    Just wondering, do you weigh/measure all your food & drinks?

    Try to be more diligent with your calorie intake. I literally weigh everything I eat just about. Also, let your body adjust to it's new weight! Don't stop doing what you're doing! Your body will adjust accordingly! Never give up :)

    Without seeing your diary can't give better suggestions but, check your logging for accuracy. Food scale will help with this, you can get one for under $20. Make sure you are logging everything, careful of generic and homemade entries. Have lots of patience and the flow chart above is really good.

    Measuring by cups and spoons is better than not measuring at all but it can still be pretty inaccurate. The size of the pieces of food and how much air is in there will change the calorie count. If you're doing this with vegetables it's not a big deal but with calorie dense foods the difference can be pretty significant.
