The search option is still not working for me, I can't search for any foods.

Nothing working here either. This actually started last night and it's continuing into today.

Great suggestions! Thank you everyone!

I just find it odd that if you put in your weight and the GPS feature maps the route and pace, how all these apps can be different. I don't eat back all my exercise calories anyway, but it would be nice to know what the correct number exactly is. I'm waiting for MFP to integrate with MapMyWalk. :)

pocketmole - I would love the recipe for your vegetarian chili and the pancakes. :) All your food pictures look so yummy!

broscientist - Any recommendations on a good and not too expensive food scale? I recently read about adding a "cheat day" from an article I read. I do have to do this as well. Tweaks are definitely needed. I appreciate all the advice!

Thank you psulemon! I will check out the resource you provided.

adewaleadeloy - I used a light version of balsamic vinegar for salad dressing and any oil I used for cooking is olive oil and I measure the serving size out each time. :happy: I use the quick calorie option for items I can't find in the database and are out of the ordinary. I always calculate the calories for them on the…

Lesa_Sass - great inspiration! It is a concept that is very hard to wrap your head around, agreed! That's one of my road blocks right now. :happy:

nikilis - I am 5' 5" and now weigh 123.5 pounds. My goal weight is 120 pounds.

I am going to keep an eye on the deficit. I had a feeling that something different had to be done because once I increased the cardio, the weight wasn't coming off like it was before when I was exercising less.

ndj1979 - I got the calorie total from using the MapMyWalk app. I don't enter the exact amount from app but rather a bit lower because I'm not entirely certain how accurate it is. I have used online calculators based on my pace and they are very, very close to app total.

Thank you everyone for the advice, I truly appreciate it! I can see that I need to tweak things for sure. I am going to incorporate all the advice I have received and will report back on my progress. :happy:

KAS0917 - thank you for the encouragement as well! I thought of that too and it is something I'm going to try. Mixing things up a bit may help along with being sure to fuel my body. :happy:

broscientist - I opened my dairy, figured it out. :happy: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/food/diary/TigersFan14

scibba - Thank you for the encouragement! It's good to see that by tweaking things a bit, the weight loss will happen again. I'm seeing from all the responses that I need to fuel my body more. :happy:

broscientist - how do I open my dairy? :happy: I measure out all of my food but do not weigh it, I don't have a scale. I'm also a vegetarian, so I make sure I am getting enough protein.

I am going to back and do this again talraviv69. I had done it once before, but it's worth to revisit it. I am going to try all the advice I receive because I'm losing motivation and don't want to become too discouraged that I stop. Thank you!

So I need to pay more attention to the Net value and be sure that my Net equals my daily allotted number of calories?

What is your advice broscientist? :happy:

Thank you ctinawilson, I don't mind the advice at all! It's very helpful and much appreciated. Yes, I'm scared to eat back the calories and I have been reading that on the forums too. Once you started eating back the calories, how long before you started to see weight loss again? That's my thought too, when I'm hungry I…

I have 5 pounds left to lose to achieve my goal.

Approximately 3 or more weeks without losing any weight.

I have not been eating back all of my exercise calories only maybe about 100 or so. The truth is that I'm not hungry enough to eat all the calories back. I don't want to eat just to eat. I eat my regular meals with snacks (healthy stuff) and I don't feel hungry. That's what's so confusing about this.
