More tired of not losing than tired in itself! Lol! But yes! I take vitamins and strive for at least 64 oz water, usually between 64 and 80! Thanks for your reply!

I sure will! Like I said in a different reply, I struggle with if I'm eating too much or too little. Right now I'm at 1900 (I'm 34 if you wondered) scaled back on the walking but doing exercise bike for at least 30 minutes. I eat radishes, greens, wide variety of meat, cheese, fruits and veggies. Cut my processed sugar to…

Ya, I struggle with if I'm eating enough. 1900 seems like it's a lot already! I dont want to bump it up and then undo my work by gaining. I'm just not sure! Trying to.just go with the flow but it's hard when another month has passed and nothing has changed. I might bump it to 2000 just to try!

I just noticed new posts! Thanks everyone! Since my original post, I finally decided to really cut my sugars, not just counting calories but now sugars as well. Not including natural sugars, I average 13 grams a day, under the 24 grams recommendation. In 5 days I dropped 8 pounds! Sugar was holding me back! I'm now at 10…

I use a scale and measuring cups. I am guilty of eyeballing small things like veggies and cuts of meat but that's why I am overcompensating with the steps to burn more calories. For just in case, ya know? I could lower my calorie I take lower than 1700 but I'm not sure if I'm supposed to.

I started in March, lost 25 by June, static for about 2 months, semi gave up, quit 2nd job, have been eating 1700 for about 3 months now I think? Been back at it for 3 weeks, 1700, alternate between long distance walking cardio, weightlifting, swimming laps, reintroduced running yesterday. MFP says to eat 2080 which makes…

Yep. Food scale, measuring cups/spoons, scanned barcodes, etc.

Because of how much I was working out. Although I know it's easy to overestimate how much we are actually burning off, so I'm just going to go back down.

Thanks to those for replying! I lost 25lbs doing 1500 but then it stopped and I thought making it wasn't enough calories for my height and weight so I went to 1700. Now I'm thinking maybe it was the fact that I was working 2 jobs and not getting enough sleep. Now that I'm back to one job, I'm going to go back down to 1550…
