Disappointed in weight loss. Can't eat enough calories.

9. How is it going now?

It does look like you were consuming too little, though your weight loss rate of 2 pounds/week isn't bad. A good rule of thumb is 3500 cal/week gives a 1 pound/week loss rate.

I lost 40 pounds this year using My Fitness Pal, a free site (with apps for most mobile devices) that helps you set goals and log food intake and exercise. I'm 48 and started at 210 lbs, 5' 10" so we're pretty close in size. What I've found is that tracking everything makes me exercise a LOT more (I'm biking 15-20 miles most days) and helps cut down on mindless eating.
