I am starting to worry a bit. Since I started logging food and exercise, and paying attention to calorie intake, I have gained 14 lbs. That’s one year, folks. This is the puzzling thing to me: if I were to rely on the calculations done by this program, I should have been losing, consistently, 1.37 pounds per week, instead. This is based on the charts for my height, age, gender, etc and the amount of activity I have in my day. (Actually, this is with me saying I am bedridden.) So either: my body chemistry etc is SERIOUSLY out of whack or I am eating MORE when I log than when I don’t. I do believe I am being careful and accurate.
I am going to try not logging my food for a month. I am going to pay attention to what I am eating and how I am feeling; I am going to keep up with the physical activity, but I am not going to use fitday for one month.
I am also going to consider going to a naturopath and review my nutritional status. I take a lot of vitamin and mineral supplements - but maybe I am missing something crucial.
We’ll see.

What a bummer. I know I was noting that I have been on here almost a year and not lost much weight..well I guess I did start at 205 and am now about 197.5 (AGAIN!). So perhaps that is something. I don’t log, FYI.

I hear you. Good idea about consulting the naturopath.
