I've lost over 335 lbs in 2.5 years which is great, but I find myself falling into old habits - stress eating.

I'm eating around 2250 cals a day with 60-90 mins workout.

i have a sedentary job and long days, but I always workout first thing in the morning.

What are you eating in a day?

How many cals and how long are you working out.

Thanks in advance!

I crept back into the 230lb range so that prompted me to get back on track.  I use Myfitness pal to track my intake and exercise which has been a great tool.  I am back to taking in around 1600 cal and getting at least 90gr of protein a day.  I am back at 226 but would ultimately like to get to and maintain 215...for me that would be a solid weight.  

For exercise I train BJJ and wrestle MWF during lunch, usually drilling to work up a sweat.  Then regular class and hard rolling for at least 30-60min on M,T,Th,F and a two hour session on Saturdays.  The weather is turning and there is not enough daylight left for mountain bike rides but I try to get at least three in a week if possible for at least 1.5hr each.....probably won't pick that back up until spring though.

The real question is are you seeing in increase in the scale?  If so, have you measured your fat %? (Is THAT increasing?)

One of the best tools for me is the Resting Metabolic Rate test.  Mine measured out to 1690 calories per day at "rest"  So with that in mind, I can log my activities (which adds to calories available in myFitnessPal ) and know what I can eat.  There are days I go way over that total / mostly due to TWO White Mochas from Starbucks at 500 calories each and other days that I do not.

I train maybe 45 minutes at a time, 3 days a week and usually pretty active on the remaining days but not exercising.  My training is running 45 minutes at the moment and 5-10 minutes of push ups (sets)  I was also running a LONG run every Saturday, 2-3 hours in length, but have not done one of those since my marathon in late October.
