Hello
saw your question..
but you didnt list what it is you are doing to know what or where to take corrective steps..
Do you have your protein number calculated(Pn#)? its the baseline biometric of your metabolic need and Mother Natures metabolic Master Key which gives you access to your hormone control roon
Do you know the food frequency you need to advance a metabolic shift..?
You are perhasp sticking to a diary but have you created a food energy plan?

Im wanting to know the best food ideas for taste and protein without too many calories I would love some suggestions I am having a hard time giving up food! But I am so incredibly overweight. I have to change0

A few years ago I lost 60 lbs and kept it off for two years, then gained 40 of it back when I developed a medical problem. I didn't have myfitnesspal back then, but *the thing I found most effective in losing the weight was accurately recording everything I ate*. You'll find a ton of people on this site who will say the same thing--the biggest success tool is keeping a record.
Back then I had to look everything up by hand, and do my own math keeping up with how many carbs I had eaten and how many I had left for the day's budget. (low carb diets work better for me than straight calorie counting, but everyone is different on that score). I also couldn't easily estimate how many calories my exercise routine was burning, so although I exercised it was hard to know what role exercise was playing.
If you don't have a food scale, get one, it's really helpful and worth the cost.
My suggestion is you just track what you eat without changing any habits for a week. That will give you a handle on what areas of your diet might be easily targeted for cuts. Read some diet books and choose a diet approach that you think will work for you and that is compatible with any medical issues you might have (eg: diabetes, PCOS) --calorie counting, low fat, low carb, vegan...
I find carb restriction works well for me. Apparently *my* body has a hard time detecting 'full' using sugars, but detects "full" easily from fats. So when I eat low carb, unrestricted (but not high) fat, I spontaneously eat less without feeling hungry. When I try a low-fat diet I'm ravenous all the time and can't stay on it because it requires too much will-power. Some people feel full on sugars. Some feel full on fiber. Fat works for me. You'll have to experiment to find what works best for you.
Regarding exercise: aerobic exercise will burn fat. Weight training will build muscle mass which helps you burn fat even at rest, and also gives your body a good shape so when the fat comes off you look sexy not starved. Both of them can be logged here.
If you have a smart phone, there are several free applications that will talk to myfitnesspal that use the GPS in your phone to track your walking, running, or hiking exercises, without the need to buy any additional stuff. This gives you more calories to eat within your day's calorie budget, and using an ap to track it gives better accuracy than if you try to estimate it yourself. Once you authorize the app to communicate with myfitnesspal, your record at myfitnesspal will automatically update when you do something using the other app. Make sure to log all your exercise to get 'credit' for the calories you've burned.
I use runkeeper to track my aerobic exercise. There are several others, but I found some (Nike, for example) with overly aggressive privacy policies that too readily sell your personal info.
Use target heart rate to gauge the intensity of your aerobic exercise. You don't have to buy anything to use target heart rate--all you need is a watch and you can take your heart rate manually. Gizmos are more convenient thoughl. If you don't know what "target heart rate" is, web search "target heart rate".
I bought a heart rate monitor from Wahoo but am having trouble with the signal strength and data dropout, so may return it if I can't sort it out. Might just be a bad unit not the product in general. The heart-rate monitor talks to runkeeper and to the wahoo app. The apps then talk to myfitnesspal and automatically update the exercise record here.
The Wahoo company website has an excellent set of articles on target heart rate that are not annoyingly 'salesy' for their products and are detailed enough to be useful even if you are not using a heart rate monitor and are tracking heart rate manually.
Summary: When in doubt, record it.
1. track what you do now so you can identify what has to change
2. buy a food scale
3. pick a diet approach (calories, carbs, fats...)
4. track your food intake
5. use target heart rate to gauge your aerobic exercise intensity
6. track your exercise, both aerobic and weight training.0 -
Joanne, given that you just joined this site, we cannot really give you any advice on why you are not losing weight.
For now, you should have MFP set to 0.5 to 1.0 pounds loss a week MAX. Should focus more towards 0.5 pounds.
When MFP asks for activity level, make sure that level is your normal day to day activity, NOT your exercise.
From there, log religiously and accurately, eating back only half your exercise calories.
Try that out for a month and then assess your situation again.0 -

Protein sources have few calories. A 6oz lean steak with 2 cups of broccoli and 5 bowls of raw spinach comes in under 500 calories easily.
If you want some specific suggestions, make a thread in the food section of the forums.0 -
Have a look at this. This may help you Also if you give some more specific information about what you're doing calories, goals etc and if we could see your diary we could give more specific advice. The link below is a good start

You say you are incredibly overweight but on your profile it says you want to lose 20lbs. Is this a short term/interim goal or the total amount you need to lose? There are plenty of recipes for healthy, low cal dishes, it all depends on your tastes. I'm 22lbs into an almost 140lb journey and have no intention of giving up food and haven't so far.Im wanting to know the best food ideas for taste and protein without too many calories I would love some suggestions I am having a hard time giving up food!

