I figured out why I’m not losing weight. I keep eating too much

likes and dislikes
I thought I would give Keto a try. I could hang on for a week and was struggling. I like carbs and that's probably not going to change. I could not get used to eat a lot of fat because I learned fat is bad for you. And all the Keto rules was exhausting. I did enjoy eating bacon and cooking my food in butter. But I love…

WW
So have anyone tried weight watchers? was it worth it? Did you like it? I was trying Keto for a short time but decided I like carbs and that's going to change. With WW, they are more flexible about carbs. Points vs calories, which do you think better?

how I lost my mojo
This is a story of how I lost my mojo. I was so sick and tired of being sick and tired that I stared WW and was loving it. Then one day I got sick. I had a sore throat and coughing fits and high fever. While being sick I lost my sense of smell and taste and everything hurt to swallow except for ice cream and jello. When…

Lap band on WW
I have joined WW because I have had success with it before. In the first week I lost 6 pounds but the holidays came and I lost all control. I have failed and gained weight. I still log my food honestly and exercise. Also I am 1 of the many people at home because of the governments shut down. I'm feeling really low and…

Level 10 stress
Today I am super stressed out because of my job. I am on furlough and not receiving any income. This stress is is making me want to turn to food for comfort. But I know that comfort will be temporary. So I’m taking some time today to just cry and wait for the stress to pass.

thoughts that wake me up at night
Since last June, I have lost about 20 pounds. But going back to the beginning, in 2014 I was at my heaviest (244) and had lap band surgery. I am now around low 180's. I am seriously considering skin removal surgery. I would like to hear your thought from anyone that has had skin removal surgery because I am not sure if I…

Getting through the day...
I'm losing my motivation around noon every day. I eat healthy all morning and then reach for chips and candy. Since last month I have been busy taking care of everyone else. I even hurt my back and ignored it because family needs me. But I could not take the pain anymore and told everyone I need time to heal. While I was…

stress/emotional eating
I don't normally emotional or stress eat. If I get over stressed or emotional, I won't eat until I feel better but today, I did opposite of my internal programming. I had a disagreement with a family member and I walked away and began to eat. Well I'm done eating and I still feel angry. Not only over the disagreement but I…

I'm glad I found you
I am 50 year old, 4 year post op lap band. I have lost 50 pounds and gained 10 and was on pause for a long time. Last summer I decided to get back into MFP and just lose 10 because my pants were getting tight. I went beyond losing 10 pounds. I really want to lose 10 more, or even 15 more. What really got me motivated was…

A head cold and exercise
I have a stuffed up nose and lots of sneezing today but no chest congestion. I still want to do at least 30 minutes on elliptical. I don't think a small work out will make me any worse.

seeking MFP friends
Hello my fellow dieters, I have been a member MFP for a long time and had some success. I took a very long break and now I have returned because my clothes were getting snug. According to my log, I have been going strong for 64 days. That is the longest I have stuck with any kind of eating plan. In the last 64 days I have…

cake blew my whole day
My work people surprised me with rich chocolate cake yesterday to celebrate my birthday (my b-day was 3 weeks ago). I had a slice and logged it at about 200 calories. My thinking was, I will make this my snack and just go on with my day. I know cake is pure sugar and I will be starving an hour later. I know I didn't have…

I am happy
I checked my scale this morning and I was pleased. I am on a journey to lose 10 pounds at a time and in no big hurry. Today I reached my first 10 pounds. I had actually started this 10 pound journey in June and was on hold for a month and got back on track in August. I challenged myself to lose 10 by my birthday and do it…

I'm stuck!
For the last 2 weeks the scale has not moved. I can look at it as a good thing but I know I have to make a change some how to start dropping weight again. Either up my calories a little or up my exercise. My goal is 10,000 per day and my calories are 1330 to drop 1 pound per week. For 2 weeks I was dropping weight fast and…

still here
I am still logging in every day but not trying my best to lose weight. My scale broke and have not been motivated to even try to lose. But I still like to see my progress in my food diary everyday. Next week, I'm going to start to try to lose a few more pounds.

Munchies
I have the munchies and I am not trying very hard to stop it. I'm eating popcorn and grahamfuls. But I am satisfied now. I know I ate more calories that I should have. The odd thing is I'm not sorry for eating the munchies.

vending machine!
I did it! I got a bag of chips from the vending machine. I was starving! Tomorrow I will be better prepared and not let myself get over hungry.

They were surprised then I parked the car a half mile away from the park. Ha Ha Ha! Got Cha! If you want to play, you are gonna have to work…

I want to record the calories burned on my exercise but not sure how much calories it burns since it's not on the exercise menu. Would anyone know how I can calculate calories burned…
