I am also considered "medium frame" if that helps

I'm 5'4 1/2'' I have no idea what the medical ideal body weight is for me, but that is a weight that I was happy with

Thanks. I set the MFP to lose 2 lbs a week, so that is what I expected, and that is what happened for the first few weeks. Then nothing; maybe I should be expecting closer to 1lbs a week when I figure out what is wrong?

That makes sense! How do I figure out my initial TDEE?
-
yep. It was 4 French fries. I try to put everything I can in there. I do the quick add calories when I make a recipe at home, and yes, I still weigh everything.

I should be open now.

so you suggest I stay under 1300 a day and do not account for exercise? So to make sure I understand: if I exercise 400 calories, MFP tells me I have 1700 calories available for the day. I should stay under the 1300 to improve the weight loss?

What is TDEE?
-
I am weighing and measuring all my food. I bought a scale and use measuring cups and spoons. I am eating back part of my exercise calories, but my net stays between 1000-1300. For example, yesterday I ate 1425, and exercised 375, which netted 1051 calories for the day.

I am scanning bar codes on food or looking up food on either MFP or company nutrition websites. I am getting exercise calories from MFP.
