Patience. Perseverance.

I agree about not over complicating things, but when you are on 1200 calories a day, an additional 75 calories a day can add up fast. Plus, logging reminds me to take my calcium supplement.
-
Good job logging! Accurate data is so important and being honest with yourself is too. Tomorrow is a brand new day. Don't worry so much about today. Just work on eating your calorie goal.

Absolutely do not restrict at those levels. Please seek the help of a professional, a therapist, a doctor. <3

For how long? After you start a new workout, there will be water weight in your muscles. Just give it time.

I track both. Calories for my weight loss goal. Macros, fiber, calcium, vitamins for my nutritional goal.
-
Look at your calories weekly. Some days you'll go over, sometimes under...it all averages out.

I am 5'2" and find this calculator is very accurate. http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html

Today I had egg salad in a pita. So good! Tomorrow, I've already prepared angel hair pasta with sauce and two turkey meatballs.

Anything that fits your calorie goals. More ideas: Protein/fiber bar Peanut butter toast Cheese on toast Peanut butter/jelly sandwich My personal favorite is Nature's Path Flax Plus Raisin Bran -- low sugar, high fiber with protein that keeps me full

Truly awesome!!!

No. No. So much no. If you are not losing weight, you are eating too many calories. If you eat too many calories, you gain weight. #science

Since you are gaining, you are not eating at a deficit. Tighten up your logging -- weigh everything and double check the accuracy of the database listings you are using. Also, reevaluate your exercise burns -- and don't eat all your exercise calories back. The issue is somewhere in the math.

Get a kids hamburger and fries for 440 calories. It's a great taste without going overboard on calories.

To lose weight, you need to eat at a calorie deficit. Enter your stats on MFP and set it to sedentary and losing 1 pound a week. Exercise is helpful but it is mostly for health. Since you walked more with the vehicle, try walking around your neighborhood and extend your walks only as you feel able. I'm sure the walks will…

Not going to happen. But you an lose some over the summer.

It's OK to eat high calorie foods. A hamburger, pizza, sausage biscuit, fried chicken...if it fits in your calories for the day, then go for it!

My evening snack is prelogged at breakfast. Sometimes fatigue means you need water. Sometimes it means you need.to.go.to bed. I am sorry. I'm just too much of a *kitten* for this scenario to ever fly -- I'd be calling him out for passive-aggressive sabatoge thankyouverymuch.

Live it and log it is my motto. Feel free to add me.

It's almost always how they are cooked. Experiment with different recipes. I always disliked Brussels sprouts...until I had them roasted with sausage. Now they are a favorite! Some veggies you'll find that you don't like alone but you do like them incorporated into a dish. As for salads, experiment with differet greens and…

Add me as a friend if you'd like to see my diary. I'm going to be on a 1200 calorie restriction for the next 9 to 12 months.

Your injury has delayed your weight-loss plans. Now is the time to eat at maintenance and focus on getting your protein macros in so you will heal as fast as possible and get back to losing. Take care of your body.
-
Can you give us examples of the foods you like? Why not incorporate those foods into your diet? The best way to lose weight and keep it off is to make a sustainable change in your eating habits.

I swear by MSM by Blue Mountain Herbs (best price). MSM is supposed to help skin, cartilage, nails, and connective tissues. I swear by it actually. You can even see the difference it made in my discs in my back on xrays. Try it and see if it helps you.

You can often find deals at farmer's markets and little international markets. Dried peas, lentils, and legumes are very budget friendly and packed with fiber, protein, and nutrients. Frozen vegetables and fruits. Eggs are very cheap protein. Buy meat on sale and batch cook, freezing what you can't use right away. And…

Totally depends on the person. For me, I usually eat: Nature's Path Flax Plus Raisin Bran with soy milk Nature's Path Heritage Flakes with soy milk English Muffin with margarine and blueberry preserves Fiber One Oats & Chocolate Bar Fiber One Oats & Peanut Butter Bar Scrambled eggs with onions, red peppers, wilted spinach…

Bottom line: if you're gaining weight, you are not eating a deficit. Check out this calculator to get the math you need: http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html
-
You are eating too much. (Not in a deficit.) Change your daily calorie goal to 1200 instead of 2500 and then log all your exercise but only eat half of the exercise calories back until you see results, then you can reevaluate how many exercise calories you can actually eat back.
