I’m dealing with the same issue. Three-plus weeks at the exact same weight despite the calorie deficit. I had a massive red headed meltdown the other day - I’m not stepping on that scale for a while. It’s a jerk. I’m 53. Post menopause, trying to get my masters and keep my sanity. I don’t know the key. Someone said I…

Thanks. I’m trying to be reasonable. I just want to fit in a dress and not look like a cow for my daughters law school graduation. Nobody cares but me about this. It’s a month and a half away. I started February 1 - I thought 15 pounds in over 100 days would be a reasonable goal. I do yoga, planks, walk the ridiculously…

Thank you.

Yes. Thank you. I am weighing everything. Washing that scale a million times a day. The bread was exactly 25 grams per slice. Three grams less thN the package. Yes I weighed the olives and yes I weighed the super thin sliced prosciutto and the relish. As far as the meat goes, I cut it to the proper amount. And there was…

Ok. This app told me what my calorie limit per day should be to lose weight. But y’all are all telling me to eat more than that. My husband has lost twice what I have and cheated numerous times. I’m so stressed out - I asked him to come on this journey with me and all I’ve done is proven once again that even being…

I’m 53. Been at this for a couple months now. The good news is if I was an Irish peasant during the potato famine, I’d survive. The bad news is I’ve been stalled for over 3 weeks. Tapeworms and liposuction are starting to look really good to me. Logging everything. I’m weighing all my food. Moderately exercising.…

Ok. Still the same weight. No change at all. Been weighing everything. Walking the dogs but not too much. Exercise gently with my physical therapist. When I finish my day it keeps telling me I’ll be xx in 5 weeks. Hah!! Maybe if I chop off an arm. I’m so over this.

OP here. Thank you for your suggestions. I did pull out my food scale and weighed my food last night. My estimates were off, what I thought would be 4 ounces was weighed as 2.5. Kinda makes sense tho. When I did HCG you had to weigh exactly 100 grams of raw meat and that’s what it looks like when it’s cooked. So, I’ll keep…

Ok. I have been using measuring cups for things like my steel cut oatmeal. I do have a food scale I used back when I did HCG. I was trying to be more reasonable- less restrictive. This is supposed to be a life style right ? Using a food scale for every molecule I eat is not feasible but I can try it. I was taught at WW to…

I figured it out.

I’d be happy to make my diary public not sure how I’m post menopause- so no issue with that
