No, I'm not. I'm not using weights at all, actually.

That site says my tdee is 2889. Another site said something similar and for fat loss eat 2100(ish) calories or for extreme fat loss eat 1900(ish) calories if working out 3-5x per week. I usually use www.freedieting.com calculators. I will try the 1900 and if nothing changes I'll go up or down with cals and see if there is…

Thanks everyone! I'll take all of this into consideration. I do like HIIT workouts! I am going to do them at least 2-3x per week. But, I also enjoy dancing and want to do that a couple times a week. I lost 40 lbs doing Zumba 5-6x per week for 45 minutes each time for a year. I have hit a plateau and have been stuck for…

That makes sense. I guess since putting on muscle makes the scale go up?
-
Thanks everyone. I don't usually eat my earned calories. Just what MFP says to eat BEFORE I add exercise. A friend gave me this site http://iifym.com/iifym-calculator/ I am going to use that and do "custom" goals on MFP. He has used it and went from a pretty big guy to a slim and muscular guy. I feel like I should be…

Thanks. I am going to be going to the doc in January and hopefully they can help me!

I also started measuring my foods today! I can have 1270 calories per day according to MFP. So far, so good.
-
I always put on about 5-7 lbs before I start. I always get discouraged during that time of the month but I try not to let it bother me cause I know it'll go away. Just make sure to always drink plenty of water.

I have to exercise to lose. If I don't workout...I never lose anything. I also lowered my calories on MFP. I hope this helps! Thanks for everyones help.
-
Thanks :) I didn't say that I have been weighing and measuring food. I said I am going to start today.

I also dont want to eat my earned calories.

Im not doing zumba anymore cause my body got used to it. I try to burn about 500 calories per workout (according to app on cell). I just changed my goals and they say to have 1290 calories per day if I'm burning 2000 calories per week with workouts and want to lose 2 lbs per week. I can handle that. I need to cut my…

Do you all eat your calories earned from working out?
-
Oh, gotcha. Yeah, I always go by the nutrition on the actual food I'm eating and compare it to MFP before I save it and as far as working out goes...I use "fitapp" app that counts my calories on my cell while I walk/run and key that in. I don't use what MFP says.
-
I'm not going to give up. Trust me. This has been a 4 year battle/journey. How am I over estimating my workouts? I guess I'm misunderstand this?
-
I don't do zumba, anymore. Just walk/run. I found on a website that I need 1800, acutally 1880. MFP says I need 1600. So, I will just change it to 1500? I would think I eat 1800. I try not to snack and I don't put anything in my mouth that doesnt get logged.

I don't measure, no. I used to measure everything so I kind of memorized how much of stuff I can have but I can start measuring again. I'll start that today. I weigh 235.7, I'm 5'6" and want to weight about 200 at this point. I do log everything. I only have 3 meals a day and try to drink plenty of water. I eat a lot of…
