    Lyle McDonald says for average Jane or Joe, losing fat means losing weight. So I am not that special...I need to lose weight but just don't know how...what else can I try...

    Calories in versus calories out. It's impossible not to lose weight if you're eating less than you're burning in a day. I would suggest that people who are stating that they're stuck review their calculations on calories burned and or make certain that they are logging in and recording all food intake during the day.

    Also check to see if your activity level on MFP is adjusted to high. The only truly active people are those that do heavy physical labor for their jobs. Working out a few times a week really doesn't compare to say the physical activity of a framer who does it for a living.

    ...it's hard to be big and heavy..
    You're not big and heavy, or big, or heavy. If you were, you wouldn't be hiding your weight and BMI from us. :flowerforyou:

    ...it's hard to be big and heavy..


    Wait, in other threads you've posted...

    I am pretty lean around my waist and for most of time of the year, six packs are very visible. However, I do notice from time to time, my lower belly is bulging out. It's firm at touch, not flappy or jiggling...it makes me super self conscious and feel "fat" as scale number usually goes up with it as well

    And....
    My own experience is this: after 2 years of running, weight training, and other hardcore stuff, my thighs are no longer jiggling when I move. The inner thighs are very firm at touch. And if I flex, I can see the "tones" along the quads, hammie and inner thighs. I know, I know they are not all muscles but what could have contributed to this change?

    And you sound very fit and your blog shows you running 4-6 times a week.

    I think you might consider that your body image is not aligned with the reality. Forget BMI, if you are showing 6 pack abs, you are likely lean.

    I seriously consider you to search Layne Norton on you tube.. he is a professional body builder, and a doctor. Search his video called,' Metabolic Damage'. Such thing does exist, and you need to take action before it becomes worse. Overtime if this continues, even taking in 700calories, you won't see change...I'm sure your goal is to live a lenient life, free to still gorge and eat within 1600-2000 calories a day, because this is normal and possible.

    I find the people on these boards still newbies and uneducated when it comes to the understanding of the bodies cycles and food adaptation. Everyone is just emphasizing the calories in vs calories out, and although this is a very true concept, sudden drop of intake or sudden rise on intake is not how it should be done.

    Search for Layne.

    Good luck,..
