Have you had your thyroid checked?

I would agree you are drinking way to much water, you are drinkg 200 oz. a day, I have read a good rule of thumb is drinking half your weight in water, for you that would be about 90 oz, you are drinking twice as much as you need to and if you are drinking a lot all at once it can actually be dangerous. Cut you water in take by about half.

i'm 55
well i actually measured what one cup is. and a glass of water in my house is equivalent to 2 cups of water. so i had like 15 or more glasses of water. my weight is always like this it goes to 160-170... its so stupid. any tips? i try and stay to 1200

i don't think i have a thyroid problem

1200 calories is not nearly enough for a man.

Do what MFP tells you to do for 3 weeks - including eating your exercise calories - then tell us if it isn't working.

It's also possible that you ate too little calories sometimes before and your metabolism got slow and now when you eat more calories, you body tries to restore all the fat. No worries, it will get usedt to current situation and you'll see results.

Some other causes might be:
- you have forgot to write down ALL the snacks - be very strict in this!
- underestimating portion sizes makes you think you eat less than yo actually do: cheap kitchen scale is great teacher of right sizes!
- overestimating exercise calories; HRM gives you closest numbers (Polar has proved to be best) to your own weight, height, age, fitness level etc
- you haven't been eating your exercise calories and your body needs more fuel to function well and not trying to store all the fat
- drinking lot of water and eating salty food makes too much water restore; try avoid salt and drink just 8-10 cups water per day for awhile

Good luck in your learning journey! All the challenges you'll get are a great possibilities to learn more how to treat and nurture yourself better!!! :-)))

First of all, work out what your maintenance intake would be - eating anything less than this counts as deficit (ie, if maintenance is 2000, 1200 gives you a deficit of 800, that's a hell of a lot. I've been losing steadily on a deficit of 200).

Second of all, make friends with exercise. If you do something like the 30 day shred, you can build muscle tone (which will in turn help you burn more energy on a day by day basis), something like Turbofire will get you burning uber amounts of calories.

Third of all, what ever you do, do it for a month. If it causes you to maintain, gain or lose dramatically, reassess as required.

A man should not be eating only 1200 calories. You need to adjust your goals. If you only want to lose 30 pounds, set your weight loss goal to a pound or less a week.

No matter what, it's been two weeks. That's not nearly long enough to judge the program.

i'm on my second of my 30d i started yesterday. if i just want to be skinny? what's the fastest way?

you look pretty skinny to me? maybe just try gaining muscle rather than losing anymore weight.. don't think it would be very healthy...also males need at leas 1500 cals per day

your drinking way to much water, and yes, you can drink to much water. the minimum calories a man should take in is 1500. u may need to reevaluate you goal setting, and increase your exercise.
