Hi Pinkdreams:
Most of these answers will NOT be what you want to hear, sorry to say.
1) What was your start weight?
I used to weight 145 lbs years ago and lost it before I started LCing. Too complicated to get into - it's in my journal.
2) What were/is your average calorie consumption per day?
1230-1300 calories/day - BTW, your goal should be 10-12X current weight, NOT 8-10X. Most people would agree that 8-10X is too little.
3) How many lbs per week did/do you lose on average? (PLEASE don’t forget to answer #3!)
1/2 pound/week - I can take it off faster by reducing my calories even more, but 1) it's not healthy and 2) it causes binges and yo-yoing. To make the last 10 pounds of weight stay off permanently you have to learn patience. Taking those last pounds off quickly and keeping it off is an "oxymoron".
I've learned that you can't tell your body what you want it to do. It has it's own agenda to keep you healthy, which may be different than everyone else's. All you can do is feed it properly and do all those things that you are already doing so well re: your signature.
.
4) How long did you stay in Induction (20 gm carbs max)?
Longer than most in order to control reactive hunger/binges. Everything I do revolves around controlling my sugar addiction/binges as opposed to weight loss.

Wow! That's lots of work. Why don't you create your own "custom" foods in fitday if you see discrepancies. Or use a different software package as a gift to yourself?
I use a program (but it wasn't free) that I found helpful in making me understand many of the things I've learned.
