Are you weighing everything you eat and logging accurately? Because if you are, you're eating much too little. Also, weight gain (water retention) at different times in your cycle is normal.

I agree with the roast veggies. I prefer my biggest meal to be at night, so I usually bring a big batch of veggies and some form of meat for lunch every day. Today is a massive amount of mini carrots that I cooked with onion, and some chicken that I cut into strips and sautéed with onion, bell pepper, and a tiny bit of oil.

So? One week of doing that is extremely unhealthy, much less 90 days.

You would have lost about triple that amount if you really only ate 3 eggs a day and exercised for 4 hours every day. Neither of which are healthy. Please don't promote unsafe weight loss on this site.

Be careful with the jumping exercises. I started doing 30 Day Shred with 200lbs to lose, and my knees creak and pop now. It may not happen to everyone, but just an FYI.

I usually see my lowest weight for the month during my period. I hold steady (water weight) for the first few days, then by the fifth or sixth day I show a big loss. I tend to "gain" during ovulation.

No one's words have been harsh in this thread. They're trying to help stop a person from doing lasting damage to their health.

I'm 27, 6'0", and 296lbs. My calorie goal for sedentary is 1680 to lose 2lbs a week. I agree that that calorie goal sounds about right, though I supplement mine by walking so I get to eat more. Just be sure you're logging all of your food as accurately as you can.

Finally, my time to shine. I knew this education would be good for something one day. There's nothing wrong with the things you've named (Aspartame, etc), barring any medical condition that you have that causes an adverse reaction to them. Nothing wrong with cutting them from your diet if you want to, but it shouldn't be…

I'd give it at least 6 to 8 weeks total. It seems like her body would be more used to the change in exercise than it is at "almost 4 weeks". As long as the OP is accurately measuring her intake, her weight should start going in a downward trend. If not, then a drop in calories is in order. But I don't think a drop in…

Instead of doing that, I made a food entry called "extra deficit". I add it to a day in which I need a reminder to eat less, such as after a day that I over ate on. Then I remove it at the end of the day so that my numbers are accurate.

OP, don't drop your calories to 1500 yet. I'm at 296lbs and for 2lbs a week, I net 1700 calories a day, and that's without strenuous exercise. There's no reason to drop that low when you're exercising.

It matters more for those of us who like to be accurate with our "estimates". If trying to accurately judge calories didn't matter, this whole food database would be useless.

I'd advise not to eat only 1200 calories a day. You might burn out and quit partway through because of the large deficit. Instead, eat the calories MyFitnessPal recommends, including eating back part of the calories you earn for the walking. You'll be more likely to stick with it if you're well-fed.

If your teen weight wasn't unhealthy, I don't see why getting below it would be impossible. My teen weight was around 300lbs, so I'm already below it. Of course, yours wasn't near that so it's a different circumstance, but I think it's possible.

I eat around 2,000, unless I'm parked on a couch not moving, then I eat about 1,600. Eating 800 is completely unsustainable. You should eat the calorie goal MyFitnessPal gives you, not less.

When I started weight training (I was over 300lbs at the time), I didn't see movement on the scale for over a month. Changing up your exercise can cause water retention. That sounds like the culprit, especially since you're feeling sore. If your measurements are changing, you are losing weight, but the water retention is…

It's gotten to the point where "life hacks" are equal to "stupid advice that someone makes up because it sounds good to them" in general.

I'm 6'0", started at 368, currently 296. I tried low carb (keto) in the past, lost great (my lowest was 272), fell off the wagon, gained most of it back. Easiest and most sustainable WOE for me is to just count calories and walk.

Glad to help! Now to go cut an entire cheesecake into M&M mini size.

Our difference of opinion comes down to semantics. When people say they're in a stall, that usually means "I'm not seeing a weight loss on the scale". Obviously the person is losing weight if they're in a deficit, but if there's no way of seeing it (since a scale is the normal method for measuring weight loss) then showing…

Stalls do exist, not sure why you would say they don't. Not everyone who experiences a stall experiences it because they stop tracking. I sometimes stall for 3 weeks at a time, despite logging completely accurately, and then drop 8 to 10lbs in the following week.

That's obviously how calories work. If you cut your food into tiny enough pieces, you wouldn't have to count any of it because each piece would contain no calories.

6'0", my goal has always been 168 since that will be a total loss of 200lbs. Seeing everyone else having so much lower goals makes me wonder if I'll be happy at that weight whenever I make it there.

I have them once a month. I take cumulative exams for my PhD once a month. I enjoy eating high-calorie junk food (a lot of it) during the day before and day of my exam. I was over by around 2,000kcal yesterday, and today will probably be the same. Ignoring water weight, I'll end up with probably a 1lb loss this week…

Maybe you've never undereaten for several days, but I have. And from my experience, and others that I know, the symptoms I listed are quite common with undereating for a few days in a row. Years of starvation will cause a lot more problems than feeling dizzy.

Which could lead to fatigue, dizziness, and even a possibility of fainting during the ceremony.

Impossible by any healthy method. Eat to fuel your body and try to relax. You're going to be stressed out enough by the wedding, no reason to make it worse by undereating for a week beforehand.

False. Body types don't affect weight loss.

I have to guesstimate on my bananas often, because I'm not eating them at home. So I compare the one I'm taking with me to one I eat at home, and add a few grams to the guessed weight for good measure. Weighing everything is the most accurate aid to calorie counting. But it's not always feasible. Don't give up a food you…
