Good advice so far! Although some differing opinions, I appreciate all the advice! I should add that I wear a fitbit surge (with heart rate monitor). I like the idea of eating back 50-75%. That sounds fair and safe! I also like the idea of rating to maintain for a while and then trying again! Good tips!! TY!! :)

I have leveled off for about 2 months now with a weight fluctuation of only about 1-2 lbs up or down. MFP has given me a calorie goal of 1200 and I am darn good at sticking to it... but with no changes. (Yes, I measure, weigh and document everything!) 1200 is hard but with no changes (and I've increased exercise) I was…

Thank you all for your very positive comments! I'm glad I'm not alone and appreciate that I should learn not to worry about the temporary gain! I especially like the comment about weight loss bot being "lineal"! I needed to hear that! (SO true!!!) :)

It sounds great! I have both the original Insanity and P90x. I prefered Insanity, so I was very excited to hear of thr new versions!!! Thank you for your input sheltol!

I mean the "laughing my *kitten* off" part! ;) You guys are cute! Great answers! (But I honestly love wings that much!). :)

LMAO!!! (If only it were that easy!). ;)

I do have to agree that my deficit seems big enough to me that I should still be losing weight.... Rather than maintaining. Even if my measurements are leas accurate than weighing... Back to why I'm frustrated! I feel my calories burned are quite accurate as I live a very busy and active lifestyle. BUT... I will follow the…

ood labels, but I have ordered the scale to see if that's where I'm going wrong! I will jeep you all posted and let you know if weighing vs. measuring helps!

You guys are wonderful! Thank you for all the great advice! I was very trusting of f

Lol.. And yes... I eat my sandwiches with no spread!

Lol! No, i didn't weigh those, but yes, I did measure them with measuring cups! If I measure the popcorn (for example) in cups, do I need to weigh it too? Not sure I understand why.... Would I use the weight over the measurement? I do have all my fitbit settings adjusted like it says above! I was told to trust fitbit ad it…

My daily goal is 1420 calories. According to my fitbit I burn a daily average of 2400 calories.

I love it Wizzy! Thank you! I will order one right away! Very cool!

I don't eat back all of my exercise calories, and I don't own a scale (but will get one!). I do however measure and count all food and exercise as accurately as possible without a scale! (A little obsessive that way).

I think this may be part of the problem!!!

Awesome advice! Yes.. Being a girl can stink "that" way! I will keep those factors in mind!!! I measure and include all condiments and cheat days! I even measure wine!!! ;) Inly thin I don't use is a scale. I will go get one!!! Will be opening my diary! Thanks so much!

About 6 weeks now! Lost 5 lbs in the first 3 weeks and nothing since!

I definitely feel stronger, and my clothes are fitting looser, but my body fat % (measured in my fitbit scale) also hasn't moved.. At all!!! :(

I wear a fitbit and use the fitbit scale. I truly believe I do have a daily calorie deficit.... As I count very carefully and why I'm so frusterated. Starting to wondering there could be something medical? That being said, recent blood work said my thyroid is fine!

Hi Demora! I will open my diary! I would love your advice!!!
