Unfortunately our bodies aren't designed to spot reduce fat any more than we can decide to gain fat in any one area. Eating at a deficit consistently will get you result regarding fat loss. There's a lot great information and support on this site plus countless other sites. Good luck but be sure to have a clear…

welcome aboard. you'll likely find this site very useful. it's great for keeping track of calories and people are pretty supportive...at least friend the ones that are lol

I stay consistent with my calorie deficit regardless of the day....good luck !

There's typically a lot of talk about weight and weight loss and naturally as one gets leaner the weight drops. But mostly we're all probably really talking about fat loss rather than weight loss. Weight goes up and down but getting lean is about reducing fat and increasing lean body mass. So two people can weight…

reflect on what triggers you that eventually leads you to give up. some insight into how you've done business in the past may help you break out of the cycle...if you want to, you will

ya up and having a little red

I was concerned about that because I was going on a 7 day Caribbean cruise and was knee deep in the caloric deficit... people were helpful as they are here. I managed to enjoy lots of food but tried to keep things somewhat balanced but still found time to eat plenty. So go out and have a great time and don't worry about a…

I got back from a 7 day cruise and was up a few lbs....but the good news is that it's water weight and it's gone now lol....not likely any fat lbs. think about this. if you are in deficit by 500 calories and you are losing you would then have to eat 3500 calories above your deficit to get to maintenance level then another…

I was intrigued by that initially but it doesn't hold much for me now. The main thing is to log in to keep track. As long as you're in caloric deficit ie weighing food etc etc, and exercising, all should be moving along nicely. Again think fat loss verses weight loss. Scale measurements can fluctuate with sodium intake,…

Interest read. I enjoyed the article and agree with his fundamental message.

I loooooove Nutella but not going to eat it while in deficit o:)

hi

British Columbia...but now living in Phoenix B)

nice to see people still on it and saying hello

I weigh myself daily probably because I get OCD about stuff lol....I'm not overly concerned with any tics up if they occur because I'm focused on fat loss rather than weight loss.... B)

Echoing what others have said...but it depends on what your goals are. If you are interested in fat loss you will need to be in calorie deficit and that gets very tricky if you are simply estimating. It's surprising how quickly calories can add up even with small portions and it is absolutely contingent upon the actual…

Good post and a solid theory there Alloutofbubblegum....and greets from Phx
