@Sunshine 88: It varies from day to day, but I've really been working to lose. I've been doing either protein shakes or bars once or twice a day as meal replacements. I do need to get rid of some "junk," but I'm dumbfounded that I'm gaining instead of losing. I added extra jogging this week to help start losing again. I've been trying desperately to lose enough weight (10 pounds left) to be medically able to get "normal" health insurance. (I've pretty much been paying "rent" to BCBS for the past 9 years.) I wanted to be in a comfortable zone by the 15th of December, but I'm losing hope of that goal. Any advice would be welcome. Thanks for your time. )0

I went back five days in your food journal. You are only eating potatos, bread, surgary stuff, and whey (protein) shakes. I would strongly suggest eaing real food. Just sayin. You can't expect your body to be happy with what you are putting in it.
Try: Vegetables, lean meats, low or non fat dairy, a couple fruits and some nuts every day. Olive oil, coconut oil, yogurt.

Good read for anyone who has had this problem, having it now, or wants to avoid it happening.

I this article! I've forwarded, posted to my facebookk and MFP wall. I don't think people understand this. I didn't at one point in my journey. I eat between 1800-2000 cals a day (netting 1600) and I never looked or felt better.

Real food.
Thank you! I deserved that. LOL0 -
No need to replace real food with shakes and bars. After looking back at your diary I see a lot of processed foods. Try to limit these some more and replace with the suggestions already given. meats, tuna, other fish, and greek yogurt all have lots of protein! Your body will thank you :] Also I see you have had high sodium some days, that can mask weight loss. Do not deprive yourself though! That can be a recipe for disaster :] Make small changes.0
