    I just want to know where OP buys her magical plates that make it impossible to overeat.

    The same manufacturer that makes Costco/Sam's free sample trays, of which the contents are unloggable.

    21-Day Fix? To go along with the Shakeology that she might try?

    I just laughed so hard and I'm seeing me running up to the kiosk. Taking the plate, raising it to my face, and dumping it in. Make it rain!

    Sorry, I'm hyper

    Look ---- If you lost weight before using the same methods that you are using now ---- then it surely not a measuring (scales vs. cup) problem. I would suggest that you talk to your Doctor about your problems. If everthing checks out ok, then try to adjust you carlorie intake to lower level using the same measuring methods that you are conformable with. Good luck !!!!

    Oh good grief. So many people without helpful advice.

    I did take the advice into consideration. I also made a doctor's appointment for more blood work and go from there.

    I don't cheat on weekends. lol. My husband can attest to that as I won't eat out often and I cook every day from ingredients, not processed foods.

    I am trying to figure out why it's not working...not have a bunch of people tell me I'm an idiot for not doing exactly what they do, or not taking their advice as golden.

    I'm just frustrated. Going to tweak some things and keep measuring and weighing foods. If I wanted sunshine blown up my *kitten* i'd just have talked to my friends.

    Thank you to those who have PM'd me with constructive criticism and help :) I will try your suggestions.

    Who called you an idiot? I saw nothing but constructive advice, and then hilarity ensued when you started pouting. The only thing you were receptive to was the Shakeology nonsense. Was that what you wanted to hear?

    I also lowered my calorie intake for now.

    Ever since the removal of my tumor about 2 years ago, losing weight has been such a chore! I would think getting rid of a 7 pound tumor would help things, but perhaps also losing an ovary has thrown things off even more. Hormonal issues? Doctor said they were fine a year ago but maybe things shifted. I'll find out.

    I am not pouting lol! But it's as if none of you have experienced any frustration with weight loss and you have all the answers. My doctor a year ago said to eat 1600 calories a day so I did....to lose weight, she said. I gained a ton! I have read the advice here and am taking it all into consideration. But I already do the things people are saying I should do.

    You were asked to open your diary so people could take time out of their day to try and help you.
    Advice was given based on not being able to see your diary
    You got offended.

    So yes it can be frustrating but if you take a step back and look that maybe you aren't doing it perfectly and actually listen it might help you. But that would take you putting your feelings aside and actually listening not for what you want to hear, but for what you don't.

    Nevermind. lol. Everyone is an expert around here. I'll figure it out.
    This is hilarious I've just looked at the replies people gave you. So you ask for help and advice but because people have the audacity to suggest in a Polite manner that what you may be doing is wrong and inaccurate you throw all your toys out of your pram.

    What was the point in asking for advice if you weren't even going to consider the fact of what you're doing is wrong? If what you are doing is so right why did you need to ask for help? why have you not lost weight?.

    I'm sick to death of posts like this people asking for help then experienced posters with a good track record spending their valuable time giving you advice from there experience and all you want to do is chuck it back at them. It's just pathetic. If you want help fine ask but if all your going to do is throw a childish paddy when people challenge what you're well don't bother stop wasting everybody's time and just find people that will massage your ego. I'll probably get a strike for this but oh well

    So you just wanted to reply to be rude?

    I'm just frustrated.

But I already do the things people are saying I should do.

    The people who gave you suggestions have likely experienced the same frustrations you are experiencing now. The suggestions they give you are what works. When your weightloss efforts aren't working, something needs to change. A very common mistake is innacurately counting calories, so you should check that. If you are 100% positive that you are completely accurate on your calorie logging, then look at the other suggestions, such as making sure you calorie goal is correct for weight loss.

    Something just doesn't add up. Your body cannot make magical energy, so if it needs more energy than you are giving it, you will lose weight. That leaves 3 possibilities. You are eating more than you think, your daily calorie goal is wrong, or your body has a medical condition that causes it to use unusually low amounts of energy.
