I could have wrote this! I feel your pain. I promise myself I will never fully throw in the towel though because then I would be more unhappy about it than I am now.jenmurphy3 wrote: »

I too am super frustrated. I feel like I’m on a merry-go ... up and down and all around gaining and losing the same 1-2 lbs. I have been following my plan and been increasing my activity until this past week. I have only truly lost 0.9 lbs since 10/1. So, I had a little pity party for myself a couple of days last week. But I’m back at it now and I’m just going to keep following my plan and wait for this damn ride to end.

I see some talking about the frustration, I am with you all there.
I looked at a 21 day plan over the weekend and it suggested my calories needed to be higher to loose.
I know somewhere along the line I played with my calories here on MFP so not sure where they really should be. When I first started it MFP stated 1500, now MFP states 1200.
The point of the post is to make sure you are getting your calories. I used to eat only one sandwich a day and a few small snacks and my husband couldn't figure out why I couldn't loose.
I then started doing a version of Atkins... where I ate 5 times a day and all the veggies and meat I wanted and lost 50 pounds in 3 months. I didn't calorie count with that one though. So, check around at other sites at the suggested calorie intake for you. Read about fasting, I don't think fasting would work for me.
I am not giving up calorie counting because it really makes sense to me to count.
Make sure you are counting every single calorie. If you ate that one cookie.. add those calories. If you had a drink of that chocolate milk, add those calories.. those small things add up fast!
Also, take your measurements, especially if you are working out.
If you are toning that muscle under that fat, you should see it in the tape measure, not necessarily on the scale. (Which reminds me, I need to do that.)
Keep on keeping Team!

I am sorry a few of you are frustrated .... I have to ask are you eating back at least 1/2 of your calorie burn from exercise ? That is the way MFP does things ...MFP gave me 1650 has a base to eat without exercise ... now I burn anywhere from 500 to 1000 or more depending what I am doing that day for exercise ... I use a fitbit's calorie burn not MFP..and I eat most of what I burn and I am losing ...If you are not eating at least 1/2 of your burn then you may be eating to little ...I wish you all the very best and hope you can figure it out

Hi all
Hope you are all well and crushing your goals.
Week recap_ I eat too much but I binged just 1x this week which has been progress for me.
My goal this week is to try and eat a bit less but I am still focusing on not binging as my primary goal.
PW: 244.6
Cw: 238.6
Have a blessed weekend all.xx

Exercise hike
I meal planned and made shopping list for the week. Scale down today so really hoping I can hold on to the loss for a couple of days until weight in day.
I think the meal planning will help you. I find it so helpful to look at my list and see what is on the menu for the day. I find I save money too as I am sticking to a list and ordering less takeout.eaturpasta wrote: »10/16 check in.
