I think you should redefine your goals over all. 7 days all out and no recovery/rest built in is a recipe for injury, fatigue, burn out and other side effects if not done properly. I wonder how steep your deficit is on top of that? eta: find you a progressive overload strength training program to follow (it will have…

True that metabolism can/does change as we get older. I fit the older classification at 50. Diet and regular exercise helps with this What classifies as not getting enough exercise? And protein to make what count? Eating every 2.5 to 3 hours, nah.

I've peaked in a lot of diaries over the years when threads like this come up, usually things come down to weighing and logging inaccuracies, wrong database entries, missed meals, missed days, I even seen lots of quick add calories, etc etc. A person can lose weight for a certain amount of time doing it that way, but when…

Did you lose any of your weight in the colder/winter months? We can be less active, moving around less in the winter months but with consistent activity and exercise you can combat that. Gaining weight comes down to eating more than our daily total expenditure needs. If it were me, I would go back to the basics. Review my…

There is a lot of truth in the number I receive on the scale on any given day. If I stick to the same diet 3-4-5 days and exercise the same (and its not TOM) the scale will be quite consistent. When you put in dietary and or hydration differences, for example my weekend eating, how I ate over those two days will show…

I've been wanting to upgrade my Garmin, but the Garmin I have just keeps going and going. Using the Forerunner 35 for over 4 years. When this one dies I will upgrade to the latest Forerunner.

The assumption does not make sense to answer your question. But if you find that this way of thinking works for you then it works for you.

Per your diary you are to low n calories most days. Not sure why you want to strive to be under the the 1900 calories gave you to lose weight and then make that even lower by going under 1500 being an active 21 year old. Assuming you are trying to lose weight faster. Also your protein needs are quite low. Low protein,…

Fitness trackers are not useful for gauging calories burned for strength training. I found this blog quite a while ago when I first started using my HRM many years back, and while its old the information in it applies. https://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/Azdak/view/hrms-cannot-count-calories-during-strength-training-17698

I'm still here years later, total of 5. I still log every day. It only takes a few minutes a day to keep up with my intake. It helps me do 2 things, make sure I eat enough for my training and also keep any weight creep at bay. I've never considered this as restrictive, obsessive or anything negative other than helping me…

The last two slices of bread... just basic stuff.

1. Where you from? East Coast USA 2. What’s your job? Way too boring 3. Married, single? Yep and we are getting old together too. 4. Children? 2 5. Fun fact? I got nuttin

This would take a while, can't name just one favorite.

Forget about the Fitbit. Your real world results based on your current intake and weight loss (assuming that nothing can contribute to water weight loss) is your driver on what to do.

Did your trainer put you on the calorie intake you are on (looking at your diary)? Following TDEE or MFP method? If MFP method, you are not eating back exercise cals causing a bigger deficit. If TDEE, then that is off and needs adjusting.

Her abs are a give away to amazing genetics and hard work. Sadly, squats in the kitchen while waiting on bread to toast won't get this look. If it did I am definitely doing it wrong. :smiley:

Take a diet break/refeed (raise your calories to maintenance) for a brief period. This thread explains why, how to do it and the benefits. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10604863/of-refeeds-and-diet-breaks/p1 After your diet break is over, reduce your deficit to .5 rate of loss and be patient. eta: Any…

No this is not normal. What I would do is stop listening and reacting to what other people say and look at the bigger picture which is both my physical and mental well being. Secondly, eat what the app tells me to eat, I think you know 1100 is too little.

Discontinue it. Nothing is worth putting time and effort into finding out why and how to make that product work for you. You could have built up a reaction to it over time. Maybe find a product with just creatine (if the little bit of creatine in it is part of the reason you are using it) and use caffeine/coffee as your…

edit... I just saw your stats, calorie goal and exercise. Keep the same eating pattern. Do not cut out foods you plan to eat after weight loss. On 1200 calories, eat all 1200 calories and eat back any exercise calories you burn.

I wonder if your program is the right program for you, this ideally is for intermediate and advanced trainers and you have almost no recovery days built in. I'd honestly look at recomp instead of bulking as well. Lots of apprehension regarding fat gain, and wonder what body fat % you started your bulk at. So at this point…

But that apple may really weigh something else entirely. You don't know since you did not weigh it. What made you choose 20 hour fasting? There are other IF protocols that use a broader eating window like 16:8, 17:7 but you still need to be in a calorie deficit... Buy a food scale, guesstimating your intake will only prove…

82 Monte Carlo... Oh my poor first car. I don't think this box I am typing in is large enough for what I put that car through. RIP, fun times though.

This is me. This whole sugar thing was like an infection when I first started reading the forums here in MFP. I switched to fiber too. My sugar report... I did eat cake (big slices :tongue:) three nights in a row, but not even worrying about sugar its doesn't look that bad. Keep in mind the sugar or any other nutrient in…

20 mins in the gym?? 'might be' and 'pretty sure' actually says you are not sure. What do you do in the gym exactly? What has your weight done in the past 4 weeks? Following a structured lifting program? How often do you recover/rest in between your work outs? What does your protein intake look like in your diet? Could…
