    Magerum, no answer on the height and weight and amount of calories you eat yet? Maybe you should go onto the scooby site and work out what your tdee is, and then go from there? Or at least stop eating 1300 calories in girl guide cookies and just eat back half of your exercise calories.....

    After a winter of pure gluttony I decided it was time to get on track. I have been in a deficit and working out daily for two weeks. I have gained 2 pounds! Clearly the whole calorie in / calorie out model doesn't work for me. Seriously demotivating.

    Yeah... you're not doing it right.

    Realign your expectations and realize *kitten* doesn't happen over night. If you worked harder at work for 2 weeks would you expect a raise at the end of those 2 weeks? He might notice and give you a pat on the back (loss of a couple of lbs) but he's not going to give you more money after 2 weeks. You have to work your *kitten* off for a year or longer until all that hard work pays off and he calls you into his office and goes "Thompson I wanna make you my partner" BOOOOM KAPPPOWWW those YEARS of hard work paid of ... not the first 2 weeks!! Keep your head up bud and keep putting in the work, eventually it will pay off.

    Brad

    Wait, are you talking to Thompson or Brad?

    I assumed it was Brad Thompson.

    This makes sense!! Ty!!

    That's quite a lot of calories for weight loss, given your stats. How did you come by that number? What are you doing for exercise?

    Uhm, actually. . . it's as valid a suggestion as any other.

    That still sounds like a lot of calories to me. I'm 5'9 and started at 227lbs, and there is NO way I would have lost weihgt on 3000 calories. If you gained, you are eating too much.....Cut down on calories.

    Wrong, he's eating too little and storing fat. He needs to eat more to burn the fat.

    No offense, but have you had your thyroid checked?

    I've lost 1.5 lbs. in 2 DAYS of accurate logging. Clearly your numbers must be off somewhere.
    There's no way you lost 1.5 pounds of fat in 2 days. It's water weight or natural fluctuations (or both).

    Did she SAY it was pounds of fat?

    NO, I most clearly did NOT. I know that usually when you start a new diet, you lose a lot of waterweight at first. That he GAINED must mean that he probably lost water and gained a lot of fat. Like, 5 lbs. rather than the 2 on the scale.
    Not everyone loses water weight at first. Like I said and other people have said, your weight naturally fluctuates, often from hour to hour. Until you have data points across a longer period of time than 2 days or even 2 weeks, you can't draw any meaningful conclusions.

    Oh, so I DID lose 1.5 pounds of fat.

    In two days? No.

    This was a really rude response. This is a place of motivation and support. Please refer to USCMP's Guide To Being A Better Person Than Everyone Else.

    Maybe relevant to your interests, but not to reality. ;)

    LOL, none taken, seeing as I lost 58lbs eating 1800 calories a day, with a bit more on exercise days.... And yep, I had my thyroid checked, nothing wrong....

    The OP eats 1300 cals in cookies, plus 1700 more in food..... The "average women" MAINTAINS on 2000 -2400 per day, no idea how the OP thinks she will lose on 3000+...
    But thanks for asking about my thyroid!

    But he burned 1300 using the elliptical? So, 1800 + 1300 = 3,100.

    Oh, maybe he IS undereating.

    You might be right about the cookies, though, that's an awful lot of sugar.

    That's a good point, you can't lose weight while eating sugar.
