My weight loss stalled when I was only eating 1200 per day. I now eat a little over 1700 and have started losing again. Activity stayed the same...

Thank you!

Thanks, everyone! I do appreciate the advice. From now on I will log better, add more protein and veg, and less processed food. I didn't realize I was consuming so much sodium, but that does make sense!
-
Thank you, and the same to you as well :)
-
I greatly appreciate all of the advice! It looks like I need to be more specific in my log.
-
Actually, yes. I am used the fluctuations/stops during that time, but maybe I will just have to give it a few more weeks
-
That makes sense. I can usually tell by looking at the calories, but it is worth double checking!

Here is my progress from two years ago. It is frustrating that it is not happening like it did last time around.
-
I do plan what I will have in advance, I just do not log it. I see that I can do a much better job logging my food.
-
I understand. I just hate to blame it on that because in all likelihood, it is the fact that I need to log better.
-
I assumed the butter was included in the caloric information on the website. 2 years ago I lost 80lbs eating these same foods, that is why I am confused now. When I stopped logging, I gained 60lbs back so I hope you can see my frustration that the things I did to lose 80lbs two years ago, are not working now.

I plan what I will eat in advance, I just do not log it. Looking back at it in the log causes problems for me. Makes sense.

That does make sense and thank you for enlightening me.

Very helpful, thank you. I do have a thyroid condition and take synthetic thyroid so it might be worth adjusting. However, I would like to think I am not eating/exercising properly before I run to adjust medication.
-
Absolutely. What goes into my mouth, goes into my log.I talked to my waiter and made sure he understood exactly what I wanted and my steak came out cut to portion and I gave the other piece to by husband. And as for Taco Cabana, yes, I did have queso with no chips because I used my queso to dip my flautas in. I agree I…

Yes, things that go by weight are weighed. The portion for "1 banana" is 121g so I make sure my banana is that size by cutting or adding. 1 Slice, is just that - 1 slice of bread. Also "1 package" is just that - 1 package. "1 Bar" is 1 granola bar. I don't see how that is difficult to understand. Ex. If I have a slice of…

The cheat days I do not log but I do make sure it is under 1500 calories.
-
And it has been three weeks since I have lost.
-
Thanks y'all. I actually do weigh all of my food using measuring cups and scales so the portions are accurate. The pizza is a frozen pizza and I cut it directly in half so that is why it says 0.5 pizza, because that is exactly what it is. I agree I could eat more protein.
-
Thank you. Yes, my doctor and I worked together to stop the medication. Anti depressants are the devil but that's my bias. I know it can be done because I did it before it just seems overwhelming. One day at a time
-
Yes, it is possible
-
Thank you for your reply. I have been struggling with depression, just stopped taking medication a few months ago as it was making me gain more weight.

Lol you guys cracked me up!

AMAZING AMAZING AMAZING!!!

Yep it is the kool-aid guy, My mom sent it to me and then called me and told me it was too small because it was the smallest of the shirts she sent me. Funny because it was the only one that fit and the others were way too big! So I took that pic and sent it to her with a thumbs up lol
-
And I also wanted to add this using MFP has been the only thing that has worked for me. Today is my 120th day and I have NEVER stuck to anything healthy this long. It has me set at a goal of 1200 calories per day but I usually go by what my Fitbit Zip tells me. If you look at my diary you can see that I do enjoy real food,…
