    Wrong you are starving yourself if what you are saying is true.

    But then, you aren't logging everything so nobody will actually be able to help you properly without full information.

    Once you're tracking honestly, and fully, and not hours and hours after eating it, you will be able to get some help.

    You've already had tests done so there is nothing medically wrong so that can only lead me to conclude that you're eating way more than you're tracking and / or doing way less activity than you think. Study after study after study has proven people consistently underestimate what they eat and overestimate how active they are.

    So if on one day I eat something and count all the calories through out the day and then the next have the exact same thing(same portions) I'm magically eating way too much?

    A little update for everyone, just weighted in after what I thought to be a great bowel movement and logged my weight to see a 2.5kg loss since the 28th of April.

    And as far as overestimating active and underestimating eating, my activity level is set to the lowest on MFP (which on most days is accurate). And to answer the 'underestimated eating': my previous journey to losing weight (that I did last year) didn't involve apps like MFP to track what I was eating and by just eyeing stuff out, I lost a total of 15-20kg.

    I hope you aren't seeing my response as some sort of hostile argument towards you, I just wanted to clear some things up.

    I'm usually at 2.5 litres per day, I had a rather large blood test a month ago that checked me out for a lot of stuff including diabetes and my thyroid levels...sadly (in this case when it comes to thyroids), everything is as it should be in a healthy person.

    As someone with hypothyroidism I can tell you it is a good thing you don't have thyroid problems. Euthyroid (normal thyroid function) overweight or obese people seem to hope that this is their answer and it will be easy, just pop a pill and the weight comes off but reality is, its not. When hypo you have to work even harder to lose the weight you've gained even when properly medicated and that is not even talking about all the other associated problems.

    I'm glad you started losing now just keep doing what you are doing. If you get a stall/plateau just tighten up the logging and I'm sure you will reach your goal.

    Thank you for that information! A part of me was hoping that I had the issue when I first rapidly gained the weight back from my first journey as I didn't want to believe how badly some of my issues let me go on the diet but I'm back on the grind and planning to stay.

    I'm changing jobs because it has been stressing me out a lot, that caused me to slack off on the gym part of losing weight. Once I leave (in two weeks) I'll have more time to dedicate to my own body and you'll see me updating you guys as a shred through my weight
