bout to throw in the towel.. this is crazy!

Do you ever go back over your weeks dairy? You were over your goal most of the time. And the sodium was so high, you've got to be retaining water like a well. I mean I saw chocolate and caramel apple stuff. Ranch dip. White bread. PEANUT BUTTER. "Real bacon. 2% milk. You need to find a different replacement for that turkey sausage, there is so much STUFF in that it's gross. Try Almond milk. There was hardly any fruit. And I rarely saw a veggie. I did see your thing about your man not liking them, but what does that have to do with you eating them? And why are you just eating 1/2 a cup of veg? I mean you can eat veg like a mad woman because of how good it is for you. You really need to get below that 1600 something and get lower. Your body is getting used to being at that and it's basically maintaining it's self at that. Switch it up. Get lower. So what if you get grouchy? Get your body used to it and you'll feel better. All I read throughout your post was you posting back most excuses to those people. You running, you veg issue. There were a lot more processed foods on there then you really think. Go over it and go look at what's really in those things. If there's more then 3 ingredients in it that you can't say, lose it.

Ok, I think your calories are fine and exercise is fine but maybe only take two rest days (although I don't really know how you get a "rest" day with a 2 yr old). Some things I see in your diary. I see veggies every day I looked and I'm not good at eating them either so I can't say anything there. But you should weigh everything, do not depend on measuring cups and spoons, they are really way off. I found I was actually eating less peanut butter (bummer) and a lot more other stuff by using measuring cups, for example, 1 cup of cooked pasta or "2 oz." was actually 3 oz. when I put it on my food scale. That adds up over the course of a day or week. You use a lot of buttery spreads, watch those for the word hydrogenated and actually weigh out the servings. I don't know anything about whipped peanut butter and what additional processing that goes through but you eat that a lot, read the label carefully and compare it to regular peanut butter. Also, you can substitute other nut butters. I'm also a bit concerned about where you are getting your fats from, maybe try more nuts, fish and other healthy fats instead of the buttery spreads, etc. Your protein is inconsistent from day to day, you may want to supplement with a whey protein, especially on workout days to get close to your target. It's not that expensive when you compare it to the premade shakes. Finally, where is all your water? You need to record your water intake. I aim for a gallon a day of non-sugar drinks, usually it's all water but I will make teas now that it's getting cooler outside. So I don't count anything I put sweeteners in and I use Truvia or diet soda, etc. I don't have anything against any of those drinks I just usually don't drink them.

Some ideas for foods, make up your own version of overnight oats, lots of nuts (not peanuts) like almonds or pistacchios, lots of berries, greek yogurt, apples, hard boiled eggs, 2% dairy, use chedder cheese instead of American cheese, only eat 1/2 of the dark chocolate bar or get the Dove dark chocolate squares and eat 2 or 3 (dark chocolate is actually full of antioxidants), use buttery sprays instead of spreads, whole grain breads instead of white, make your own turkey patties for breakfast. Yes, you may have to buy and make food different than what your husband eats but it's a small sacrifice for your health.

As for exercise, I haven't seen the scale move in a month but I'm still losing inches so I'm not worried about it, I'm a little frustrated but I've got a lot of crap going on in life right now and I'm not getting enough sleep and haven't been eating right so I'm not surprised at the scale. And I'm bad, I don't take rest days, don't follow that example.

You can go into your goals on MFP and hit custom to set your own calories and macros. For example, I have my macros at 35% protein, 35% carbs, and 30% fat, calories at 2200. You can even custom set your exercise goals to. I would trust your HRM if it has a chest strap for your burns. I have a Polar FT4 and use it for everything, when I am in doubt I take 100 calories off the actual number it says.

Another option you have is to research and understand your TDEE and BMR. This is just another way at looking at weight loss, it's not necessarily any better than MFP. And MFP is based on this theory, it is just set up differently.

Hope this helps. Good luck and don't give up. You've done great, heck, you've almost lost 100 lbs!

I really can't eat them a lot as for my hubs don't like them...

"can't"?

cmon now.

if your past injuries are dictating what routine/program you can do, you need to figure out what exercises you can do consistently and build your own schedule with those.

if you like lifting, you should go join the "girls who lift group". tons of experience and knowledge in there.

ETA: clearly, with your lost inches and slimmer aesthetic, you CAN do this and you are. dont discount the success youve already had. get back in the game!

I have a not-keen-on-veg husband as well.

I slice some cucumber and tomatoes alongside my dinner.
I snack on calorie and carrot sticks
I have a glass of tomato juice with breakfast
