UGH! why?!

What are you using to weigh what ur eating?

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.

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.

How much water are you drinking?

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.

Lol. The one question the OP decides to respond to is the most irrelevant one posted.

I was thinking the same thing lol

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!).

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.
