You're looking in all the wrong places. The question isn't a 2 week stall. It's how you've only lost 15 pounds in 7 months at 1100 calories. The only answer is that you're eating way more than 1100 calories. And don't shock your system. I tried using a hair dryer in the bathtub and it didn't help my weight loss at all.…

Even though I log the extra calories I earn with my walking, I never use them. I always eat as close to 1100 calories a day.

What's TOM? I started using THRIVE and I eat Protein bars every day. I'm wondering if I need to increase my water intake. I've been drinking 70 ozs daily but I've been hearing I should be drinking over 100 ozs a day. Anyone?

I've been going at it for over 7 months now and have lost 50 pounds. But in the past month, I've only lost 3.2 pounds. Should I increase my protein and lower my carbs? Or increase my steps from 10k to 15k? I still eat 1100 calories (50% carbs, 20% protein, and 30% fat). I still weigh everything I eat, and drink at least 70…

Here's me today.

This was me at my 40th birthday in 2012. I started dieting the same day I quit smoking, Feb 3, 2015. I'm amazed at how different I look.

Now I see the grams on the peanut butter. I will go buy a digital scale tomorrow and start tracking more accurately. I certainly appreciate all the great comments and help! Thank you!

I need to buy a new scale. My sucks.

Oops. Missed a few questions. My plateau has lasted 2 weeks. My doctor recommended 1200 calories a day and I opted for 1100 calories since most people eat 10% more calories than they think they do. I read that somewhere. And I would like to lose 2 pounds a week instead of just 1.

Like peanut butter reads 1 serving is 2 tablespoons. So I measure 2 FLAT tablespoons, then lick the spoon clean. (I know... gross) Now I'm beginning to wonder if I've been eating 1.5 servings instead of 1.

Like what? Jumping rope?

What do I do if the label reads "1 serving is 1 Tablespoon"?

I just watched the video and my bubble just BURST! I need to rethink a lot of things now...

I started on 1100 calories a day because I want to lose 25 pounds as fast as I can due to upcoming surgery. Losing the weight puts my BMI at overweight as opposed to obese. Can't have the surgery if I'm technically 'obese'. I also quit smoking on Feb 3. Most people gain weight when they quit smoking but I have been…

I was reading one of the links you sent and it talks about peanut butter. I have eaten peanut butter and used a tablespoon instead of weighing it. That may be one of my problem areas... I don't know why I crave peanut butter when I diet but I crave it BAD!!

For example, my tuna fish. I use 4 cans and they have 50 calories per serving and 5 servings per can. Then I use 1 1/2 cups (24 tablespoons) of Hellmann's Low Fat Mayo which has 15 calories per tablespoon. Then I add a bunch of dill relish which has zero calories. Adding all that together equals 1360 calories. THEN... I…

I also don't cook. I prefer to eat food that I can record exact calories for. I use the barcode scanner every chance I get. I'm very OCD about my entire Weight Loss experiment!

I just made my diary public. I also drink 60oz of water a day but I don't log them. I do weigh my food. I only eat 1100 calories because most people eat 10% more calories than they think they do. Which is why mine goal is 1100 and not 1200, as my doctor recommended. Keep the comments coming!!!
