How long have you been gaining weight? How long ago did you start working out?0

Hi, a couple of questions..
how long have you been doing this?
Are you logging your food properly - weighing everything, including salad dressings drinks etc.
Are you logging exercise/ - if you are using standard MFP entries you may be over estimating.
All you need to do is burn more cals than you are consuming.0 -
You didn't mention your overall calorie goal for the day??? Are you using a food scale to weigh and measure your foods??0

Your profile says you have lost ten pounds. What is "pretty much nothing but"? Every time I lost ten pounds, I magically hit a plateau. Why? Because I became lackadaisical thinking, okay, that was easy, I can eat a little extra now. Then I will gain a pound or two. In the old days, I got discouraged and that got me to the point of obesity. But now when that happens, instead of getting discouraged, I get mad at myself and rev it back up.0

What are you having in those salads?0
-
How much water are you drinking?0
-
60fl oz a day or a little more sometimes if I do more physical activity than usual0

Salads can have a lot of calories. I've seen salads on restaurant menus that have more calories than the burgers. If you aren't weighing your food, even the "healthy" stuff, then you are probably eating more than you think you are.0

Isn't that always the case?0 -
You could be retaining water, or your salads have too many calories (it's very much NOT a healthy choice in most places, by the way, once you count the dressing, and even sometimes without, it's often more than a burger!).0

I was typing back but the questions all came very quickly.

I understand the frustration! Sometimes is seems like the more I try the less my scale moves. One thing I've found to be a little discouraging is that a lot of salads have way more calories than I expected (especially when you add what I consider to be "enough" dressing). But, even if you eat the perfectly to lose weight, you can still gain weight depending on the time of the month (side-effect of being a woman). If this is the issue, the weight will come off in another week.0
