Thanks guys appreciate the response. My logging is to a T I know that, I weigh everything I eat and track it accurately. I usually under estimate exercise somewhat as well, so I know that's in good order. Also with the types of food I'm eating, even if I was under estimating, it would take a large amount to make a…
