  • Well I will try then. It was just very disconcerting to be losing 10 lbs a month for 4 months and then suddenly... "Oh look I'm 185!" Next week "Damnit I'm 187!" Next week "Omg I'm 180!" And most recently "Crap I'm 180.4!" (I weigh myself every Sunday)
  • Oh ok! Maybe I will jus put lightly active (taking into account my physically demanding job) so that when I add the exercise it's not double dipping as so many have put it. I had labeled myself as "lightly active" until about a month ago when I realized I'd hit a plateau and in my attempt to figure out the why, I realized…
  • The provolone and turkey hasn't been weighed out, I'm afraid as it's my "cheat day" treat from a local cafe... I suppose I could dissect it when I get home and weigh out every item in it.... . A normal day for me is 130 cal for oatmeal 4 days a week. But on my days off of work, I do skip meals. Not intentionally, I'm just…
  • I weigh most things but I do eyeball some things as well. I suppose I should be using the recipe making thing more but it can be time consuming so when I'm running behind on my logging I'll add premade stuff (only if it has a green check mark though) I do have one more (stupid, I'm sure) question... It seems…
  • I have exactly 50 lbs to lose! Already down 50! I have some health problems that make certain parts hard (i.e. someday exercise is just killer on my poor body) but I'm determined and motivated. I know you'll reach your goal, too! Feel free to add me. :3
  • Thank you for all the information! I will try this coming week to not add my exercise into my daily log and see what happens. I do know that on certain days when I go over I workout and am back in the green, but I suppose if my physical activity is already factored in then I'm still going over (whoops!) Thank you!
  • Oh also I just reread one of the comments. I eat 1,550 on a bad day, on a good strict day I try not to go over 1,200
  • I use MFP workout tracker and it automatically puts in the workout when I'm done, so I thought it only counted my BMR :(
  • I use a food scale (I think?) to measure out most meals. I don't have cheat days too often, the closest I get I having coffee and a sandwich at the local cafe once or twice a week but I still stay within the 1,550. I'd be happy to open my log up for opinions. It's been private because I'm embarrassed of the days when I…
  • I should explain I mentioned the no kids thing because when I got pregnant I was 190 and the depression of the miscarriage caused everything to shoot up to 230 lbs.
