I have a scale and I use measuring cups as well. I'd weigh myself during the morning, but my dog dropped a bottle of perfume on my scale and it completely crushed the glass, so I need to buy a new one. I've been using my mother's scale at her house, but I don't get there until 3PM every day.

I have been eating healthy foods and at the calories limit that I was told to reach (1250 calories). I just wonder why my weight is going up. I went to the restroom and weighed myself and it said 248.5 this time, so it just keeps on fluctuating lol

Thank you all so much! I was going crazy, thinking I wasn't making any progress at all, but I guess that's just beginners fear

I'm not sure what a Market Basket is :o

My 150 budget is from SNAP :) thank you for the suggestion!

I could but the ground around my home is mushy and wet so I feel it might over-water crops. What do you think? Maybe it would work!

How do I do this? ☺ you mean posting it with my post? :)

@Babs2Baby I have to lose around 100 to 120 pounds, if you want to add me :D

@Christine_72 Around here is Massachusetts, USA. I've never heard anyone talk about food scales. And if nobody is talking about food scales, or doing anything like that, in at least one conversation at one point, it's a pretty uncommon thing. They don't even really sell them around here. So I'm not sure what the hell…

+ Of course I'm going to be mad. Not a single person around here uses a food scale and I'm being told I eat too much even though I eat one small meal a day and a small drink. but okay.

@thunder1982 thank you for your answer. Really means a lot that other people with hypothyroidism understand and know information about this.

@GottaBurnEmAll if you actually read anything i said you would know thats not true. I add extra things so it looks like i eat more. I always choose things based off what im actually eating. Im not choosing the lowest calorie options. Idk if youre all from a different country, but nobody around here has a food scale. Not…

@TresaAswegan the reason I think the time of eating is a problem is because I'll eat, and then go sleep. I'll just be laying there after eating all my calories for the day. I don't know really how it works, but I've seen on many different sites that you can gain weight if you eat a lot at night?

@cheryldumais thank you <3 I'll ask them about it!

@cheryldumais thanks for letting me know! I really do need to get my stomach checked out. I throw up most the food I eat, it does not want to stay down. I assume that's a problem..but I never really thought much about it. I assumed it was acid reflux related.

@TresaAswegan Sorry for getting bitter, it's just that weighing my food seems ridiculous. I know what I'm eating and how much I'm eating. The thing I really think it might be is that I only eat late at night. I eat at 10pm every day and that's the only time I eat every day. I do inaccurately log my food, but it's that I'm…

@Fuzzipeg Thanks for the actually insightful answer. I'm not actually sure if I have hashimotos or not, I know I have hypothyroidism though. I would assume that I do have Hashimotos though because both my birth mom and sister have hypothyroidism. I don't blame my thyroid entirely for the weight gain, but I do know that it…

@Susieq_1994 The taco bell ones are because I made my own tacos and thought the taco bell ones are similar enough. Same with KFC, at work I had some potato wedges and didn't know how to enter it correctly. + I don't have a Whataburger around here, I had some fries at work.

@GottaBurnEmAll I made it public :D @Tacklewasher I didn't know that "Open" meant make public, my bad. Maybe you're all from a different area :joy: @birdtobe I really think cutting carbs would be good..I eat a LOT of pasta..

@TresaAswegan I eat what I want but I'm always under my caloric goal. I don't get it :/

@GottaBurnEmAll how do I do that? Let me go look.

@GottaBurnEmAll it says I'm 5'1'' on my profile, not sure why I'd change it. I am 5'1'' :lol: my caloric intake each day is between 930 and 1300 calories most days.

@NicholeAckerman thank you :smile:

@GottaBurnEmAll I'm not finding a height change area in the diary..??
