Only if OP wants their hair to fall out. OP, I second the others who are saying to find something that uses maybe an hour, and use the rest of that time for other productive things. Studying, volunteering, resting, working, etc.

She's not "generating muscle" from two weeks of yoga while eating at a deficit. And there's nothing wrong with weighing daily. If you get used to the fluctuations, I find it more comforting as your once-a-week weigh in might be on a randomly high or low day. OP, give it more time. And get used to seeing fluctuations, as…

No, there is no scientific evidence that diet sodas lead to weight gain. Weight gain is caused by a surplus of calories, and diet soda has none, so it's impossible to gain weight from them. Some people say that the weight gain comes from people choosing larger meals or eating more since they're drinking diet soda and feel…

I didn't think I had to spell this out, but okay: Eating more calories than you were previously eating will not lead to losing more weight than you were previously losing, without changing other factors. That statement was not aimed at the OP, who didn't make such a claim. I'm absolutely thrilled for the OP, I'm glad…

I prefer to believe science. And science says that Diet Coke does not contribute to weight gain.

Eating more and losing more doesn't just go against dietary advice. It goes against thermodynamics. Scientific facts aren't opinions, they're facts.

I'd say give it a little longer. I lost nearly 7lbs last week, and haven't lost in almost a week now. It should even out. If you start feeling lightheaded or develop headaches, or whatever your usual signs of under eating are, I'd immediately start eating more. Otherwise, imo, give it a few weeks.

I have a shirt I want to wear on November 7th, and it's snug right now because that brand runs smaller than what I'm used to. So I'm trying to work extra hard to fit into that shirt by then. If I don't, no biggie, but it'd be nice.

I eat some type of "junk food" everyday, usually chips. I just fit it in my calorie goal. I've lost almost 70lbs doing that, and I don't plan on changing because it's sustainable.

If you only have 6lbs to lose, you should probably forget about "fast". Aim for a 0.5lbs loss per week.

Nothing wrong with fast food for breakfast, just stay in your calorie goal. However, you could get a lot more food for less calories if you wanted to make breakfast yourself.

Let me add that if you just upped your activity, you're also probably retaining water that masks weight loss.

My advice depends on the length of your plateau. Has it been less than a month? Keep logging accurately and give it time. My last stall lasted 3 weeks, and then I dropped around 10lbs in two weeks. If it's longer than a month, it's probably time to check what you're doing wrong. Log more accurately if you've let that…

Give it longer than 2 weeks. If you've got 100+ lbs to lose, it's going to take a while. Quitting is only going to cause you to gain more, and give you even more to lose. Quitting will serve you no purpose, I know from experience. As far as your daily calorie goal, eat whatever MyFitnessPal gives you when you put in your…

I go over probably 3 or 4 days a week. But I also go under 3 or 4 days per week. I try to keep my weekly deficit, not worrying so much about the daily deficit.

I have severe PF, iceing my feet and stretching don't help them. I have to get cortisone shots, I take prescription NSAIDS, and my podiatrist believes my ligaments are going to tear soon before I have time to schedule a surgery. Get good orthotics, new tennis shoes with midsole support and good cushioning (I wear Brooks),…

Exactly the same for me. Four months of using my Fitbit, since my activity level varies by day, and I lose exactly as I'm supposed to while eating back all of my Fitbit-added calories.

I wouldn't compare weights from two different scales, unless I was absolutely sure they were calibrated the same.

HW: 368 CW: 300 GW: 168 Feel free to add me!

I eat whatever I want, as long as it fits into my calorie goal. So, I don't consider eating sweets to be cheating. That said, every now and then I have a day where I eat at maintenance because I'm at a high deficit and after a few weeks of it, my hunger levels seem to skyrocket.

My hormones go absolutely crazy when I start losing weight. Back in May, when I started strictly counting calories and walking, I went a month and a half without a period. Then I had two normal ones, roughly a month between each, and suddenly today my period started up again less than two weeks after the last one ended. So…

To lose weight and get stronger/healthier. Also to throw chemistry at every thread someone starts about how aspartame is dangerous.

I'm going to have to disagree with this post. I'm "significantly overweight", and when I don't eat back my exercise calories given to me by my Fitbit, I get lightheaded and dizzy, as well as keep a constant headache. When a person, even with 130lbs to lose like I have, eats at a constant 1000kcal deficit, adding another…

I'm not arguing with you over the rest of your post, because you're set in your opinion, but I have to take issue with this statement. Maybe the science field you're in doesn't require calibrated instruments, but chemistry is another ballgame. Our instruments are constantly calibrated, as publishable data is often tested…

Weight fluctuates due to water, food waste, etc. What you eat today may have no bearing on your weight tomorrow. The long-term trend is what matters.

You can keep repeating yourself over and over all you want, I stand by what I said. Having a precise scale matters to me. If I normally weigh 128 and step on the scale and it says 142, so I get off and try again and it says 136, try again and it says 133? That's a problem. Plotting the numbers to cancel noise isn't going…

That's your opinion, though I feel that precision matters more than accuracy when it comes to scales. I understand how signal and noise works. But I still prefer to have a scale that gives me precise measurements, where I'm not filtering out noise from the number moving around every time I step on it.

Sure thing, here is a link: https://www.amazon.com/Healthometer-402KL-Physician-Scale-Height/dp/B0009MFUZY/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8 I bought mine 3 years ago, not 2 like I thought. I didn't realise it had been so long until I pulled up my order on Amazon.

I've had both, and I don't notice any inconsistencies. But, I also make sure it's balanced on zero. I can get on/off the scale multiple times and the readings are precise.

I eat out two or three times a week, one of those meals is always Chick-fil-A. I still lose around 2lbs/week, because I eat less the rest of the day so I can have a big burger and fries.
