Provide your stats (height/weight/age/bodyfat% if you know it/etc)
Height 5'2.5
weight 134.4
Age 43
What's your current gross intake of calories, on average?
Last 8 days~ 1575 calories
What's your current average intake of protein, carbs, and fats, in grams? (GRAMS, not percent!)
Last 8 days~ Protein 56g, carbs 181g, fat 65g
Do you use a food scale and measure everything? Most things
Do you track all of your intake, daily? (Everything?) Yes
Do you take cheat days or days off? Not intentionally
How much weight have you lost so far and over what time period? None!!!!! just up and down, up and down.
Describe your activity (exercise and non exercise) and did you change that activity withing the last couple of months?
I did add more activity lately. I walk my dogs every morning for about 20-30 minutes, go to the gym 4 times per week with cardio (elliptical, or elliptical plus bike) and sporadic weights and push ups. I have very bad knees (Reconstructions on both ACLs and arthritis).
How long have you been stalled and if it is not a complete stall please be very specific as to how much you have lost over the stalled period.
Stalled forever! Just kidding. I have been trying for >2 months now and I just go up and down. I calculated my TDEE around 2000ish and with deficit around 1600ish. That can't be right for me as I don't seem to be able to eat that much without gaining. And I would like to lose 10 lbs to be around 124.
Are you breastfeeding? No
Do you have thyroid issues/risks or PCOS? PCOS

I see that you are a Trader Joe loving vegetarian like me (or I assume you are a vegetarian from the couple of days I looked at in your diary).
Where did you get your TDEE from?
When did you start increasing your exercise?0 -
I calculated my TDEE from Scooby workshop using 3-5 hours moderate exercise per week.
I increased my exercise a couple of months ago. I have always been active, but I fell into a period where I didn't do much.0 -
And I am a Trader Joe loving vegetarian! :-)0

I have my goals at 1400 calories, 20% carbs, 40% fats, 40% protein. That is 70 carbs, 62 fats, 140 proteins. I struggle to meet these macros, but I try. I have been constant for 3-4 weeks now, but I know its because I indulge in too many little cheats, like when my calories are under goal at the end of the day I eat a small piece of dark chocolate. Also, instead of sticking to one "cheat day" or "free day" a week, which my plan allows for, I probably take more than 1. I believe this has messed up the process so that the good work that I do on some days is sabotaged. So I am trying to get back to sticking more tightly to the plan. I have lost 18 lbs since Jan. by mostly the body for life plan, but also I have done a little bit of intermittent fasting. I'm not sure why you have lost, unless possibly the measurements of your food are off , or you are missing logging some of yours. I do lift weights 3 day/week and cardio the other days, and I believe this is a huge determinant of my success. Also am getting plugged in to HIIT. Long sessions of cardio just burn muscle so I avoid that. good luck to you!0 -
When you note that you weigh 'most things', what type of things do you not weigh?0
-
The things that I do not weigh are bananas, apples, (I eyeball these after weighing one every now and then), bread slices, green beans, lettuce greens. I weigh everything else except for restaurant food.0
