It has only been a couple of weeks. I know I might be rushing it a bit, but at the start it was so quick and then went to a dead stop. After months of being at a plateau (I admit I wasn't trying as hard as possible during that period) and now really trying to get it going again, it's frustrating to see the numbers not…

I don't really think that's what the problem is. I commented on it to say that it seems to be the only thing that is always over goal. :) The Larabars I made myself with items that had no added sugar (dried cherries and dates for example that had none added--I checked). I don't buy raisins with added sugar. You're right…

You're probably correct in that I could add more workouts to my routine. It would burn more. I'm just not as huge on working out as you obviously are! :) I'll try to add an extra one in the week. Thanks for your suggestion.

Yes, I have adjusted the calories. 1200 was what was given to me at ~165. And thanks! That's very kind of you. That old picture was from 6 years ago, at about 70 lbs heavier than I am today.

I have one, I just don't use it for everything. I use it when the serving size calls for it, like when pasta says that 2 oz is a serving.

No, I don't weigh it all. But I do pay attention to whether it says "large" or "medium" banana, for example. Perhaps I'll start weighing more of my food, you aren't the only one to suggest that.

I don't think so either, especially since an ideal weight for my height is often quoted at 115. (I'm hoping for 130, that would be fine with me.) But I'm trying to lose a bit more because my wedding is coming in 3 months. As stated in the original post, I don't expect to lose 2 lbs per week.

When I logged the 38 minutes at 212 calories, I had the treadmill's incline turned up, which I think burns more. I just logged what the treadmill said. I haven't seen a way to add that into MFP's system. It's probably there and I just didn't search right. Anyway, thank you for trying to help! Have fun at the gym!

Yesterday's quick adds are for homemade berry yogurt muffins that my fiance made. :) He counted all the calories up in the recipe. I just didn't feel like putting the whole thing in. I know I should have. No, I don't weigh things like tortillas. I guess I never considered that. I weigh things like chips and pasta, when it…

As I said in the original post, I don't normally eat back any of my exercise calories.

My diary is now public. Looking through it, it often says that I go way over my sugar intake, but that's almost all fruit sugar. If I can't eat fruit, well, then, I'm screwed.

I don't have a heart rate monitor. Usually when I go to the gym I look at what the machine says I burned, then look at what MFP says (it's always different) and just kind of meet them in the middle.

Yes, I do weigh with a food scale. I basically don't eat anything I can't quantify.
