    First all congrats on your 2 pound loss. I'm no expert but looking over your diary for a week I noticed lots of pizza. Also you can get Sara Lee wheat bread that's only 90 calories for 2 slices. I didn't see any water listed and that really is a must. Try to eat more veggies and chicken is lower in calories. If you like to cook, may I suggest that you visit Skinnytaste.com There are LOTS of healthy recipes there which Gina has lowered the calories and kept the taste. I have even been able to lower them more using her recipies as a guide line.
    I hope this helps and you can feel free to add me if you like. Take care! Karen

    As much as I hate to admit... I have the same problem but I've learn to make little adjustment. This all started for me as eating more fruits and veggies... Once you start to do that you start to appreciate how much unprocessed, natural fruit and veggies you can eat.. Also the fiber in them keeps you full... It helps (even though its boring) to eats the same thing everyday with few variations.... They're going to be days you go OVER.. its happens and your allowed BUT working out and staying consistent overall makes days like this a minute flub in your plan.

    You at least have tracked.... I haven't faced the tracker in a week and a half.. Planning to get back to it tomorrow after I face the scale.

    Fruits, veggies and pretty much high fiber foods.

    I've actually been doing 20-40 minutes of Zumba a night but I'm not sure how to record it. I just do it as "dance" under cardiovascular

    Excercise is my life saver, an hour of a really hard aerobics / box fit class or something can burn from 500-800 calories, and Zumba is the same! Its madness, for the sake of one hour, it gives you back loads of calories which you might not even need and may end up under your daily allowance since you seem to be over around 200!

    Hope that helps x

    Yeah I couldnt figure it out either, but I went on http://www.zumbacalories.com/ to calculate what I burnt and then I logged my own exercise cos its not on the list, it should really be on the list!!

    Someone on my feeds does Zumba and I guess she puts it in herself.

    Under exercise, go to data base my Exercise and edit it in.

    I would look at your food data but I can't seem to find it.

    Though, I have no clue how you all do it. 1,200 cals a day? I will never last. x_X!

    My sugestion for bad food days. (I understand) Go and get a V8. If you don't like V8 go and get v8 Splash. I know it has sugar but it's much better then what you would have right?

    I wish you luck but that's the only sugestion I can give you.
