Since you want to assume things would you like to assume how much I can deadlift?
Where have I said I guess what people lift? What I am saying is since I don't know you and this a public forum, if you told me you benched 305 lbs I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt because why lie on here (I've already said my honest opinion of what I do to track eating so why lie about lifts? Seems pointless).0 -

SO you didn't say this.
.I understand you skepticism because it's probably something that you can't do so better to disbelieve for your own sanity and pride than give the benefit of the doubt
ETA: People lie all the time on MFP forums. Stick around and you will see it for yourself.
In response to that quote though I do not use machines for lifting weights. I used to just throw weight on a bar, set up on a one of those steps and do calf raises that way.0 -

Never said I guess people's deadlifts. What I am saying is I don't know you personally and this is a public forum, if you told me that you benched 300lbs then I am willing to give you the benefit of the doubt because why lie on here? Already told you what I do for my diet so no reason to lie about my exercise especially when my profile on MFP is public. At the end of the day we have opinions and not once did I really attack yours or MrM's because I am secure enough with what I am personally trying to accomplish but am open to hearing others ideas and share when I can. If you want to attack me or doubt me so be it, the world needs haters. By the way, still waiting on the part of this thread where you are "slaying" me but I guess that was just s*** talk.

Measure your food, stay active, watch your fat grams, meet your protein goals and reevaluate monthly. If you want water loss crash diet results... Then go on a juicing spree. If you want a permanent healthy lifestyle change that happens to result in a loss of body fat... Buckle down, and be patient. Think of how long it took you to gain the weight, losing it takes time too.0

If the poor OP waded through all that Broscience, she's probably feeling a little disoriented.

I said probably can't do but never guessed what you could do. Again would give you the benefit of the doubt if you said it because why lie? Again all about sharing and all you are doing is trying find reasons to troll and hate. No worries and good luck

I weighed myself on Day #7 and had met my goal of a 1 pound weight loss! I guess during this first week I kept weighing myself stressing out because I felt like I was starving and wanted to make sure this was all worth it! My body was detoxing from all the Junk food I'm used to eating and the Soda Im used to drinking. Im slowly getting on track and the 1 pound weight loss is my incentive to continue eating healthy and sticking to my 1500 cal diet. after week 2 I am going to slowly bring that to a 1200 cal diet. Thanks everyone for your advice and your support!0

Why? Is there a reason you are in such a hurry?

Why are you dropping calories by 300 after 1 week?
I was detoxing from drinking Soda, and Junk food/Sugary foods I quit both cold turkey. I'm also used to eating a whole lot more than 1500 calories and eating fast food every day, a 1200 calorie diet was recommended by a nutritionist, I decided to start with 1500 and slowly work my way down to my 1200 calorie a day goal. I am not saying I am dropping 300 calories after 2 weeks, I am only saying I will be working my way to my 1200 calorie a day goal. I will adjust my calories as needed, I've also just started working out. I've just set out on a healthier life style so its trial and error until I figure out what works best for me. I am 5'1" and started out weighing 170 My goal weight is 135 and to get my bmi down.

Is that a trick question or something? Lol Ive repeated myself several times, I (was) am detoxing from all the Junk Ive been eating my whole life. Lots of caffeine, sugar, and processed foods. Am I using the wrong lingo or something? Why am I being asked "detoxing from what exactly" I dont know specifics because I never payed attention to what I ate before now. Also why is it that everyone before was telling me to do a 1200 calorie diet and now everyone is like whats your hurry in cutting your calorie intake?! Im following advice from a nutrionist and actually easing into what was recommended in the first place. Whats the hurry? Im considered obese on the bmi scale and my health is in danger, Im being proactive.0

The reason people are asking you about detoxing is because detox isn't real. It's unnecessary for weight loss, it's an imaginary concept.
I hope this idea didn't come from your nutritionist.

They are asking you what toxins, specifically, you think you are detoxing from your body. Because generally when people set out to do one of these "detoxes" or "cleanses" they have a lot of vague ideas that they need to kick start a process, rid their body of something, in order to then begin their weight loss. This is unnecessary. First, there is nothing wrong with sugar, fast food, or any other kind of "junk food" in moderation. You can continue to eat all of those things and still lose weight. That doesn't mean you aren't right to want to eat more nutritionally dense food, they will help fill you up and reach your macro and micro goals. It just means that it is ok to still eat the things you enjoy, in moderation.
Anecdotally I am the same height as you, and lost 1 lb/week at 1500 and still lose at close to 1700 cals/day. I tried 1200 and I was miserable. Most people don't need to go that low to lose weight. If you are losing at 1500, why not just stay with that number?

