Hi Racer. It's not fair. Maybe you could try eating your FULL meal plan for 2-3 weeks and see what happens. See how much weight you really gain. Then take it from there. You know there is a test you can done to find out your basal metabolic rate. That is how many calories you need just to maintain your weight. Usually the amount is measure when you are completely still so if you do any movement that amount increases.
It's something to look into anyway. You just breathe into a machine. Have you done it before?

> It just isn't fair! My meal plan is still down -- basically -- to where I started last November, I've gained a huge amount of weight and hate it, and yet I know that I'm really only eating about half of what I'm supposed to be eating! At this rate, that's going to make me weigh twice what my "goal" weight is.

It's worse because when I've slid backwards and restricted, I haven't been able to restrict as much, and really haven't lost any weight. Mostly, my weight has been in the same little range for a couple of months now, no matter how little I eat. Not only am I afraid of what's going to happen if I ever eat as much as I'm supposed to, I'm also feeling trapped by this whole thing, as though now I have no choice, I won't be able to say it isn't working for me and lose the weight again.
