Seems far too low. that is only 100 calories above the daily recommended calorie intake for maintenance of basic function

You need that to fix a hiatal hernia? Wow. I didn't realize that could be a requirement. I've got one too and my GERD is definitely getting worse. Good thing I'm already losing weight..lol

absolutely true!!! i love me some sales! TNP is a cat person

Thanks everyone! A little more info about yours truly: 32 , living in NH, weight problems most of my life , since I was around 8 years old. A lot of it is psychological-- emotional / compulsive eating, sneaking food, etc-- which is being worked on with a therapist and lots of self help. I've been yo-yoing my whole adult…

Thanks to all of you who've friended me or replied to my post!

Thanks all. I just want to be clear here- i wasn't implying that i'm plateauing - i understand what that term means- which is why i said I can't be plateauing. I think i'm just too focused on the number and have a hard time reminding myself that there will be times i don't see a loss for a week, or two weeks, or a month.…

Thanks for your advice, but I definitely don't agree where you say there are no plateaus if you follow the rules. There are plateaus even if you follow your routine to a T. It's a normal physiological process for basically everyone.

thanks folks. just a note re: logging. while i do realize i do need to tighten it up a bit, the vast majority of the quick add stuff is stuff i have actual calorie counts for and am logging correctly- but it's not in the system yet and I'm just quick adding it in because i don't feel like taking the time to add it all in.…

didn't even realize i could "open" my diary- which i just did. not on my period, but have PCOS so the cycle is totally screwy- i could be retaining water right now, but for a whole week seems a bit wonky. I'm just feeling super frustrated after consistently seeing my weight go down, and then just stall.

I'm 31 and am right about 300# now, with a goal of 200# for now (and then we'll see)... feel free to add me... MFP has been super helpful so far!

I'm in NH too- Nashua. I've got a lot to lose as well- over 100lbs. Just started MFP about 10 days ago and am loving it so far. Feel free to add me as a friend on here!

Yeeeeeppppp. I'm 31, 5'5'' and weigh just over 300lbs. I have 100-150lbs to lose and am just starting to transform my relationship with both food and activity. I have fibromyalgia, arthritis, and several other medical issues that make activity VERY difficult. My "kick in the *kitten*" moment came when my relationship…

75lbs! WOAH!!! that's amazing. Well done! I've got about 120lbs to lose and I'm starting around 300lbs. I feel you, sister.