Thank you guys for explaining, so I guess rather than saying I was detoxing I should have said I was adjusting to my new diet. I am going to see how things go and adjust my calories or diet as needed.0

That's the right attitude to have! I think the BMI chart is crazy if that photo is obese, you look amazing.

I don't know if someone has already posted this, but it is very common to gain weight when first starting to work out. I'd recommend waiting to weigh in another week.0

Can you please explain?
Sure, you have probably heard this a billion times but health and fitness is a lifestyle and not a short term goal. If you are just looking for that quick solution is cut down what you eat, drink more water and walk more and check in every month to adjust. If you really are committed to a health lifestyle that entails making sure that you pay close to your BMR and changing you calories based on that which means you do have to check your weight more frequently. Im a huge advocate of IIFYM and adjust every 3-4 days because of I am currently cutting weight (fancy term for calorie deficit to lose fat and retain as much muscle as I can). Anyone looking to lose weight the healthy way should really hit that scale once a week and make sure they are hitting calories by eatting the right foods and the proper balance of macronutrients (protein/carbohydrates/fat). If you want to know more add me and message me questions or you can take a look at my public diary for an idea of what I do.
You adjust every 3-4 days?
yeah....that's not...not good. Borderline disordered, dude.
And, OP, a week is no time at all. Your weight is going to fluctuate up to 5 pounds over the course of the day, depending on your water retention and digestive timing. (In other words, what is the weight of the actual food you've eaten and where is it currently hanging out on its journey to the sewer?)
I can't believe people have jumped to "you must be eating too much!" and "Go lower on your calories!" when OP has only been at this for a week! You look young and tall in your photo, 1500 is probably a sensible target for you, so keep on for a bit. Cutting all the way back to 1200 sends many, many people to the forums wailing that they're staaaaaarving or that they broke down and ate an entire bag of candy in rebellion. 1500 is incredibly doable and attainable, so if you came to that number through TDEE calculators or MFP's, I bet it's a fine setting for you for now. I'm on 1500 and an old hag....still a deficit, still losing. If you still don't see changes in your weight or measurements after a month, then reconsider from there.
Hey now lets wait for their reply. Tag @upgradeddiddy
Ha, again the weight itself is just a number to update my calculators to plan my meals so on any given day I can look and say "hey, maybe I can add a bowl of oatmeal here!" Or "okay let's NOT take that cookie" a little obsessive yes but my concern is meeting the proper calories and eating the right macro sources which is why I premised it by saying if you want to just "lose weight" once a month is fine. But if you are interested in a lifestyle you should know your weight on a weekly/biweekly basis and body fat on a biweekly/monthly basis.
You just keep saying the same thing over and over. Knock it off. It's a ridiculous statement. Lose weight, weigh monthly. Be healthy weigh weekly. That's just a rule you made up that has no basis.
Why so angry? I have my way and you have yours obviously. And yes I have my guidelines because they work for me. That's really the end of it for anyone for health and fitness is what works for them. There is no "ridiculous" ideas out there, hence why there is the community on here in the first place, share ideas and get different views.
If they are your guidelines but you insist on promoting them to other people as the way they should do things then you should provide valid reasoning why your way is the way it should be and why doing the opposite is worse. Until then you will continue to get called out for nonsense.
Apologies if I "insisted" anything, seems to have struck a nerve even though I don't think in any part of what I said where I said anything she was doing was wrong, I believe I said if it's just an overall weight loss goal do one thing if it's a lifestyle change do the other, but I digress... I just stated my opinion based on what has worked for me, what I have observed from others (whether athletic or non-athletic) and what I have read. You can choose to agree and apply it or you can choose to disagree and do something else ain't a thing to me what you do. But you have to be pretty weak minded to keep saying that someone's opinion is nonsense when at the end of the day it's an opinion and not one persons opinion is right or wrong because it's up to the individual to make a choice on what they choose to believe or not. But hey that's just my OPINION again smh
Everything strikes a nerve with MrM270 -
