I have been losing and getting the same pounds up and down, and despite the effort put in login food and attending exercise classes daily ..... i got stuck. The scale is not moving. It is really bad to be the biggest fattest person in the exercise class, and find the middle section right "in the way" of every movement ..... .

As I was 5 -10 lb up and down for the last 2 years, I decided to take more serious track and accountability measures and keep a log of everything I do and have the professionals at the wellness center measure it.

I always carry a set of measuring cups and spoons with me, so in case I have to eat out, (i usually pack my lunch and snacks), i know how much I eat. Eating vegetables, beans, fruits and nuts it is hard to get up 2000 cal.

I eat whole wheat bread and pasta but just occasionally, and no more than 1 slice a day if and when I eat it, or half cup of whole pastas. I cook at home and at home use the scale. Measuring cups and spoons is for the rare occasion that i have to eat out. Sometimes people get overweight or fat on salad because the salad is swimming in a pool of salad dressing. As a dressing i squeeze a real lemon or add some cider vinegar. I am 5'10 and 234lb . I do not know what is non dedicated exercises. I attend the exercise classes that i am allowed to take given my health condition, with doctors approval and instructors modifications to fit me. 6 days a week My T3 and T4 were border line some time ago

I have an example for you about weighing vs not. In this case if I had not weighed I would have thought I had about 220 calories, but in reality I had 275. First bread slice 10 extra calories- Second Oatmeal 45 extra calories- Little things like that add up quick. If your not losing weight, you might want to try it. I'd show you something with butter and peanut butter, but I have no idea where my TBSP is at the moment.
