Weight loss plateau!!

Would you be willing to open your diary for us to take a look?

I'll cover the basics. Usually when people aren't losing for over a month it's because they're overestimating how much they burn and underestimate how much they eat.

You're logging everything you eat? Including condiments, cooking oils, veggies, cheat days, etc? Are you using a food scale, measuring cups, or eyeballing your portion sizes? Most people can be off in their estimates by several hundred calories when they eyeball portions. Measuring cups are better, but a food scale is going to be the most accurate.

And make sure that you've calculated your calorie goals appropriately. Remember that these are just estimates. You may need to play around a little to find what works best for you.

If you're exercising and eating back your earned exercise calories, be sure that you're using accurate estimates of your burn. MFP and gym machines have a tendency to overestimate certain activities, which can cause you to eat back more calories than you need to. Even a heart rate monitor isn't 100% accurate. If you're eating those extra earned calories it might be a good idea to eat only 50-75% of those.

My usual question to this is:

"Have you really been CONSISTENT every single day? Answer honestly." If you've partied, drank, binged a day or two, skipped workouts, reduced rest, etc. then it's NOT a plateau. It's inconsistency.
