Unfortunately, I've been to the doctor quite a bit, and they haven't found signs of thyroid issues or anything else so far. About the only thing they haven't checked for is polycystic ovary syndrome. :(

I decided on 1400 because that's what Myfitnesspal picked. I talked to my coach about it on Monday, and he suggested I try to eat more, so for the past few days I've been leaning more toward 1500 calories and eating more protein in that extra calories so I can see if that helps... Do you know how I can calculate my TDEE…

I did. They haven't found anything yet.

Thank you for actually answering my question. :) It's a bit of a relief hearing that. It's been just over a month since I started working out more than 3x a week. So I guess I just have to keep at it and see? Luckily I'm vegan except for the rare cheat day (and I'm more strict about dairy consumption than I am meat…

The blank ones are because I was on Topamax, and sometimes I would literally come home and fall asleep due to the drug making me extremely tired. So I would miss dinner (and taking my meds), because I was asleep. Surprise, my weight isn't my only health issue. 27th I was probably not feeling well so I didn't log because I…

I've been eating it while I try to figure out what to replace it with. She recommended I switch to something like Life, because I was eating dairy free yogurt that had a looot more sugar than I was comfortable with. I usually don't get hungry until about 11:30-12:00, which is when I usually have lunch.

Thanks! I don't plan on giving up. I've apparently lost an inch on my hips, but my pants aren't fitting any better, so I don't think I measured right. :( I try to drink above 60 oz of water per day (though I know for a fact I slack off on my water on the weekends...).

What is carb cycling? I know about IF but I've never heard of carb cycling.

I've been measuring my food and tracking it for a few months. I'll make my diary public.

Because it's not working...?

I'll get a food scale, but also keep in mind that I do see a nutritionist, and she's the one who said my diet is good, and she's the one who told me to exercise 6x per week.

Most of the food I eat is, for instance "an apple", so I just use MFP and search for "apple". Should I be weighing things like apples, bananas, and broccoli?

*food scale, damn autocorrect

I use measuring cups. Do you think I should get a good scale?

I'm also vegan, so I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables. I eat nuts and beans and soy for protein.

I do see a doctor and a nutritionist. I measure my food and record it in MFP- the highest I go is 1500 calories, and that isn't often. I'm also on phentermine.
