LOL!
Well, I know my calorie range is probably fine... I'm doing the BMR -500 thing, and accounting for the exercise. I'm thinking maybe it's a combination of birth control (which I was never on when I tried to lose weight in the past) and, yep, age. I've never lost weight easily ANYWAY, except when I just stop eating altogether for a few months, and now that I'm in my 30s it's apparently just going to get tougher.
I'm not giving up, though... just whining a little. Hah. Of course I'm sticking with it too! I'm looking at it this way: I really really want to lose weight, but even if I don't, at least I'm going to be *healthier*... I'm exercising, I'm eating well, etc etc.
We'll see if the sugar makes any kind of difference. My binge yesterday was the last of my Christmas candy AND the last of those meringues (although those were at least low-calorie and low-sugar).
Anyway, thanks for the encouragement... and the sympathy! I'm sorry to hear we have the same problem!
