Yeah, going through and writing it all out put it into perspective for me. I thought I was sticking to 1200 more often then I actually have been and even increased to 1650 these past few days. I'll just keep at it and leave it at 1200. Thanks!

I just looked through every day and it has been over more often then I thought I was. I guess I just needed to step back and take a good look at it. I had increased to 1600 these past few days thinking that I needed to increase but I should stay where I am and do better at staying at 1200.

There have been a few cheat days over the month that were the 1000+ days. I use a heart rate monitor and log my calories based on what that tells me I've burned. I started out eating all the calories that I burned since mfp included it as if I was supposed to eat it. After researching it I decided against eating those…

I usually just use dried seasonings to flavor the chicken with. I will start weighing the other items, I was just scanning the barcode of the packaging and trusting those measurements but I guess it would be best to weigh everything.

I just opened my diary. The clothes aren't fitting any better but I'm going to take measurements tonight and just go from there. I am going to meet with a nutritionist and see if they can shed some light on it, especially since I have an exact record of calories consumed and exercises. I know the first week I thought that…

I've been extremely diligent and obsessive about logging since this is so incredibly important to me. I will not eat or drink anything that I cannot log. I am going to meet with a nutritionist to see what I can find out from their perspective. I should probably be measuring myself but I haven't done that yet.

It's a high protein diet so chicken breasts, hard boiled eggs, quinoa, edamme, chickpeas, and almonds all make up a lot of my meals and snacks.

I'm weighing everything with a digital scale and measuring everything else to the point of being obsessive about it.

I'm weighing and measuring every single item to the point of being obsessive about it. I have to figure out how to open my diary.

I quit nursing at the beginning of March so that shouldn't be a factor anymore.

The first week was a struggle, keeping between 1200-1600 but by that Friday I had it down to a science. Its a high protein diet so its kept the hunger away but if that isn't the right amount of calories I'm wondering why MFP would tell me that's the amount I need to be consuming. It has way more info then these other…

I had my thyroid tested before and during my pregnancy and it came back normal. I will set up another doctor appointment.
