It looks like most people here think I must not be logging correctly. That seems like the easiest answer, so I'm going to double down my efforts there and avoid eating out for a few weeks to see if any extra calories are coming from there. Hopefully you guys are right. I would love it if this was all just because of…

Thank you for the encouragement. I know everyone has their struggles, this is one of mine and I just want to figure it out! No hashi's no PCOS here. According to my Doc and an absolute barrage of tests (including a lipid profile, EKG, and Framingham score of 1 in addition to all the other tests I have mentioned),…

I'm aware that looks suspicous and I have been lurking around for a while so I expected that. The reason I haven't is because I have a fantastic nutritionist who I meet with every two weeks. We go over my diary every time.

I do use measuring cups for some things. I will be weighing more and eating out less to ensure more accurate calculations in the future ( thanks for the tips!). I have had all of those tests done except A1c. They did a fasting glucose and it was fine. All of those tests (plus cortisol, and some other hormones) all came…

My nutritionist has me eating 50% carbs 30% fat and 20% protein. If I don't watch it closely it ends up at 40-45-15. My trainer has measured me and not found any change at all. My weight hasn't changed in either direction despite doubling my calories slowly over the last two months. I weigh every day and see a range of…

When I increased my calorie goal I did not change the way I was logging or measuring in any way. I started at 1300, went to 1700 and then up to 2000. I stayed there for a month, then up to 2300 for two weeks, then up to 2500 last week. All of this was by the recommendation of my nutritionist (she is a weight loss…

Wow! So many responses! You guys are awesome! I'll try to get all your questions answered. I do have a lot of weight to lose, that's how I burn so many calories. The reason I am this big is because I had that adrenal problem and your adrenal glands work together with you thyroid to control your weight. Essentially, it was…

Oh yeah, I should also mention that the first thing my trainer thought was that I might be gaining muscle and losing fat. She said we could tell if that was happening because my measurements would be changing (I carry a lot of weight around the middle), but they have not changed a cm.

I don't think that opening up my diary will help at all. I started out only eating 1300 calories a day, that's what I naturally eat when I eat what I want and don't try to watch what I'm eating (including dessert). I track every bite by weighing with a food scale or measuring with measuring cups and spoons, I never…