I second this advice.
If you are not happy with the calorie range MFP recommends, you could have your basal metabolic rate measured to see which category is best for you. Some gyms offer basal metabolic rate measurements for a fee. Mine measures at around 1800 calories a day. So I picked the target category that includes teachers rather than office workers--this gives me a baseline calorie allowance of around 1500--which is 15-20% below my measured metabolism--the range recommended for calorie-cutting based on metabolic rate.0 -

Hello My name is Dances with Wow..
best food ideas for tastes.. comes with practice preparing recipes routinely and taking notice of what great recipes that are out there in which case there are bazillion..
If you would like a sheet that breaks foods up in to nutrient densities as well as into categories that create a learning relationship with your hormones..
friend me..and I can be sure you receive resources that will fuel indomitable life force..
Your entire task wth weight loss is to teach your body how to deweaponize hormones that trigger unwanted body fat.
The hormone in particular is lipolytic enzymes.. these are the only hormone agents of the body that communicates with body fat, translates for unwanted body fat and that can give the order for unwanted body fat with out contempt to stand down..
The information you need I have
will look forward to being a friend
Do not think for a second that counting your calories can beat back this hormonal, genetically imprinted vividly biological fact..

Okay kiddo - read the link FD posted. All that stuff about 'missing pieces of your life force' that the other dude is selling - is to rope you into his business site.
All you need to lose weight and get healthy - is right here on MFP FOR FREE. As a matter of fact - it's inside YOU right now, you just have to find it and use it.
One last thought - it's really not about giving up foods. It's all about learning the self control you need to learn to eat correct portions and not flip out and binge. It takes practice - lots of practice, but once you do that, you can accomplish anything.0 -

Hello,
My name is SonicDeathMonkey and I see you have a problem.
When trying to lose weight, you must weigh your foods and eat at a calorie deficit.
An indomitable battering of protein should do the trick.
And use the Force that is within you to log all foods accurately.
Take cautious strides not to over-count your exercise.
I am SonicDeathMonkey, and your wish is granted.0 -

I agree. The one expense I think is a *need* rather than just "nice to have" would be a kitchen scale so you are accurate about portion size.0 -

this is Awesome....
I love this..
I wish i had a business website to rope some one in.. This demonstrates my point exactly..
Those who are using the basic calorie counting teter totter and possess contained discipline ..Thank goodness your lipolytic enzymes cooperate with recording, counting food deficits and having unleashed barbarian at the gate egos..
GREAT..
Regretably.. the hard pill to swallow..is you can only back your way up by telling some else how hard they have to work.. by using weakness in the end user to convey that you are some how stromg and smart.
The human spirit is strong in guile but weak when it comes dealing with new ways of achieving better.
I am on this forum not to rope a thing.. I am already well past working 9 to 5 hoping that some day my twilight years will be healthy..and full of comfort and joy..
I created my own prosperity and earned through fitness what others can only dream of..
I am here on this forum to complete my work to stare the status quo right in the face an know that..the existing system was from the beginning il conceived, il defined and is not contemporary enough for todays lifestyles..
No body ahs the time or the extra anything to sit around counting every thing put into there mouth hoping for transformation or becoming a slave to the process. The evolution of calories in has not evolved with how humans really work emotionally, how metabolic hormones really work - this is where the counting crowd really screws up - they want to play GOD by thinking if you just count what you eat.. yeah right.., discipline is either contained or uncontained.. its doesnt just get broken in a like a wild mustang.
each of use has a different hierarchy of need calorie counting simply cannot tap. .
Discipline is not a universal trait.. and the egg heads telling people who are in search of it much less those who do care about fitness one stitch, to just stick with it, are simply so in love with themselves they are out just of touch with reality..
So thank you.
I have a message.. and the more the resistance to the obvious.. The stronger I am able to become - thats life force my friend..
I love his graphic..
can I use it.in my speaking gigs..?
it speaks volumes about what needs to be heard..
Two systems to fight unwanted body fat..the one that fails most people doesnt wnat to even consider that theirs cannot stand up to all scrutiny.

