Decision Time- Advice from those who've been there plz.
Okay, so I've been at this since January. Not lost a single pound- though I've lost a few inches but not really enough to make dramatic drop in pants size or anything.

For the 3rd time in as many weeks I'm bloated, and feel like someone is pushing their thumb right into my stomach under my ribs-- constantly.

MFP Exercise estimates
Okay, so I am aware that the exercise calories burned on MFP are very wide estimates but why has mine changed? Today I did 40 minutes elliptical-- the same as last Tuesday-- and the calories burned are different. I'm not using the scale and the one time I did get on in the last 4 weeks I had lost 5lbs.
