    Also, don't eat right before bed. Your body does not digest food unless you're awake, so going to sleep right after eating means the food undergoes cell division inside your body, and it's like you ate twice as much.
    The chemical compounds in diet soda attach themselves to the cell membrane of fat cells, causing them to be 27%bigger, which then triggers Starvation Mode.

    Thanks for the laughs!

    (Peeps - he's joking.)

    She's not losing weight. That means she's eating too much.
    I don't think I should eat less than 1300 I usually eat 1200 1300 wouldn't be too healthy especially because im breastfeeding

    Congratulations on your new addition to the family. While breastfeeding you shouldn't eat below 1800 calories a day. Breastfeeding burns between 850 and 1000 calories a day. I'd hate for your little one to not get enough nourishment.

    This was me before! After eating well and working out. I GAINED five pounds in the first threes weeks!!!!!!
    Instead if giving up I kept doing it.

    The next week I lost 5 pounds. I then went on to lose 60 pounds in five months.

    Dont give up. Eat healthy, work out. If you are at a calorie deficit you will end up losing weight!

    Sometimes we retain water and crazy stuff......just keep going. It will happen for you!

    OP, it didn't take you 10 days to gain the weight, and it will take more than 10 days to lose it. You need to be patient. This is a journey, not a sprint.

    Nope deff not eating to many calories. My net is 1300 and most of the time I end at 1250 and track every drop of mustard peanut drink that goes into my mouth.
    WTF is a mustard peanut drink?
    Do you have any advice or bored trolling?
    I gave you some advice. Take it or don't. But you may want to loosen up if you're posting on a public message board.

    P.S. I still don't know what a mustard peanut drink is. Anyone?

    I feel fairly certain she's just missing some comma's.... mustard, peanut, drink etc...

    Nope! She confirmed that she mixes ground peanuts with water and mustard. Hey, if she likes it! :-)

    Lifting the baby is whats doing it. Added weight from the new muscles build up. She's losing, but the muscle build up from baby lifting is throwing off the numbers.

    I think either commas or the word "or" were implied: (mustard, peanut, drink that goes into...); (mustard or peanut or drink that goes into ...). Basically saying EVERYTHING is logged.

    One would think, but no, she's confirmed that's an actual drink she makes.

    Not losing weight doesn't always mean you're eating too much. If she's eating too little her body will go into starvation mode and then she won't lose weight either. Everyone is different and you have to figure out what works for you.

    There has to be one at every post... NO..that is not a thing.

    Yup obligatory starvation mode comment and the added bonus of a diet soda has tons of sodium comment.

    It's like MFP Board Bingo!

    OMG there is soooo much bad info on this thread it astounds me! Starvation mode is not a thing, if it was, anorexics wouldn't die. Use some logic. You aren't the only one but this just stuck out and I didn't want to quote all the bad advice given. I'm beginning to think that MFP isn't so great after all. I'm starting to create a spreadsheet of foods I eat, and the proper amounts/calories per serving so I can create my own menu/database and keep accurate track of macros and nutrients as it seems MFP entries are so off.

    You said, "My Tom is due shortly though," - meaning, you're expecting soon? If so, 1300 calories may not be sufficient during pregnancy and most woman gain (without trying) in the last 6 weeks of pregnancy due to the baby's growth - this could explain no weight loss.

    Tom = time of the month. In other words - her period. Meaning no baby.

    I went back and skimmed the thread and OP never mentions that she's pregnant, only breastfeeding. Ofc, I may be confusing the other 16 pregnancy threads with this one.

    I know you probably hear these all the time, but I went from eating so much junk and whatever I wanted probably over 3000 every day to 1300 tracking everything and walking frequently. I was so good this weekend and went for an hour hike each day I was so excited to step on the scale this morning and nothing.. I don't get it especially because I have a lot of weight to loose I thought it would drop a lot quicker.

    I know how you feel, I'm in the same boat. I stopped logging my calories a few days and binged yesterday, I just feel like giving up!! I'm going to push myself to start again tomorrow. Stay strong, you'll get there xxx

    Well yeah, that's what no baby means. She's not pregnant. That's why I said she's not pregnant. Because she never said she was pregnant. The poster above me was saying she was having a little boy named Tom. Tom isn't the baby its her period.

    I have started to see a weight loss doctor who says if you spread it forget it, no oil what so ever, only 1 fruit a day. I can only eat lean protein, green non starchy veggies. I am not allowed to have anything crunchy no cereal or snack like foods. Look at the type of calories you are eating. I am new to this myself, just wanted to offer what I have learned about my eating.

    this is totally ridiculous.

    Focus on process goals, not outcome goals.

    Learn to find joy in the process.

    If you depend on a number on the scale to be the determining factor in if you are making progress or not, you're gonna have a bad time.

    On another note, you might find this interesting. http://leanmuscleproject.com/how-whooshes-impact-your-weight-loss/

    I don't have a scale. I measure everything I eat. When my cereal says 1 cup I use one cup. When all my chicken calories is already stated per chicken breast so I use that. I measure my oatmeal. I eat the amount of peanuts it says for calories, I have Annie's gluten free granola bars and Lara bars as a lunch or breakfast which states the calories and usually always chicken wrap chicken salad chicken on a flat out or Turkey burger for dinner

    Are you drinking diet soda or flavored waters that have a lot of sodium? I drank so much water this last week I felt like I was trying to drown my internal organs. Drinking water really does make a difference, it's especially noticeable in the beginning.

    Snh. Diet sodas and flavoured waters do NOT have a lot of sodium in them.
    no but I do drink a sugar free monster every morning but I'm always still under my sodium. The rest of the day I drink water
