    I'm not logigng EVERYTHING. :( I know I should be, I just don't find the time in the day to write down everything I eat and such.

    ^ there is your problem...start logging everything..do you have a smartphone? Get the MFP App and log as you eat...or you can pre-log the night before..that is what I do ...

    ^^ DITTO what he said....

    Even if you can't log in everyday. Try and write what you are eating down in a notebook, then when you have time you can log it in later. This way it's a lot easier to keep track of what you are eating. x

    And with the App, even if you don't have time to put every individual thing in, you can but a quick calories entry for a good guess (I always round up) and then you've at least got an idea of how much you have left.

    When you loose weight, your body starts to store water and build muscle, its unlikely you will see this gain again, but if you do, it just means your body is turning some of the fat into muscle. Try not to worry - try measuring your hips and waist etc and go by inches on weeks where youve noticed a gain.

    Best of luck xxx

    You're gaining bc you're not logging. You're overeating. There's time to log. I have two kids, work, volunteer and am very busy. I find the time. That's an excuse.

    Pre plan your meals and prepare them before going to work, etc.. What I do is that I plan my meals for the next day before hand with the amount of calories I want / need to have for the day, and then I follow the exact measurements for my meals. It makes everything easier and it's like following a recipe...

    That also gives me the flexibility to give or take some calories in favor of goodies like frappuchinos haha.

    But you have to be disciplined about the logging and the counting of calories.

    People here are discipline with their logging and calories intake and that's the reason why they've been succesful (mention that it doesn't matter the method or diet they follow, the details are the same).

    Good luck.
