Too many calories??

That's why i'm doing myfitnesspal for longterm purposes and not eating 700-900 calories a day and then binging.

Because measurements have been brought up.

Weight fluctuates. You can lose 1lb a week and have a higher weight today than you did 30 days ago under the right (wrong) conditions.

Unless you're losing a 2+ lbs a week in the super obese range it is HARD to judge progress on a day to day basis because of the fluctuations.

The answer is NOT weigh once a week or once a month because of the first point I brought up.

The answer is a trending weight app or web site where you consistently record your weight under "standard" conditions once a day and watch the general trend in addition to the daily numbers.

I use trendweight.com in conjunction with a freely available Fitbit.com account (no device required). Weighgrapher.com allows for manual direct entry of weight data. So do Libra for Android and happy scale for iPhone.

Don't restrict too much. Never give up and go on a binge because you flubbed it. Frankly getting back on the wagon as fast as possible is the only thing that will unflub it.

Stop thinking along the lines of "I put this effort in, I should be rewarded".

If you are putting a big effort in and doing things differently than you're willing to do things long term... what happens long term? What have you learned? Seek to develop a way of eating and moving that will be permanent. Not a diet.

End of my $0.22! (inflation)

Um, i'm not obese i'm also very tall.

Re-read what I wrote and point out to me where I think you're obese. Thank you.

Doing MFP does not develop a way of eating by itself.

You still have to work it and try different things and see what suits YOU better for the long term.

Someone clarified to me already, thanks.
