would you be able to give more info? Height, weight, and open food diary?0

OK, diary opened, however keep in mind I am approaching this as a lifestyle change, so I enjoy foods off plan occasionally but always monitor my calories. I am 5'9 and currently 215.0

I went through your diary back to mid February. One thing I'd say to watch, if you can, is sodium intake. Another thing, based on your age, height and weight, I think that you could be eating a bit more. Also, how active are you?
Have you read this post yet? http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/912920-in-place-of-a-road-map-3-2013
Give that a read, I think it might help you.
Edit: I meant to ask if you're using a heart-rate monitor for exercise and a food scale when portioning meals. These things add up and make a huge difference.0 -
Other than my daily workouts I am rather sedentary. Trying to get more exercise in. I do measure my food and use a food scale.0
