  • Thanks everyone, it probably is something I'm seeing (or NOT seeing!) in myself... other people in my life have mentioned it and my clothes do definitely feel way looser. I think I better stop being so judgmental of myself. Geesh I'm never this way about other people.
  • Je peux parler un peu de francias parce que j'habite en Canada. Je voudrais etre ta amie, s'il vous plait. Je sais comment diton "bien!" et "merveilleux!" et "excellent!" et "fantastique!":)
  • I can assure you I am logging everything. If I have ketchup, I measure it and log it. If I put sugar in my tea that isn't Splenda, I measure by teaspoon and log it. I log as soon as I eat or while I am eating. That's why I was so confused and upset. I am definitely creating a deficit through eating habits alone. While I…

To lose weight I am mostly logging every single thing I put in my mouth (EVERYTHING, even if it's embarrassing) and I am eating less calories every day.

You're right that I have trouble with processing fat, so I don't eat much fat - especially saturated or animal fat. To give an example of what I would…
  • Wk - I measure everything I eat but I don't have a scale. I usually cook my own meals or use frozen foods (like frozen baked fish) with the calorie count per item on it. The only things I can't measure exactly are things like fresh fruit, which when logging it will say '1 large banana' or something so I trust their calorie…
  • I have a goal set by MFP at around 1600 calories per day in order to lose .5 pounds a week. It says my average calories eating per day is actually around 1300 per day. So this would be closer to around losing 1 pound a week... if my body wasn't broken. Oh and to add my only really low day was 1064 calories - I had a…
