She's an awesome fellow nerd!

I know but I am not. Kinda getting upset about it, and reaching out to see what others have done to break their plateaus.

I want to know what I need to do to break this plateau and continue losing lol

When I first picked out my recipes, I weighed and logged everything. Now that I got used to making them, I don't weigh them anymore. The meats I buy I still weigh BEFORE I freeze them, into 4 oz packs. All the recipes are the same, the amount of everything I use is the same. Nothing has changed in my diet in over 6 weeks…

I was very accurate when I was logging. For example, I have ketchup with my eggs, and I log it, and so on and so on. Like I said, I keep track of it in person now rather than the app, but I stay around the 1200 mark daily.

I was logging for a while so I can get a feel of where I was with what I was eating. I am usually at about 900 - 1200 calories a day intake now. Have been for about 6 weeks.

@RobertCotton I get that, which is why I think once I get in better shape I may need to change gyms, as it seems "that" type of lifting is going to be the most beneficial in what I am after.

@kcerrillo thank you very much!

@jesusarolon I do mean 400 to 1000 calories before my workout (I don't log my workouts yet, but will start logging calories burned soon with a good tracker if I get one). Today I bought almonds, I already include whole wheat pasta when I use pasta. Greek yogurt is a must! Love it when I mix with fruits. I can change the…

Not the type of lifting she says I need to do.

I am doing really well tracking my food intake. Thing is with the changes I made, eating 5 times a day, nice wonderful healthy things, I get FULL, FAST. I know that is the point but I just can't eat it all! At the end of each day, my goal is 1680, but I still end up with about 1000 unspent calories and MFP yelling at me.…

This is the OP, all you guys have AMAZING transformations, but my question is HOW. What did you do, from start to finish? I need to know what I am doing! I know the information is out there, but if I get that info from REAL PEOPLE who are doing it, I would feel much better.

That worked, thank you very much!

I could care less for a social one, but it does have to be at least moisture resistant for sweat and hand washing. As for smart watch options, no. My cell phone is all I need for cell phone notifications.

I hope so! I uploaded a pic just now of me on my start date. I DESPISE looking at it, but that is what I hope will help to keep me going. As for the food, I will find that niche sooner or later haha. As long as I stay under, and don't over do it on bad fats I figure I am good for now.

I am enjoying what I am eating though. I could eat raw fruits and veggies all day if I could. I do agree I have to add some nuts into the mix. And as for sweets I actually hate them, I ate them because of feelings and they were there and such. I am more of an "I want chinese, I will order $50 of that *kitten* tonight and…

I am retired, so I am home all day except when I am out at the gym. I try to STAY out once I am done, but I am a single father raising an Autistic 6 year old boy! So I have to be home before 14:45 5 days a week to get him off the bus! Once he is home I have no real set schedule. I do keep up with my snacking though, the 2…

Yea next week I will start adding nuts into the equation. I changed out olive oil for coconut oil for now. I deff. can eat slower though :)

Thank you to everyone for your help and advice! I may "cut" oatmeal from the breakfast, and tack it on to my first snack. That way I am still eating the same at the very least, but not as much in the morning(?). I really am not counting anything, I do want to make that clear. I use MFP as just a tracker to see what I am…

Yea I basically cut out butter. I really only used it to cook. I changed over to coconut oil for a non-stick surface when cooking, but my egg pan is really good without. I was thinking maybe remove the eggs, and add a shake? The oatmeal is really the only carbs I get. I cut out breads, and potatoes are something for dinner…

What would be better? I am open to all suggestion as I am still new at this.
