You are not being a pain!  I enjoy chatting about what works!  This is my opinion.......you need to up your calories.  Many people on this site may not agree but I think if you don't eat enough you are not going to lose weight and you are messing with your metabolism.  I am trying to eat 1200 plus the amount I earn from exercise so if I get 200 from walking on the treadmill I try to eat 1400.  That is not very high and I think the key also is the % of protein.  I am trying to get 40% protein which is 140 grams for me, way more than I was doing before.  Please let me know if this works for you, I have just been trying it a week but I like it so far and my weight is staying down.

Hi Sandi...that is awesome!!! I hope I do as well as you!

I do the 40-30-30 plan too. I love it...it gives me just the right amount of carbs for the weight to come off and still have energy. I use sparkpeople to log my food and if I miss logging for a few days, I hit a plateau. I will need to log my food for life but I enjoy it now. Seeing everything in print and looking at how far I have come is a huge motivator.

Glad you found a site you like and are seeing results....great job!!!

I am so glad the new site and nutrient percentages are working for you. I am actually having some slight scale movement again after over a year at the same weight. Hope it works for me to. Congrats on the size 8. I am still hoping to make it there some day.

I'm glad too and very happy the scale is moving for you also!  My weight is down 3 pounds total since I started using it!  You have been so much help and a great inspiration!
