    I think just waiting until I reach a significant amount of weight lost, I'm happy that I'm losing at a healthy steady pace, but I'm sure most people can agree they'd love to see the lbs just slide off. That said, I know it's healthier to lose 2lbs or less a week so as long as I'm losing I'm happy.
    I lost 10 pounds of fat in 2 weeks, and I am sure I will get flack for this from some, but I don't consider that not healthy (1 lb. was "other" which is possibly muscle but a very small amount). If I lose weight that way, I don't mind at all. I don't know what this week is as they only check the body composition every 2 weeks.

    Now if I were losing muscle like that, I would say they need to up my calories, but things are going very well so far.

    a 1/2 case of beer with no bottle opener

    Or a bottle of wine and no cork opener. All I can think is "So this is what hell is like..."

    I spent hours last night working through TDEE, BMR and all my measurements - and now I'm totally confused about my macros.
    The protein I'm supposed to be consuming sounds completely over the top...

    More research to do, I guess. I WILL figure this out though!

    And I know that you shouldn't feel deprived, blah blah blah...but there's also those days where you're eating your calorie-friendly lunch and your super-thin co-worker comes with their fried food, big *kitten* caramel covered divine looking muffin or cake and you're all like this:

    I have recently started a new exercise program and it is making me sleep to the point that I will have to start going to bed at 7 pm, cutting in to my MFP time. :brokenheart:

    Feeling so sleep deprived, writing about it in a topic called the impossible dream, and having nobody respond to it.

    I am frustrated that I can't drink more wine. Honestly. Everything else is going great; I feel good, I'm losing weight, getting stronger... But that 4 oz. serving looks ridiculous in my big wine glass.

    get a smaller glass.

    What frustrates me is last week I was losing a pound every two days. I had a cheat day (ate healthy but had desert which I normally wouldnt) on saturday and ever since then, the scale has been going up instead of down. I havent eaten enough calories to equal a pound and am not eating anything different than last week that would make me retain water. I drink water constantly or green tea. I hurt my knees from biking too hard last week so I havent been biking as hard as last week but I still do ATEAST 10 miles on it. I did 25 on sunday, 35 on Monday, and 10 yesterday. Not to mention my other strengthening workouts and chasing 3 small children around.

    Please somebody help me? I didnt even go over my calories on my cheat day. I made a homemade pie and used low calorie ingredients. Yes I ate more than I shouldve but I saved my calories of the day until my desert because I had it planned. I had salad and yogurt the rest of the day that day.

    so how do I get my body losing weight again instead of gaining?? Btw im 5'9 and *was* 136. At 138.8 now. =/

    Pretty much the same as everyone Else's response...stuck losing and gaining the same 5 to 6 pounds over and over. Trying to eat healthy and kicking it hard at the gym and nothing happens. I work out so hard my underwear and outerwear are SOAKED, but scale is stuck or goes UP. I eat so "wel" that MFP says I'm not taking in enough calories yet scale does not go down. I think I posted all this last week. I have to look at the good things, though the scale hasn't been my friend my blood pressure is down 20 points top and bottom and my blood sugar has dropped 20-30 points and yesterday the Dr said he FULLY supports me trying to get my numbers under control naturally without a pill!

    Constantly being stuck in the house due to the weather, maintaining is SO much easier when you and the kids can just go run around outside!

    Oh lots of things! Mostly, my joint pain & digestive issues. I love to move. I am addicted to physical activity - I have even discovered that I am pretty good at sports (not something I ever knew about myself lol). But I am struggling because the following day's joint pain gives me anxiety about what I'm doing to my body. Also? My lack of $$$ to go see the doctors I need to see to address both problems.

    That I can't have little extra calorie indulgences without going over my allotted calories. I've been doing great fitting a good amount of food that keeps me satisfied within my calorie goals. But I miss having that occasional glass of wine or a bit of dark chocolate. I know, I know, I can have anything if I fit it in. The problem is if I remove or cut back on something else to fit it in, I know I will end up feeling hungry and grouchy. And if I add it on and go over my set deficit, it might set me back and I've been doing so well lately. Maybe its just a mental thing, because I have gone over my calories recently just with my regular meals and it never hurt anything. Hmm, maybe its time to break out that Cabernet Sauvignon that has been sitting around since New Year's....

    Nevermind, maybe I don't have anything to complain about. Except for all the clothes in my closet that don't fit right.

    That my sprained ankle is taking so long to heal and I'm not stable enough to squat and deadlift, or run, or do the fun cardio classes at the gym. I am SO SICK of the elliptical.

    My stepdaughter is acting a lot like her mother this week. Ugh, and the inlaws are coming over tonight for my husbands belated birthday. At least I'll get in my cardio running round like a chicken with its head cut off waiting on everyone.

    That I just can't seem to lose weight unless I have a deep routed feeling of self disgust and hatred! I want to lose weight and need to but I'm really struggling to keep myself motivated :sad:
