Stucked up weight loss

neerajanarayan1967

I am in MFP for the past four months. I have been logging food 90% accurately. In the first two months I lost 18-20 pounds. From February I didn't notice any change in the scale. I am exercising 4-5 times atleast 65 minutes each time. My sodium is little bit higher and I don't drink lot of water. I eat healthily with lot of fruits and veggies. But at the same time I eat 500-600 grams of rice a day. For my food entries, for some foods I only have to make homemade or generic entries b'cos there is no checked entries. Why the weight loss got stucked up. Now I am at 90 kgs. Pls help.

If you aren't weighing your foods, you aren't getting accurate calorie counts. You can use the recipe builder to calculate calories in homemade meals yourself.

People still can gain weight "eating healthy" and working out 4-5 times a week. Those things don't matter. Calories matter, and if you aren't tracking them correctly, you will have problems losing.

If you're not logging accurately 100% of the time, that's likely your problem. The entries don't have to be checked, just check the nutrition content against the label the first time you use something or use a USDA entry for fresh produce. Check the Most Helpful posts for some tips on accurate logging.

Logging 90% of the time isn't enough, log 100% of the time and weigh your foods to be accurate.

More sodium and drinking less water also means water retention. However having said that you have to log 100% accurate and as you lose weight your body will require less food to maintain so be sure to update your settings in MFP to ensure you aren't eating too many calories.

Thank you very much for your kind responses. I updated my mfp settings according to the current weight. But I usually check my weight once in 15 days. I will correct my logging hereafter.
