In need of help!

What! If you got to be rude don't post on here. Thank you!

Exactly how was her post rude??? You asked for an explanation of why you might not be losing weight. She gave it to you - politely, I might add.

Tracking consistently can be a HUGE factor in losing weight. You said yourself that you were losing weight when you were logging, ergo, log and you might have some more luck.

I opened it but just started back logging.

^That's your problem.

Keep logging everything. Most people really underestimate what they are actually eating if they aren't logging.

This.

The poster wasn't being rude by what they posted... they were giving proper advice.

If you aren't actually tracking, measuring, etc that you really don't know how much you are eating. It's nearly impossible to know.

Also, what worked in the past may not help you now. You need to track to know what you are eating, how much you are eating. Both for weight loss as well as something to look back on if you think you are suffering from any food related medical issues (sensitivities for example).

When you have logged (I'm going based on the past two days) you haven't eaten even your daily goal.. let alone netting it. When you log your food don't use the generic or the homemade entries. You don't know how much of each ingredient the person who entered it used. You don't know if you used the same ingredients, same amounts, same brands, etc. Always use your own recipes for things when needed... double check the information from the package. Pay attention to portion sizes (a small carton of milk for example is two portions... most will not drink half and save half...same for a lot of bottles of pop, coffee drinks, smaller bags of chips, etc). Are you weighing all solids? Measuring all liquids? Or are you guessing/eyeballing it? Often we think a serving is larger than it really should be.

Add sodium to your tracker. The processed foods you eat will contain a lot of it.

Also, increase your protein. You need more than what you are consuming to protect your muscles and help them repair themselves. The setting on this site is far too low.

Are you now tracking everything you consume? That lick of peanut butter from the knife... the sugar in teas/coffees, the sauces on foods, oils/butter/margarine used, dressings, etc? The little things add up. Track everything you do, exercise (change your exercise every few weeks) for a month and see what results you get. You need to be consistant.

This is one of the smartest people on MFP. She has given really good advice to me and countless others about getting real with your diet and lifting. Not a thing rude about what she posted to you. :noway:

"Thats your fault" sounded a bit rude to me. Thankx for the info but I hadn't had a computer for a while to check in. This site is a great tool thats why I got back on as soon as I got my hands on a computer. I will take all in consideration.

Read it again.

I said "There's your problem."

Stress is one of the biggest barriers to getting fit It's more important to stay stress free and get a lot of rest than almost anything else you'll do.

Who was rude? I didnt see anyone being rude to you. Stop being so sensitive, if you dont want anyone's opinions or advice then dont post here.

funny how she never replied to anyone, removed her profile pic and made her account private
