in Health and Weight Loss
I have been on and off this platform for several years. As data system, I find it very effective but, most importantly, keeps me stay focused. I gain lots of information about my nutrition and choices (good and bad), and I use this data to make better educated decisions. Some of these changes are clear and easy to work on, but others are a regular struggle. My weight has stayed the same and only fluctuates very little. This is disappointment but one that I am trying to figure out. I am more motivated than I have in a long time. This is exciting to me as I return to my health, care, and wellbeing. I have passion and patience.

Now I need some support from this community so that I can learn how to troubleshoot using myfitnesspal, nutrition, workouts and mobility. I am favorable to positive changes, and I keep a positive outlook on things. I want to continue practicing my nutrition and work goals.

    What kind of troubleshooting help do you need?

    If you’re asking why your weight hasn’t changed, we would need some more information:

    How tall are you?
    What is your current weight?
    What is your goal weight?
    What pace of weight loss did you select?
    How long has it been since your weight has changed at all?
    How many calories are you eating?
    Do you weigh all solid food using a food scale?
    Do you exercise, and if so, how long have you been doing that exercise? How do you calculate exercise calories? What proportion of them do you eat back?

    I found that when actually broke down and measured my portions I was SHOCKED at how small serving sizes were. Maybe weingnout some of your more often eaten meals and saving them for quick adds might be of help.

    I have also found it helpful to break the day down into sections...I have 400-450 calories for my late breakfast/lunch, 600-700 for dinner, and then a couple hundred calories for a small snack before bed. More importantly, I have a stockpile of breakfast/lunch recipes that are 400-450 calories and the same for dinner. That way I am not constantly banging my head against a wall after eating what I wanted and then trying to squeeze something in last minute.

    I guess what I am saying is that measuring/weighing, and having a well thought out game plan (even pre-logging it so I have something to follow) made all the difference for me.