I'm really not sure what you are trying to say. However, I do not own this gif, so I have no interest in whether you use it or not. That would be a question for your attorney.0 -
You took the right step signing on here. Be honest with your tracking. It will help you fine tune your diet and exercise and get things moving. When I started I noticed that my sodium was way high and my protein was way low. Also I ate very few fruits and veggies. Start looking at your intact everyday. It's a big help with MFP.0

I didn't give up food. I just shifted my food to healthier items. Although yesterday was full on "4th of July" ahead.0

I agree with other posters, look at serving sizes. I'm excellent at making sure pizza doesn't 'go to waste'. There's a big difference between 'I had pizza for lunch' and eating five slices.
Are you moving? Are you moving more now that you've made this decision to lose weight?
I'm not a workout type of person because I usually tire myself out with the pets. And the major piece of unsolicited advice I rec'd was - no workouts, no wonder you're so big. I now have a fitness wearable, and I'm kicking butt on the 'move' part against other women 40-49 so not all advice is the right solution for everyone. However, I did find the program with my wearable has me looking at the virtual badges and working towards winning them. For example, can I score 1500 points between 4 and 7am? Can I move for five continuous minutes an hour for a minimum of 8 hours in a day?
And yesterday was a perfect example of unexpected results. I had July 4th off of work so I aimed for the 'perfect day' badge and needed to move for 16 hours out of the day, and while doing that I saw it was just a few more points for something else and that kept building throughout the day. On MFP I ended up burning more calories moving then I ate yesterday. This morning's weigh-in showed I gained one pound. LOL0 -

Gotcha..
Again case proven again
If I was a person seeking body composition change for the better I would want to know what isnt fufilling your metabolism right off the bat.
If you have the time to convince yourself that you are eating right.. thats back words.Thats like saying I will keep taking the drivers test knowing you can pass the drivers test..and drive the car.
You know how to turn the steering wheel and keep the car on the road... but that does not mean you can drive a car or metabolism.
You go to a tactical school to improve at being behind the wheel. You dont keep writing down and taking the same drivers test day after day believing you are some how getting better by driving the car and by writing down all the turns you made doing it.
Because it just isnt so...:noway:
You find a speedway and /or a coach that teaches you how to go beyond holding the steering wheel..Your way simply steers the car. with oh by the way I made a right when it should of been a left..Oh shucks my bad I messed up I will just hang a louie in the middle of traffic..and write that down too
Thank you sweet jesus.
Writing every detail in a food diary every turn you make is hind sight to what you need to be doing going forward.
I can care less what you ate yesterday..I want to know how you are going to avoid the food hurdles the next 30 days..what can you plan now to avaoid the problem the next time...
Thats why a food energy plan makes more since
you do it once.. if you eat like crap.. reord the crap.. ake a few adjustment fro tomorrow that are realistic and doable
Move on.. With a food energy nplan can you achieve 100% or will it be 90% sticking to it or in the case of the diary where 50% are simply hanging a louie every time or getting stuck in a ditch..
You need to know whats going on internally ahead of time with your hormones day one
And Disney..who i have worked with in the past is not going give a flying Frozen that I used the image as long as I dont use it for Profit..
Disney wins if I use the graphic for humanitarian things like showing off the fact that you dont want a different opinion that deal with facts to see the light of day.
You can use calories..but what not use something even more effective.. you don't need an outdated, out moded, medically biased scientific study that does nt really solve anything misinterpretation of how metabolism works with hormones to guide discipline, motivation, free will, exercise inducing behavior..will power, achievement, success.
If you have that kind of the time to scribe your possible misadventures of eating to feel good about whats in your mouth.. then why not use that same time to give you your offspring or a complete stranger a lifetime of life force..
It will bring by far greater rewards.. and you will be in shape much faster doing so..
My name is Dances with Wow
I am able to verify validate and authenticate for free..that what I put forth defeats the existing fitness documenting model both in purpose and in prowess.
..Life force is always scary for those who exist frozen by the fact that two metabolic languages can indeed be better than one that cannot adjust to a new or more evolved freedom enjoyed way of thinking0 -
Hi
im new on here too, ive been struggling with my weight for years, ive tried every pill on the market, every shake, diet but I discovered a coffee that has helped me, I was very sceptical at first but I though what can I lose for just £16 and my god its worked for me, I lost 9 pounds in just one week.i was eating a reasonably healthy diet and two cups a coffee a day!,and did no exercise at all which is great for me as I suffer from heart problems, its a miracle.

