Keep reading the thread. It's changed since the first page.

Forget baby fever, I'm having major puppy fever.

I haven't seen anyone mention using a graduated cylinder or pipette to get the accurate volume before weighing. So I'm on the fence.

I was teaching a general chemistry class and just saw this thread. I missed the chance to explain density. I feel cheated.

Mine disappeared for about 3 weeks three months ago, then came once a month for three months. And then came two weeks early, which just ended, and I'm holding my breath to see if it comes back next week when it's actually scheduled. I don't know the cause, as I'm definitely eating enough calories, but it's driving me…

If that answer means that you weren't weighing your food, then I have to agree that you weren't eating at a deficit. Eating at a deficit causes weight loss.

2 weeks ago, you lost 4lbs. You said you're expecting 1lbs/week loss. That sets you up for a few weeks without a loss on the scale, theoretically. I find that anytime I have a big, unexpected loss, I stall for a few weeks. And then I have another big loss and stall for a few more weeks.

I don't really have a timeframe for the first 30lbs, as I had lost more and gained some of it back. But since May 2016, I've lost another 40lbs. I started with 200lbs to lose, though, so my losses are naturally going to be bigger.

My favourite go-to snack is a mini-bag of popcorn. The one I eat is 100kcal per bag, and it's a nice sized bag. Lots of munching for 100kcal.

My only exercise is walking, I've lost nearly 70lbs by tracking my intake and walking. Calorie counting is the most important part of the equation, though.

I tracked my data for around three months upon getting my Fitbit, I lost 1lb more than the numbers predicted that I should have lost during that time. So my Fitbit is completely spot on. I believe the discrepancy is probably because I have my height set 3 inches below my actual height, as a slight calorie cushion.

I don't have an explanation for the sudden weight loss, but man those puppies are absolutely adorable.

I deal with cravings by eating the thing I'm craving. I wanted ice cream today, so I pre-logged it and made it fit into my day. From what I've experienced, denying myself of something for long just leads to binge eating it later.

I bought a $200 pair of Brooks running shoes a week or two ago, because of chronic heel pain from a serious case of plantar fasciitis. The shoes help a lot, but if you have other symptoms of PF, you might want to get that checked out. I waited too long, and am now facing surgery soon.

I'm not Aaron_k123, but I know my way around a scientific article. I appreciate you trying to learn more about the matter before making decisions. I'm curious as to your questions, though. Everything in that link states that there's no harm to aspartame. Was there a particular section in which you didn't feel comfortable…

If you work 10 hours of manual labour, and only sit for two hours out of the day, you're much more than slightly active. I'd suggest upping it.

What's your activity level set to? You should probably have it set to Active, or Very Active.

Multiple biologists and chemists have weighed into this thread with factual science. We don't have to go off of hearsay, we have scientific facts to back up the knowledge that aspartame is not dangerous.

Are you exercising? If so, are you eating those calories back? Is the 3lbs/week consistent, and how long have you been losing at that rate?

If you were eating 1500kcal/day, without extra kcal on the weekends, and losing ~2lbs/week, your TDEE was around 2500kcal/day.

Seconding this. I use a Fitbit One and can eat back 100% of the extra calories it gives me and lose according to plan. Most of my steps aren't "purposeful exercise".

Science is behind schedule. Blame it on the grad students.

Recomposition. Body decomposition probably isn't something you would want on your work PC's internet search history.

I don't have to do this challenge, I already know what would happen after day 21. I would eat everything on this list in vast quantities and gain several pounds within a week.

I'm a 6'0", 300lb female and I'm only given 1700kcal on the days I don't exercise (2lb/week loss). Are you sure you set up your goals right?

I generally eat a really big breakfast, a smaller lunch, and leave a good half of my day's calories for a huge dinner and nighttime snack.

Eating at night is not bad for you, unless it makes you sick or if you go over calories. Keep some calories saved for a nighttime snack, and you should be fine.

Longing. Rusted. Seventeen. Daybreak. Furnace. Nine. Benign. Homecoming. One. Freight car. (I don't understand what the OP is saying, so it's worth a shot, right?)

If you're not consistently under, I'd say don't worry about a day of not hitting your goal. You'll probably make up for it later in the week (that's what seems to happen when I have a day under goal, anyway).

Thank you for sharing these pictures, you're absolutely amazing. I'm a little taller than you, two or three years younger, and started out close to the same weight (368lbs). I've lost only ~70lbs so far, so I still have a long way to go, but reading your post makes me feel a lot better. I've known for years I would have a…
