    Also, there's nothing wrong with aspartame. Its one of, if not the most, tested food product out there.

    I wouldn't go so far as to call it a "food". It's a manufactured chemical.

    I have found that (for me) the quality of food is far more important to health and weight loss than the quantity. Filling my plate up with quality meat, veggies & fats has resulted in me eating more calories, but losing weight & body fat and feeling better overall.

    My sympathies...nothing worse than trying really hard & hittung a wall. I recently read Bob Harper's The Skinny Rules....from Biggest Loser. Entirely diet oriented. I thought the rules were good . He had 3 rules (there are a total of 20) that for me are critical to learn. 1) Maintain accurate portion control 2) DO NOT EAT CARBS AFTER LUNCH...no grains, starches, desserts, etc. Veggies are ok...small amt of fruit ok. Nothing After dinner.3) Go to bed hungry. Nothing after you dinner meal!!!! He says it really increases the fat burning when you fast. Tough rules. ANYWAY GOOD LUCK. I admire your exercise efforts.

    Looking through your diary, there are some entries like "birthday cake one slice" (I know it's hard to estimate stuff like that, and I just try to find random equivalents too) or "strawberries half a cup." Measuring with cups can be incredibly inaccurate, and you might be consuming way more than you think you are. Fruit might not be so bad, but with rice or other carb or fat based things, it can add up quickly.

    Give this entire thread a read including the comments. Make sure you watch the video on inaccuracies of measuring cups. I've taken to weighing most everything.

    ^This. I was wildly off until I bought a food scale. You'd be astonished at how much you can underestimate calories taken in. I know it's frustrating, but you need to choose a program and be consistent for at least 2 months. It took longer for my body to respond my second try at losing weight than it did the first time. Don't give up and make sure you're eating enough to support your activity level.

    I haven't read all the links that people posted...but have you looked into Metabolic Syndrome? (Insuline Resistance). I had a similar thing happen to me, except it was more frustrating. I have logs of having worked out and eaten well that span over 4 months with no weight loss. My blood cholesterol did improve, but that is the only "number' that improved. Previously, I had been able to diet/exercise and actually lose weight. I just joined this site actually so that I could respond to your post. I don't know if things have gotten better for you yet or not but if not, consider that there is a medical problem. Which if there is, you are on the right track with low sugar, and balancing any carbohydrate intake you do have with protein. Anyway...best of luck to you.
