is this a structured lifting regimen you are following? What constitutes this "very heavy" lifting regimen...0
-

-
35lb*0
-
What program are you following?0
-
I'm a trainer I have my own way of structuring it..my workouts are intense, they don't need the tweaking, I just need help with the calorie setting0
-
I'm pretty alarmed that you're a trainer and can't figure out the whole logging and TDEE/NEAT thing. Do you train other people?14

There is a much larger association of health based on a healthy weight, being active and genetics. The foods you eat dont overly influence things too much. You say avoid fat, but MUFA and omega 3s are correlated with improved metabolic markers. And since therr is no definition of clean, its a ridiculous argument. Yes people should eat nutritionally dense foods and some may have to worry about cetain macronutrients but losing weight alone will greatly improve your positon. So will exercising.
And to further demonstrate what i mean, look at the below.

yes, and sugar can be a part of an overall healthy diet where one hits calorie targets and meets macros and micros. No need to avoid it or eliminate it.4 -

Soy sauce is NOTORIOUS for water retention. Cut back on it and see what happens. Also with only less than 10lbs to lose, your goal should be only .25lbs a week or so.

It wasn't a put down. It does concern me that you're training people without thoroughly knowing some of the fundamentals a trainer should know about human physiology.9 -

Make your diary public if you've started tracking & logging.3 -

if you are "very toned and fit" why are you trying to lose another ten pounds? Maybe you should focus on recomping...2 -

I said to eat in maintenance and lift weights to build muscle and lose fat/get leaner. its a slow process. thats when you said that 1100-1400 was not your maintenance. not being rude here but you should know what a recomp is.3 -
I took away some cardio and added in more weight training days. Then I started gaining weight out of no where...
This is your problem. You took away a high-calorie burning exercise and replaced it with something that doesn't match the burn... likely without changing your calorie intake. You're eating too much.

Someone sent this to me..TDEE for Sedentary is around1600 and for lightly active is 1850 that's not taking into account exercise so personally if I was you I would aim for 1400-1500 per day and log your exercise, eat half the cals back and see where you are in a month. It might seem like slow progress but you're already at the top end of the "Normal" BMI range for your height so you probably don't have too much to lose.
For those on this post this is the other thread OP is referring to.. http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/comment/38918808#Comment_38918808
I feel like the last 2 pages are a re-run of yesterday pretty much doh!0
