Thank you everyone for your helpful replies. I think I know what I need to do to take this to the next level!

Thank you, that is definitely helpful!

I haven't been that great at tracking my fluids. I really only log my fluids if they have calories, which is why you see the milk or occasional juice. I usually have 1 diet Pepsi a day. I drink around 16 oz of water during my workout and another 16 oz after. And usually drink water in the afternoon and evening. But nowhere…

Oh and MFP has me at .8 lbs a week at 1200 calories. If I bump it up to .5 lbs a week it only jumps me up to 1340 calories.

It's not 3500, that was just a question I had, to see if it should. But now that you've explained I understand that this is already calculated into it. Last week it was 449 under my weekly goal. I eat between 1200-1400 average each day. My diary is public, you are more than welcome to take a peek if you would like.

If I add more calories, what types of foods do you suggest that I start incorporating into my diet? I've been 1200 for a few weeks now, so I've gotten used to it. I don't want to just throw in ice cream or other not so good for me things just to reach my calorie goal. I don't feel hungry anymore with 1200 calories, it…

At this point I think I would throw a party if I hit and stayed at 127! :laugh:

Oh, probably 2-3 times the calories I eat now.

Ok it sounds like I need to 1. Intensify my workouts to start burning more calories. 2. Stop eating lean cuisines & other canned/pre packaged foods 3. Drink more water Hopefully then I'll start seeing more results.
