    Suggest looking closely at what your eating, not so much on caloric intake. Try the following ratio 20% carbs, 50% protein, 30% fat.

    1) No sugars or starch, no bread , no potatoes, no carrots. Your carbs should only come from fresh veggies.
    2) Protein for the morning meal (I use a protein shake); Coffee or tea. Make sure your protein has no sugar and low carbohydrate content.
    3) Protein (4 oz lean meat, chicken or fish, or another shake) plus 2 cups vegetables at lunch (I ususally have a big salad with oil and vinegar)
    4) Protein snack (I usually have a protein shake)
    5) Protein (4-8 oz lean meat, chicken or fish) plus 2 cups vegetables at dinner.
    6) Min 8 cups of water every day
    7) NO eating after 2 hours to bedtime.

    You WILL lose weight. FAST

    Once you get to your goal, add a starch and a piece of fruit to the morning meal (only) and you can substitute an egg or some lean meat for the protein.

    Beth, first of all I would like to say well done for allowing your diary to be open for people to look at, it takes courage x

    As others have pointed out it is a bit ` all over the place` and some of the choices are a little not the best choices you could make?

    But you have lots of answers to your question and it is just a matter of tidying up your diary and making better choices.

    Decide if you are going to go with the MFP plan after you have entered all your data and give it time to work or go with whatever TDEE and go with that?

    You will lose weight if you are consistent with which way you decide to follow.

    Remember to walk/strength train along with it or you will be back in a few months asking how to tone up too!

    Good luck you can do it x

    I have to agree with the others on cleaner eating. Training your body to be happy with fruits, veggies, whole grains, and lean meats will help you a lot in your journey toward a healthier you. Staying under calories but making poor nutritional choices leaves your body malnourished and tired. Give 'clean eating' 1 week and see if it makes you feel better. Usually once you get a good start it's easier to stay motivated and keep the momentum.

    I also agree that adding a low impact exercise like swimming or biking (possibly elliptical trainer depending on how bad your knee is) and taking your hypothyroid meds religiously will help also.

    It sounds like you knew that losing weight was not going to be an easy task, which is good, because it isn't - for anyone. So continue to be patient. 3 lbs is a great start!

    It's only been two months. Looking through your diary things seem a little inconsistent. Why are you only eating ~600 calories on some days? Are you not logging everything?

    ETA: Why are your carbs set so low and your fats set so high??

    Increase your GOOD CARBS, decrease your FATS= BINGO!!!
