    I looked at your diary and it looks to me like you are not logging your food every day. It seems like whole meals are missing and one day only about five hundred calories were logged. If my assumption is correct, then I would say that accurately logging every day would be the best place to start.


    This ^ was my thought as well after taking a quick look at her diary.

    I think our experiences may differ with this.

    What has your experience been?

    I am a little confused as to the question as I already stated my thoughts on the matter. If you want to know specifics, PM me so as not to derail the thread.

    y would I not log truthfully? that makes no sense. and eat more? I get pretty close to my total every day...

    Just using this day on your diary for an example, you arnt eating close to your targets.

    An not logging truthfully, i did that to start off with.. then i got myself together an log truthfully now..

    Heres mine from today.

    Interesting. So her 324 off from her goal of 2127 (15.2%) isn't close to her targets, but your 197 off from 1441 (13.7%) presumably is.

    Is the threshold for "not close" 14%?


    I just dont know what to do with the last 197, and im full lol


    Need to minus 40 from that as iv just had an options hot chocolate... dont worry, im all over the updating :tongue:

    :noway: :grumble:

    Nope, really dont know what to do with the 157 thats left. Im not even a little bit hungry (which im gonna say is a good thing)

    Personally, I'd be a little ticked if someone took a page out of my diary, posted it in an open forum....then accused me of not logging truthfully.....and she isn't that far off from her goal calories.

    1) her diary is open, so its something you could go an get yourself if you wanted.

    2) didnt accuse, i asked and i also explained my reason why..

    You are probably building muscle which weighs more than fat :)
    No it doesn't

    "Muscle does not weigh more than fat, any more than lead weighs more than feathers. A pound is a pound is a pound. Where the misunderstanding often comes in is that muscle is much more dense than fat, so that, by volume, it seems to weigh more. That is, a pound of muscle occupies less space than a pound of fat. In addition, because a pound of muscle burns more fat than a pound of fat, even at rest, by increasing your lean muscle tissue mass, you're helping your body burn more calories.

    But back to your question. If you only have a small amount of weight to lose, then you may feel like the weight training is not helping you move down on the scale. In fact, the number may even go up, but you will look thinner. This is due to an increase in lean body mass (muscle, bone, blood volume) and a decrease in body fat. In other words, even if the scale doesn't change much, you will probably see a difference in how your clothes fit. "

    On the other hand, if you have a lot of weight to lose, you will also experience an increase in lean body mass and loss of body fat. But the results on the scale will probably be more dramatic."

    Ask the Personal Trainer: Does Muscle Weigh More Than Fat?
