More than "frustrated". I'm p*#@** off now!

As your so close to goal I would suspect you should be eating more....have a look at this thread http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/819055-setting-your-calorie-and-macro-targets

According to your information, your BMR alone is around 1400 calories, so I'd advise you up your intake to at least that, preferably more. Otherwise, you could look at calculating your TDEE. This will factor in your workouts, giving you a higher daily calorie goal, but means you don't eat back your exercise calories. This is great if you work out on a regular schedule. The website below will give you your TDEE, then all you need to do is subtract 10%-20% (1/2lb -1lb loss weekly)

I'm following MFP's guidelines. I entered all my info and that's what it gave me.

MFP guidelines also advise to eat your exercise calories which from what I saw at least on some days you didnt...you also seem to be missing some days of tracking and have one part day of tracking (i only looked back a week or so). You really need to track every day to see where things are at long term. The link I provided is a much easier way (IMO) it will give u a daily static goal to eat towards each day...it will be pretty close to what MFP gives you with eating your exercise calories (as that is how MFP is designed)

If it helps any my sister matches your stats almost exactly. She was eating @ 1200 under a doctors advice (after losing 30 pounds in a year on WW) and was stalled for 5 months @ 168. I convinced her to try and eat more and she has been losing a steady 1/2 pound a week for a couple of months now. She is eating 1500 and about half her exercise calories.

Good luck finding something that works for you.

i read a few days in your diary - two things
1. you don't log everything/every day. so you may be over/underestimating. on the days you did log you were VERY close to/a little over your max cal goal. which means that if you miscalculated by a bit (either miscalculated on the food or on the exercise burn) then you were over - this could be a factor. are you weighing your foods? how are you calculating the exercise burn?

2. this is a thought - something that helped with me and other friends who are, ahem, 'women of certain ages' - and that is to reduce your carbs, and at least have 1-2 meals without added carbs (as in no bread/crackers/cookies but you can have veg/hummus etc). now before all the "a calorie is a calorie" and "carbs aren't evil" guys jump in - i agree that a calorie is a calorie and i agree that carbs aren't evil. I am saying that this strategy works for me and for others. and i am not saying to cut out carbs completely - just cut down and don't have them at all meals. (there are some veg that are starchy like potatoes, carrots that should be considered as carbs in this regard).

I suspect inaccurate logging. You've got a couple of days where you (hopefully) didn't log everything and a couple of days with no logging at all just in the past week.

Are you using a food scale?

This this this ^^^

I found that i had to be very careful measuring whenever I was in a period of no loss. This video really helped drive that fact home for me.

I have similar background. I have been losing the same 5 pounds over and over for a year now. First 50 was easy but then seems like nothing worked. Reality is I tend to have a day with overeating more than I should, gain back what I worked to lose. Logging everything and not taking the lowest numbers I can find in database has now helped. I set my goal to 2 lbs a week so that MFP only gives me the 1200 cals per day. I walk off about 500 cals a day and do not eat it all back. I am netting a little less than 1000 a day now and the weight is finally moving down again. For me NO cheat days has to be my life. I want to get rid of another 10 lbs to reach my real goal. I also have had to give up the sugar. If I eat larger doses of sugar it just goes to fat for me. Stores really easy. One dounut or candy bar even though I stay under my numbers seems to just stay with me. Less carbs more protein are seeming to work for me. I am older too and take my pills for my thyroid. If you need a friend let me know. Good luck, it's tough.

Hi write what you have eaten on a note book and add it on the computer when he is not around,my hubby is the same but I just say we all have our interest and this is mine at the moment, I Shan't be long and tend not to do anything more than log my food, I catch up on the go's when he is not around .

Keep going don't give up I have had the thyroid problem since 2005 so know where you are coming from with that, a little loss is better than none, you might be loosing inches.

Good luck

I completely agree. cutting back on carbs seems to work for me as well. I am not a carb hater either, but if it works.. it works.

Fantastic link. It should be stickied somewhere, honestly.

I'm going to pick up a scale Friday when I'm shopping! thanks

Great idea.

I predict this will be life-changing...

...(assuming you use it, of course).

I have several female friends who looked good but were at their last 5-10 lbs. They went to a hormone doctor and got their hormones back in check and the weight came off.
