no flow chart needed. not losing weight? eat less, move more. simple.
Here we're going to disagree. The flowchart is great because it helps people figure out where their thinking if off. Eat less isn't always useful information. Sometimes the answer is to wait more than 3 days before expecting results. Sometimes it's to use better estimates or stop trusting overblown exercise calories. Arming people with information above and beyond "eat less" gives them more tools for long term success.

Your attention seeking behaviour is worrying.0

I think people over complicate things, I did it for a long time when I was having trouble losing weight. A personal trainer friend of mine told me the simple words that have help me lose 100 pounds........."eat less, move more"............scale not moving? do one or both. losing weight? don't change a thing!0

I agree the flowchart is unnecessary. Eat at a deficit and bam! Weight loss.0

people's lack of common sense is worrying!! I got tired of reading threads with eat more to lose weight, starvation mode, you're losing fat and gaining muscle at the same time, blah blah blah0 -

That does indeed get old.
INDEED! It's maddening. That's the reason I posted this thread.0 -

Sorry this isnt true my profile pic some weeks id not lose I weigh measure everything never cheated did tons exercise 12 cardio classes a week 4 gym sessions for weights 2 hours walking 6 days a week and C25K on 1500 calories a day so I was 100% not eating enough calories not to warrant weightloss
When you exercise a lot you don't always see it on the scales it's on the tape measure spent 28 years doing this and for us ladies there's many times we don't lose and we are 100% it's called hormones water retention
No way can you state if your not losing your not doing this right as I know I am
I've even done vlcd 600 cals a day replacement shakes that's it no food at all no cheating 12 weeks and a couple weeks had no losses.
You can't be saying things that aren't true also some people only have 20lbs to lose so will not lose every week bigger and younger you are the more you lose and more often been there done that many times.

Muscle does NOT weigh more than fat. What weighs more, 100 pounds of feathers or 100 pounds of bricks?
Um, k. What?
So nothing weighs more than anything else. In the world. Because you can always have 100 pounds of anything equalling 100 pounds of anything else.
Obviously, when comparing weight within the context of normal conversation, we take volume into account.
What's your agenda when you decide to not consider volume? I don't get it...0 -

You'd be amazed at the number of people for whom this is not obvious. They will also be unable to either answer correctly or see the relationship to the bricks/feathers example.0 -

we are talking about the number on the scale which is a measurement of weight, not volume. Losing 20 pounds of fat and then gaining 20 pounds of muscle will obviously make you look better even at the same weight.0 -
