Thank you so much, it's amazing to get support from this community :). I really appreciate it. I will keep it up then, and hope for the best!

Thank you for the article, it helped me calm down a bit :). You're right, I'm just going to wait this out and keep trying my best, something has to happen eventually.

You're probably right. I guess I just got really frustrated because I've been working hard at this, and seeing the scale number go in the opposite direction can be pretty discouraging. So I should just wait this out and see. Still, it's kind of confusing and definitely frustrating.

MFP set me at 1500 calories, mostly because it can't go lower than that unless I adjust it manually. Basically, on the days when I don't exercise, I eat between 1200-1500. On days that I do exercise a lot, I eat between 1500-1800, but tend to stay closer to 1500. I adjust this based on the Fitbit app and how much I…

I do have it set to that, yes, plus I use Fitbit to get a better picture of how much I burn during a day. I usually burn between 2500-2800 calories a day, and eat according to that. Even if the math was off and I only burned let's say 2000-2200 calories, I would still have enough of a deficit to lose something, even if…

Thank you your reply :). I have started at 132lbs, then went down to about 128.6 lbs in the first three weeks. After that my weight has been going up and down between 130.8 and 132lbs. For reference, I am 5`2". I keep adjusting my calorie intake every time my weight changes, so I'm fairly confident it's correct, or as…

Glad I'm not the only one. I tried disconnecting and reconnecting the two many many times during the last two days, to no avail. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Those are some great ideas! Thank you so much, I'm going to try all of those. After reading your reply I even started googling for places to buy swim shorts from, so thank you for inspiring me :). Ah, I haven't even thought of that. I never really ate a lot of salty or processed food, but cutting them out completely is…

Thank you very much, I'll do that and see how things go :).

Not at all. I still crave food and I'm wanting to eat out of boredom, but I'm not actually hungry. I'll see, maybe it will go away in a couple of days? It's not like I can really add calories anyway, my deficit is on the smaller side already.

I don't have bipolar, but I have been diagnosed with major depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and autism. I have been on all kinds of antidepressants and antipsychotics, so maybe my experience can help you a little bit. What I found - especially with the antipsychotics - was that I tend to gain a lot of weight. I think…

Yes, I do. I have had several surgeries, and while I don't need a wheelchair anymore, I'm definitely not as stable on my feet as some people are. That's basically what I'm doing right now, isn't it? Sorry, I'm new to this, so I might not really u der stand :). If my calorie deficit is just 250-350 calories a day, wouldn't…
