And for gravings .... i eat every evening for 10 months now a huge bowl of popcorn... some fruit and ice! It keeps me on track! :) So i found my way to do things

Come on Kristin you can do it...for sure Set your mini goals if you have too. But maybe this is an option for you Do a week of eating at a deficit....live towards the next week :) Count the day is you have too...and than do a week maintenance..promise your self that you can do a week maintenance after that deficit week.…

I have a Misfit and a Polar watch But for my weight loss i just kept the MFP NEAT method to start with the first half year I losed over 106 pounds in 10 months ...just by weighing all my food on a food scale No cups no spoons no serving sizes...just weighing EVERYTHING in grams. The smaller your deficit the more important…

oh yes good one too. Had one of those But what i love are the ones that people make and a cup of rice "only" has 40 calories or so lollll And the sad thing about it is...some people/members use it. And think they eat 40 calories while they eat really 140 or so.

And this is exactly the point..yes when you eat the calories surplus or you wipe out your deficit...you gain or have your plateau Right there!!!!! This is the perfect example of what i mean couple grams/calories here couple grams/calories there..... mehhhh doesn't matter!

ty Dani :)

So you dont have the same amount every day! You dont log accurately ( doesn't matter btw if your deficit is big enough so i am not judging) But this is exactly what i mean..... couple grams here couple grams there

indeed that is what i did for some weeks ago slowly upping to slow it down From 2lbs a week i went over time to half a pound...by upping my calorie intake.... (i really wonder why i dint start to lose more weight since i came from 1200 losing 2lbs a week now 1600 and losing half a pound a week....spot on!)

your very welcome And i am sure you will make it ....just weigh everything eat everything but in moderation and less than you burn and you will lose weight like a charm :) Sometimes slower sometimes fast but you will...just keep plugging along :) good luck and let us know how you are doing. We love to hear it

Indeed i didn't say i know everything at all Just say that science is for everybody eat less than you burn and you lose weight Very simple but again i am outta here and weight the results of the eating more club...lol I lose weight fine without stalling or plateaus and i am in the CICO weighing correctly club to know what…

i dont guestening it at all.... the plateau tells it all Your body never lies..it counts for you....everything So when you dont lose weight you are not burning more than you take in. and sorry but when i see a diary of somebody who says i am at a plateau not losing weight or gaining and they have always....i mean always…

I am talking to Table_23 who is on a plateau too and says to eat more calories.

With a smaller deficit it is important....

the point is some calories off here some there lets say with some error logging 100 a day is 700 a week 2800 a month so 5 weeks 3500 isnt that a whole pound you threw away for just those couple of calories that are not important?

thats what i said lol i never get exactly the same always...some days yes others dont... and it doesnt matter with less dense foods but count it all up specially when you use a lot the same densed foods..it adds up very quickly to a couple of hundred calories But be my gues peeps eat more and lose weight.... i am not that…

well it is strange that you always eat the exact same amount of calories for the same foods it indicates that people dont weigh but indeed use cups spoons and serving sizes And the fact remains that you only gain or not lose weight when you eat to much. How ever you toss and turn it. Eating more is never the solution.

when i weigh two slices of Sara lee one day it is 43 grams next day the slices are 50 gram etc etc Which means the sleices of bread are never 90 calories always...it varies Same for crisps it is never 28 grams every day...and yes you can cut a bit of your bread to make it 45 gram and dont eat that lol But for me when i…

like i said Your Sara Lee is always 90 calories...mine dont So that indicates you go by servings as well...as a seasoned user as you say...you know that the servings sizes you use..can be very off. And some grams here some grams there adds up. you have other entry's like that half a cup of cottage cheese..always 90…

Good example btw the Sara Lee bread for 90 calories 2 slices I weigh mine and it is never ever 90 calories always a bit under or above.... says enough isnt it?

to be fair i see a lot of cups spoons and serving sizes in your diary @tabl_23 So not accurate at all! bread 2 slices can be easily over 50 calories off..some grams here some grams there etc etc Really that is not weighing everything at all!

yeah in my dreams i would love the hot sauce ....but cant have to many salt.....( and no peeps salt isnt bad i am not saying that..i love salt...but just cant have it lol) There are more great sauces at this moment btw i mix some Bolthouse farmes dressing with vinegar...or water and spices and herbs...very good too and…

yeps most of them indeed

condiments are sometimes even more than my whole salad lol Some lettuce tomatoes and cucumber...mehhhh couple of calories...ad only one spoon of Maries dressing and bammm 170 calories. And that is not even weighed out lol So you better do because some foods are very calorie dense...oils etc 1 spoon is about 160 calories.…

Scientific studies please That's all i ask for. No [ersonla blogs/commercial working magazines blogs and people telling their experiences Just scientific peer studies

Yes because when you asked them...most of the time 99.99% they dont weigh their food and they only guess they eat 1200 calories While they eat much more. Or dont log everything at all. Or have all kinds of wrong entry's

ahhhh a woo study on a site that wants you to buy a book. Under eating does NOT cause plateau's the average person who hits a wall you are speaking off is most of the time not weighing or counting their food properly...they lose some water weight to start with...but burning fat nope It is not the truth Science is Eating…

NO! If so why do people starve to dead why does anorexia exist...please stop posting this. Under eating doesn't cause plateaus or gain weight!!!!

Are you really weighing all your food on a food scale..in grams..no cups and spoons Maybe opening your diary would help other members to support you

No just no reset? ...metabolic suppression... Just start weighing all your food OP ALL of it A plateau is nothing else than that you eat the same amount than you burn. But questions how long is this plateau you are speaking off? And please remember eating more calories is NOT leading to (more) weight loss or breaking…

A lot of people "demand" their body to be top fit and do a lot of work on just some calorie intake. And i am not talking about a bit of exercise but exercising for hundreds of calories and not giving anything back to your body for that ( after all the 1200 calories given by MFP is just for living and surviving) will lead…
