Okay, so I have done weekly measurements for the last 4 weeks during Live Fit, and I must say I'm actually a little disappointed - I was hoping to see some downward trend/movement (even if only slightly) but it seems I'm staying the same or even going up in some. I don't do supplements due to IBS issues and I can throw my whole system out of what with one wrong drink, pill, etc.
Per Scooby (height is 5'4, weight is 260, 33 yr old female doing live fit so work outs are minimum 4x a week about to move to 6x) - TDEE is 2904, BMR is 1873 and suggest Macros are set as 40 % Protein, 40% Car, 20%. Daily, I consume anywhere from 2000-2300 calories a day, and net anywhere from 1500-1900 post work out (no I don't always eat them all back, unless I"m below my BMR # because I honestly put on a ton of weight (more then 15lbs and no, it wasn't muscle) over the course of 4-6 MONTHS by eating back all my workout calories, and/or trying to follow the EM2LW, IPOARM motto/creed) I do not eat processed, pre-packaged food, I'm 99% of the time eating a vegetarian diet (will occassionally allow for Chicken/Fish) due to IBS issues, that I cook at home myself so I know what is really going into said foods. Sooooo, I don't understand what is "wrong" here? Your thoughts?? Is this normal?
(****Please note, - I've gone thru all the sticky's, all the notes, all the help I could find about this from EM2LW, IPOARM, and so on, so forth - done all the things suggested including a reset and such, I'm just honestly stumped here as this stagnant trend of going no where that has been on going for 245 days here on MFP. Am I just destined to not lose fat?!?! LOL***)

I am certainly not an expert however, I have read blogs before I started the workout and in 2 of them (there wasn't a whole lot that I found) said that they felt "huge" until Phase 3. In Phases 1-2 you are building muscle so it is totally possible that is what is going on. I have gained some LBS but I'm not too upset because I am starting to SEE some muscle and it makes me want to challenge myself to lift even heavier! In phase 3 is when we are shredding the fat! If you feel comfortable I'd say just keep plugging through!0

Shae, sorry that it has been a rough go for you. I also have IBS really bad. I understand the frustrations with getting sick all the time.
I am not sure why you are not seeing results. You are amazing at tracking everything so well. I feel like lately I have been so into wanting to lose my last 5 pounds that I just obsess over it all. I actually have gained back 4 pounds and wasn't eating well at all for 2 weeks when I was sick. I have just told myself that I am going to relax and just enjoy working out everyday and try to get in all my water and make healthy eating choices. That's when I was losing weight at the beginning when I didn't stress out about the weight or inches and drank tons of water.0
