Do you have any heart rate data? If you do you can just enter your time and estimated cal burn by creating your own entry. I enter bodyweight exercises like squats/lunges as strength.

Go for a walk. Grab a coloring book (some really neat adult ones exist!). Take a bubble bath. Paint your nails. I try to do anything but sit and think about the stress.

Depends on what rate you want to lose, what goal you enter affects your suggested deficit. When you have 50+ lbs to lose you can do a 500-700/day deficit for longer in the beginning. Then as you get closer to goal, readjust the settings and get a new more appropriate deficit.

It won't stay that way forever. Like CooCoo said, it's water retention. It can build back up occasionally too, so unless you are consistently losing weight that quickly for weeks/months on end it's not worrisome.

It literally can't be the same for everyone. Several things come into play to affect your overall energy burn in a given day. Everyone uses the same math equation, but the numbers you enter into it are different. That's the only way CICO varies from person to person.

I attach toys to the stroller with ribbon or those plastic baby rings/shower curtain rings. Just make sure nothing can get caught in your tires.

Your TDEE depends on your weight. The higher the weight, the more you burn just moving around. 2400 autogenerated by MFP makes sense for a 300lb person. As you lose weight, your tdee will come down and so will your daily cal goals.

From looking at your diary, it doesnt seem you are using a food scale. Entries like "three yukon potatoes" are not caloricly accurate. Before you try medication or something as serious as surgery you need to get a food scale and count calories properly.

@macgurlnet I tend to buy Almond Breeze most often. I've never had it turn or anything, that's a bummer.

If you are looking for a way to have a yummy coffee maybe this will satisfy you? I can't give up my coffee so I played around trying to minimize it's impact on my intake totals. I brew my cup, sweeten with Stevia, add a few drops of vanilla extract and then stir in some unsweetened vanilla almond milk. Using flavored…

You'll lose weight incredibly slow because your deficit will be very slight. Your current weight needs to taken into count when figuring out an appropriate deficit.

Caffeinated tea? I sweeten my tea with liquid stevia.

I buy precooked chicken-breast strips and throw it in the frying pan with a little spray. After a bit of time I toss in an egg or two. I had this for breakfast today and had 29g protein for 225cal. Makes up pretty quick since the chicken isn't raw. You can keep diced (or prepackaged) vegetables in the freezer to add in as…

Yep, I want to keep track of fiber and vitamins. I weigh them in grams and use the USDA database entries to enter it in MFP. Some veggies can be scanned with the barcode reader, too.

A cold Stella and some jalapeño kettle chips would be nice. Vacation is calling my name!

You're being fed some false info here, (see above comment) and have a medical condition. Talk to a doctor and only a doctor.

Instead of worrying about matching your weight to your appetite level (1500s), add in some calories with healthy fats to maintain your current weight. Nuts don't take a lot to add up to quite a few calories.
