I started in January 2011 and lost 26 pounds eating back all my exercise calories. Since August of 2011...I have lost TWO pounds. I don't know what I am doing wrong...I work out 6 days a week and never eat below 1500-1600 calories NET. THIS IS SOOO FRUSTRATING!!! NUMBERS, NUMBERS, NUMBERS :/

Hey...Are your TOTAL calories 1600 or your NET calories 1600? Just asking because I am now netting 1200 calories (eating back my exercise calories trying not to go over 1600 calories total) and the scale is not budging. I have thrown it out but it didn't for the longest time :( And I don't think NETTING less than 1200…

WATER, WATER, WATER WEIGHT! I drive myself CRAZY over the last months (8) losing and gaining the SAME 5 pounds...I think I might have broken my plateau from hell this morning....It is NOT a 5 pound gain...Put the scale away if it makes you nuts...Weigh in ONLY once a week if you really want to and measure your body! Hang…

LMAO!! Noooooooo...Americans think Canadians call ham bacon...!!! Never understood this...Or why I can never find a GOOD smoked meat sandwhich ;)

Anyone who disputes sugar or refined carbs can't be addicting simply needs to read MORE. I agree, it's VERY real. And so does the medical community.

University level classes and books. I'm always learning about something. This information is available to all people. It's up to you whether you want to learn it or not. [/quote] I see. I encourage you to do the same.

"This is something I studied a lot in sociology and it has become a problem since everyone thinks they are damaged goods and cannot be culpable for their actions. " Funny, I have studied sociology a lot and an addiction specialist I am NOT. Absurd? Maybe.

Why do you care if some people chose to avoid certain foods? There is another thread out there called "what pisses you off on MFP?" THIS would be it. I am happy that you are able to eat what you want, in moderation. And frankly jealous. I am just not there yet. Because I cannot eat just 3 oreo cookies...I just can't. Maybe…

Where do you get this info?

LMAO!!! That's pretty much of I feel these days...I am SO tired of new "revelations" and this and that...

Thanks ;) xo

Starts off innocently. Pretty soon it' dangerous. Flirt with your wife, your husband or your partner. THEY ARE REAL.

Thanks :) Will check it out!!

Thanks Everyone :) I lost 26 pounds doing it with MFP and then the scale STOPPED. Have been losing and gaining the SAME 5 pounds over and over again since then. Changed some macros, workouts and everything under the sun. Before I really lose my mind and end up giving UP, I think this is for the best. Will continue to track…

If anyone can make this picture visible that would be great :)

Thanks Everyone for the great reads and links... I decided to throw the scale out last night...NOT GIVE UP..Just throw out the scale for now. I am becoming so obsessed and consumed by numbers...I need a nap!! Thanks again.. P.S. Will post again soon for an update :)

Thanks...Will check her out :)

SLOANIE!!! IF I LOOKED LIKE YOU I WOULD BE THRILLED TO BE AT A PLATEAU ;) Hugs...xo

Thanks :)

THANKS ALL! I had upped my calories back in January to 1800 and the scale didn't budge :( In february, I lowered them to 1600...Same. At the beginning of March I decided to only net 1550 and the scale did start moving again for a 4 pound lost total last Friday(1 pound a week)...And then this morning...Back up the 4 pounds.…

Thank you...The scale is my WORST enemy.

I workout on my ellitical 3-4 times a week and Zumba twice a week....Plus the bootcamp style workouts are also cardio...Trust me ;)

Thank you :) i have strated doing some tabata style workouts and some body pump too...What I just cannot understand is no matter what type of exercises one does...A deficit should be a deficit...No? Thanks for the link...I think I already read it ;) xox

THanks...That's the thing..I now have an "easy fit" and I am at a deficit :( I usually net about 15-1600 calories and my data is usually around 2300-2600 calories. I tried eating more and the results were the same....:(

Diary is open to my friends only.

Well if you are like me and you have worked your @$$ off for the last 15 months...The scale not consistently going down is FRUSTRATING, DEPRESSING AND YES...HAUNTING.

WOW!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING :) Keep up the GREAT work! P.S. Did you ever plateau during this time? After I hit the 26 pound mark (August 2011) The scale stopped...

ARGH :( Being a SAHM has been the MOST DIFFICULT CHALLENGE OF MY LIFE!!!!! And I used to be an Autism/behavior Interventionist who got her hair pulled, got bit and hit all the time!!! Hugs your way... E xo
