I will do that. Follow it to a T. And we will see how it goes. I think the only thing is beating the fatigue and eating what it suggests. That is going to be the hardest part. But I will figure this out one way or the other. Thank you.

that is interesting to know. I didn't realize it could actually do that. My mom had mentioned this weekend that my overall appearance looked better- so something is changing. I will monitor this as well. Thank you.

Thank you very much. I only do cardio for 10 min prior to my strength training. The 30 min. are on the opposite days. I see what you are saying about even eating healthy can cause weight gain. That makes sense. I will up my goal to at least 1 lb and try to stay in that window. I will also begin following everything…

Thank you very much. I appreciate that. I am trying to remind myself of those things as well. I am just frustrated because it’s been a long stretch with good diet and exercise with no movement. But you are right in what you are saying.

Kimny72, I appreciate your response. That makes sense. I just need to get a grasp on all of it. I will take your advice and do just that. Kommo- here is the thing. I am not an idiot. I am not overweight because of my food intake. It is a matter of me adjusting my calories/exercise. I had a hysterectomy over 10 years ago…

I want to first say, thank you for your response. I am new to all of this EXCEPT diet (choices). I am new to calorie counting and strength training. I have seen nutritionists that help me get the diet piece corrected. I have been eating healthy for about two years now. I was able to lose (just through dietary changes) 15…

Help me here if I don’t give you the answer you’re looking for. But I choose 0.5 pounds per week. And moderate activity level. Maybe that’s the problem because I do exercise everyday? (One day off)

I set up MFP for weight loss and apparently it says I should be eating 2300 calories a day. And the thing is I felt so tired and lethargic before and when I increased my caloric intake I did from a tired standpoint begin to feel much better. A lot of what I’ve read about this says I wasn’t eating enough calories. I…

And no, I don’t use cooking oil with meal prep

I understand what you’re saying. But I was tired all of the time, and so hungry by the time I got home. I am just confused by the calorie thing. I know for fact I was not eating what I am now based on the recommendations MFP has given me. (2300 calories) because I am having a hard time eating that much. As far as salad…

Oh and I’m sorry I listed my foods that way, it wasn’t until I joined here that I e really been “counting” my caloric intake

I will tell you I eat very healthy- I do- I’m not just saying that. I was eating (example) 2 eggs for breakfast with a cucumber, an arugula salad with chicken or beef, a few mushrooms and purple onion for lunch, and dinner would be a lean protein a veggie (or two) and maybe some wild rice (rare) and that is it. I was…

Thank you - I will certainly look into that. I appreciate it. It can take some time I guess to see those changes with the calorie climb.