I am here on this forum to complete my work to stare the status quo right in the face an know that..the existing system was from the beginning il conceived, il defined and is not contemporary enough for todays lifestyles..
No body ahs the time or the extra anything to sit around counting every thing put into there mouth hoping for transformation or becoming a slave to the process. The evolution of calories in has not evolved with how humans really work emotionally, how metabolic hormones really work - this is where the counting crowd really screws up - they want to play GOD by thinking if you just count what you eat.. yeah right.., discipline is either contained or uncontained.. its doesnt just get broken in a like a wild mustang.
each of use has a different hierarchy of need calorie counting simply cannot tap. .
Discipline is not a universal trait.. and the egg heads telling people who are in search of it much less those who do care about fitness one stitch, to just stick with it, are simply so in love with themselves they are out just of touch with reality..
So thank you.
I have a message.. and the more the resistance to the obvious.. The stronger I am able to become - thats life force my friend..
I love his graphic..
can I use it.in my speaking gigs..?
it speaks volumes about what needs to be heard..
Two systems to fight unwanted body fat..the one that fails most people doesnt wnat to even consider that theirs cannot stand up to all scrutiny.
Love it..
Fairly certain Disney will sue you if you try to use that in your "speaking gigs".
Not sure where you get all your information but it's actually pretty easy for people to log what they eat. I do it practically every day. Doesn't take long and I log every single thing I eat. I am not a slave to the process, I want to know what I am eating.
Gotcha..
Again case proven again
If I was a person seeking body composition change for the better I would want to know what isnt fufilling your metabolism right off the bat.
If you have the time to convince yourself that you are eating right.. thats back words.Thats like saying I will keep taking the drivers test knowing you can pass the drivers test..and drive the car.
You know how to turn the steering wheel and keep the car on the road... but that does not mean you can drive a car or metabolism.
You go to a tactical school to improve at being behind the wheel. You dont keep writing down and taking the same drivers test day after day believing you are some how getting better by driving the car and by writing down all the turns you made doing it.
Because it just isnt so...:noway:
You find a speedway and /or a coach that teaches you how to go beyond holding the steering wheel..Your way simply steers the car. with oh by the way I made a right when it should of been a left..Oh shucks my bad I messed up I will just hang a louie in the middle of traffic..and write that down too
Thank you sweet jesus.
Writing every detail in a food diary every turn you make is hind sight to what you need to be doing going forward.
I can care less what you ate yesterday..I want to know how you are going to avoid the food hurdles the next 30 days..what can you plan now to avaoid the problem the next time...
Thats why a food energy plan makes more since
you do it once.. if you eat like crap.. reord the crap.. ake a few adjustment fro tomorrow that are realistic and doable
Move on.. With a food energy nplan can you achieve 100% or will it be 90% sticking to it or in the case of the diary where 50% are simply hanging a louie every time or getting stuck in a ditch..
You need to know whats going on internally ahead of time with your hormones day one
And Disney..who i have worked with in the past is not going give a flying Frozen that I used the image as long as I dont use it for Profit..
Disney wins if I use the graphic for humanitarian things like showing off the fact that you dont want a different opinion that deal with facts to see the light of day.
You can use calories..but what not use something even more effective.. you don't need an outdated, out moded, medically biased scientific study that does nt really solve anything misinterpretation of how metabolism works with hormones to guide discipline, motivation, free will, exercise inducing behavior..will power, achievement, success.
If you have that kind of the time to scribe your possible misadventures of eating to feel good about whats in your mouth.. then why not use that same time to give you your offspring or a complete stranger a lifetime of life force..
It will bring by far greater rewards.. and you will be in shape much faster doing so..

Seriously? I just can't...
Nothing you ever say in a forum makes any sense whatsoever.
I am losing weight just fine thank you....and those aren't kid weights I'm lifting in that photo over there...
Would you just go ahead and violate the TOS on this site and tell everyone what it is you are selling? Please.0 -
The first link below was already posted, but doing so again because it's THAT GOOD. The others are also very useful. My recommendation is to start by reading these threads, they're from folks who have been successful, back up claims with science (yay!) and are generally just awesome.

Once you have that homework done, plug your numbers into MFP, follow the advice in the threads and then see how you go after a month. Still not losing? Then come back with an open diary and some specifics and people will have more data points to review and give guidance. Good luck, OP.0 -

Dear Dances with Wow,
Okay. Here's your chance. Please tell us what we are doing wrong. Show us how to speak both languages of the metabolism. Tell us how we are misinterpreting the way metabolism works with hormones to guide discipline, motivation, free will, exercise inducing behavior, will power, achievement, and success.
Tell me, Dances with Wow - what is life force? How do I get some of that life force? Can you show me how you defeat the existing fitness documenting model both in purpose and in prowess?
Thank you for taking the time to explain this to us..0
