I stagnated after 40 pounds lost, so now I'm trying the wave method and its working to get me out of my funk.(3 pounds lost) I'm not even at the focussed fat loss stage yet. There is something to it, check out eat to perform on Facebook if you want to check it out free before committing. They have tonnes of articles.

People are always going to comment on our bodies. Your friends may think they are actually being good to you by doing this. The fact is that no one is a mind reader: you owe it to your friends to express your concerns so that they could have an opportunity to correct this and maybe you will show them a better way of…

Yes! Thank you OP! This needs to be said more. Not to mention food labels are allowed to have up to a 20% discrepancy to the product inside the package.

My boobs deflated hardcore: from a large c almost d to a large b and no signs of stopping. I am not too worried about it really so I haven't really tried to fix the sagging.

"Eat less and lose weight" does very little to change your body fat composition in my opinion. I'm in the same boat as you. I don't have a rolls and very little cellulite but I started with 41% body fat. My advice is this: lift heavy weights and eat a lot more protein than you were before with way less carbs. For you…

I have a huge bowl of oatmeal in the morning, including on days I have a morning workout. It takes me 30 minutes to go from oatmeal to the gym and I don't feel any adverse effects from my huge breakfast. I actually have better workouts in general in the mornings, probably from the easy access carbs. I think everyone is…

This is bs. Different people have different needs.

I'm officially not plus size anymore.

I don't think you understand what was originally said. When eating 1200 calories I stopped losing, and then started losing when I ate closer to maintenance. No one was saying we ate over maintenance, we just ate considerably more than before.

@yopeeps025 it isn't an instant fix for sure. It is a pretty flexible method though, I lost 34 pounds in 20 weeks.

It happens, and telling someone their reality is wrong or didn't happen just because it doesn't happen to you is kinda rude.

Check out Eat to Perform's Wave Method for fat loss. It pretty much is what you describe. Also, just because I and the OP are eating more it doesn't mean we are eating donuts. I only cheat for birthday cake so I don't feel like a jerk at parties. I eat way more whole foods, and don't eat bread or sugar anymore.

I go out right before sunset. I live in a semi-desert and it cools off a bit before the sun goes down. Also it doesn't start getting really hot here until 9am so morning outings are nice.

I'm in the same boat. If I cut my calories more I plateau. I eat about 2000 on exercise days and 1600 on rest days and lose about two pounds a week. I think for me it comes down to what I'm eating as much as how much I'm eating.

It's probably water weight. Muscle doesn't atrophy in days. You can usually get an idea if you are losing fat or muscle by tracking your lean body mass through a bit of math if you know the change in your body fat percent.

Two weeks is too short. Give it 6 weeks. Do you eat back your cardio calories?

I think its pretty safe to aim for 1% of your body weight a week in loss. You probably would need to eat more if you are exercising. If you eat less than 1300 calories regularly and are not losing weight than eating more is probably going to work better. You could set mfp at 1200 and then eat back all of your calories that…

100-200 grams a day 100 on rest days 150 on regular gym days 200 on boot camp style workout days 5'6", 28 years, 200lbs, 30lbs lost already.

No, I eat my exercise calories after I exercise because that's when my body needs the extra nutrients(or I will eat a portion of those calories as carbs before my workout since I have a really good idea what 50% of my workout calories will be). Eating those calories when you aren't exercising is kinda counter to the…

1-3 times a week

In terms of weight management no. In terms of you BM in the morning, maybe?

I have a coach. She is a young lady that has been in competitive sports most of her life. She doesn't have any formal training but she is helping me get results in my weight training. I really believe that trainers should not be giving you advice on your diet. They are there to help you achieve greater performance. If you…

Yes...thank you OP!! I get it and think the exact same things. Measuring your food to the hundredths point doesn't matter when the fda approves a 20% margin in accuracy. It's not easy and crazy weighing is fringing on disordered eating. I like you.

I use mfp and the calculator at eat to perform. http://www.eattoperform.com/eat-to-perform-calculator/

Confidence can be had at any time. Even at my heaviest I still pranced around in a bikini and had a blast at the beach. It doesn't come from looking a certain way, it comes from truly loving yourself.

I wish I would have talked to my doctor sooner. He was a big help with his simple advice. I also wished I would have realized sooner that there isn't one be all end all way to get healthy that works for everyone. Everybody is different and requires different diet/exercise. Also, I wish I would have quit bread sooner.

And I never use drug store brand supplements. Buy the ones from a whole food market or u weight loss. U weight loss vitamins have the highest bio compatibility surprisingly.

I only supplement when my diet does have certain things. Fish oil when I don't eat fish(which is rare, it's a daily thing). Calcium and probiotics when I don't have kefir. In general I try to get it through food first. I use the nutrients tab to see where I am at for the day and supplement from there.

Started at 231 and Ido the curves circuit and free weights. I have lost 30 pounds so far but there other exercises I would like to try when I get a bit smaller, like running or a boot camp.
