calorie counting explained...increase intensity or duration of exercise or decrease calories swallowed... its just that simple...stop lying to yourself on your food diary or just do a better job weighing and measuring food...dishonest reporting equals inaccurate reports...this stuff takes integrity (doing whats right when no one is looking) Find your integrity.
....what benefit would i have from lying to myself? i measure every single thing that i eat. there is NO reason that i shouldn't be truthful on my food log, that's just pointless lol.
nevermind lying to me...i know people that lie to them selves...thats no good0 -
Oh and I don’t know if you drink at all but stay away from alcohol. Its phenomenal how many ways it can screw up a diet.
i've actually quit drinking since I started, which is probably my best/most proud moment thus far
Haven't had a drop since June 7th! 0 -
Possibilities:
1) you don't train HARD enough
2) your over estimating your calories consumed
3) your over estimating amount of calories burnt during exercise
I looked at your diary, you eat pretty good. Perhaps your just lying to yourself about the foods you eat. Only you know the truth, if you truly ate what you were logging and exercised daily then you would lose weight, but since your not, maybe you are just lying to yourself. I'm not picking on you, Just stating a possible scenario.0 -

if i lied to myself, that's just like making an excuse. no excuses here!0 -
What I mean is that you can set your activity level as sedentary, moderate, active, or very active, You may have yours set too high. Not to mention, you could have some water weight, or pardon my frankness, but you could just need to take a good dump.0

We all know people that make excuses...you might be one of them...not being mean, just saying...0 -

i'm not lying. lying serves no purpose. if i wanted to lie to myself, i wouldn't even do the journal lol.0 -

okay. that's all well in good. but i've said 3 times that i'm not lying, i have NO reason to lie. it's idiotic to even think that lying in such a case is beneficial.
you can believe me or not. if you don't, feel free to not browse this thread.
this is motivation & support not "witch hunt".0 -

Cant argue with results...44lbs in 48 days...im not wrong about this...44 lbs in 48 days0 -
Stop adding your calories in from exercise. You aren't a professional athlete. The amounts of calories that this site gives you for exercise is way off for the most part. Not eating those few hundred calories it says you burned won't kill you. You just have to burn more calories than you eat. It is that simple. I often tell people that say you aren't eating enough and you will gain weight, tell that to some poor unfortunate person in the third world and have them buy that from you.0

Wow, you sound like me talking...great job understanding how this works...the people that are, "stuck"/not seeing results need to exercise more or not eat so many calories, (assuming their goal is to lose weight).0 -

but you're wrong about me lying. that's like me saying you're lying to yourself and didn't actually lose 44 lbs in 48 days, you're making it up. doesn't feel good, does it?0 -

even if i don't add the calories from my exercise, i'm still UNDER what MFP tells me i need to eat to lose 2 lbs a week. and again, that's BEFORE i add in the exercise.
that's why i'm just confused on what i'm doing so wrong haha.0 -

It's not magical, it's math. Like 6th grade math. I swear im not trying to be nasty, i'm just giving you the best advice i can.
if you still dont get it then refer to my first statement, "calorie counting explained...increase intensity or duration of exercise or decrease calories swallowed... its just that simple"0 -
Take 500 calories from your basal metabolic rate and you will lose two pounds a week.0

Yes, reduce calories, that would help!0 -
How about you look at your results again? 7 pounds this month, 15 pounds the month before. I'm very very jealous. I've lost 6 pounds in 2 months with eating healthy (and the correct amount of calories) and working out. Seriously, 7 pounds in 1 month is GREAT progress and a fantastic result.0

It really is a good result.0 -
This poor guy is new to this, asking for advice, and you guys are calling him a liar and confusing the crap out of him. Brooshie just follow what MFP tells you to do, log everything, and keep doing what you've been doing. One of these people said you might just have to go to the bathroom, they might be right. It really can be that simple.0

Take 500 calories from your basal metabolic rate and you will lose two pounds a week.
okay let me explain this a bit more thoroughly.
I am 6'1, 210 lbs @ 23 years old.
If I said I did NO EXERCISE, my TDEE would be 2573. Since July 1st, I have been eating UNDER 1500 calories EVERY SINGLE DAY. that alone should be 2 lbs. a week.
that DOES NOT include exercising.
Now, lets change it "moderate exercising" (which is what I do) and it ends up being 3350. and yet, i still eat 1500 or LESS a day. and i'm still gaining weight on weeks.0 -

Lol @ eating 1500 calories @ 200+ pound bodyweight. What are you, a 15 year old girl? Seriously dude, eat more food. It's no wonder you're not losing weight. I can lose weight consistently @ 215lbs with 2500-2700 calories a day. I could probably even go up some more and be fine.0 -
Did anyone mention that the weight might be added muscle from your workouts? How does your clothing fit? I get that seeing the scale go up instead of down is frustrating, but, maybe you aren't doing anything wrong at all.
And I agree with what others have said about your progress being better than average so far, so give yourself credit for that!0 -

i'm eating when i'm hungry. when i'm not hungry, i don't eat. know what i mean? and as i stated, i'll be increasing my intake starting Sunday, but i'll be forcing myself to eat more.0 -

What a terrible way to diet. Learn from this and keep moving forward. Eat more protein and start lifting weights. Cardio isn't necessary unless you're doing it for cardiovascular reasons.0 -

yeah, your progress is likely above average...and your body composition might be improving with no change to overall body weight...but because you are so fixated on the lose of weight i must refer you to my orginal statement...

You're telling him to eat below his BMR?
You must be trolling. You simply cannot be that dumb.0 -

If he's eating less than 1500 calories a day, even with noob gains, he wouldn't gain a single pound of muscle. People who are new to lifting should take full advantage of the muscle gain/fat loss period one can obtain when first introducing the body to resistance training. IMO dieting without lifting is retarded. You'll still look terrible.0 -

i'm eating more protein than MFP suggests already, and i'm trying to do some weight lifting. also, i started the 100 push up challenge as well as the 200 situp challenge this month so i'm hoping to get some results from there.
i guess all i can really say is that i'm honestly trying, and i'm not lying to myself or anyone else. i just wish people believed me that i'm just a newbie at this and i want to learn.0 -
