Check out leptin resistancce. I had the same problem and found out some people don't get a 'full' signal in their brain that helps you stop. I also used intermittent fasting to solve this problem; as it eliminates the hungry signals. Good luck. If it helps, it worked for me. I was on a yo-yo for a year before I discovered…

What is UP24?

Kind of like a moving average that accounts for outliers?

I plan to adjust mine every time I weigh in, since as you correctly point out it must be personal. Thanks for your comment, I just thought I discovered something new and wanted to share it!

Thanks. I was wondering why the goal that shows up on my food page does not match the goal line on the Charts page. I think there must be a way to fix that. I am knew so I just can't find out what I am doing wrong.

Sorry I am slow responding! I think a lot of people in our age group don't use the forums because, like me, I don't know how to use the forums yet. (Haven't figured out how to post a picture either). Or, you might just blame the trouble on their meds. lol I have decided my troubles are not unique to age. I was thinking it…

I am new. Didn't know about the above site. Thanks for responding to my inquiry. See you there!

I wish you all the best. Good luck with your operation.

Thanks. As I was saying, I am new. Didn't know there was a message place for people over 50 already!

Thank you.

I went over in frustration. I decided I needed to come here for help because obviously, that is not a solution! :) I will use the TDEE and BMR calorie suggestions and back off on my goals. I will get off of the Keto plan; which I wasn't very good at anyway, and follow their macros instead. The doctor is on my to-do list…

I will try getting ofd Keto for a while. I will research the protein requirement, and I just made my diary public. Thanks a lot for the suggestions.

I will definitely check out my protein requiremtents. I guarantee my meds are slowing me down. I am bipolar so I take a bunch of meds. I lost 9 or those 17 pounds before I got with the MFP and fitbit program. Now even with an average 700 cals acual deficit I gained a pound. The 1340 requirement goes something like this: I…

Messes you up really bad. Take a look at populations that must eat that way because of the high cost of healthier carbs. Severe crisis levels. ps not a scientist. Don't know the chemistry, only the macro results.

I think you are missing something there - the worry is over highly refined processed carbs.

I am new OP so forgive me if this is not the place to say it. But I don't eat out of a box or with high fructose corn syrup or processed carbs. Just voting for your idea to limit (certain) carbs. Just isn't natural enough for me. The food giants are probably aware of the health problems they are facilitating. If you are…

Just keep telling yourself the truth. Because, the truth is, this works. And you know it from personal experience. At least you don't have to worry about looking for a solution. Recall your goals and why you chose them. I bet if you took a survey you would find most people who have succeed with MFP have cheated before!

My gig tip is about metabolism. You build a bigger engine/muscles to burn the calories with. 4 tips: strength train, move faster, drink lots of water, and don't skimp on your protein requirement. Your experience with weight watchers will help a lot with counting everything. Get friends to be accountable to. I am new and…

I guess you might be exhausted by all these comments. I admit I didn't read them all. Measuring 'loss' can be done in other ways (as has been mentioned). But I suspect metabolism. I mean calories in calories out. Right? Ways to boost metabolism are 1 strenght training 2 eat enough protein 3 go faster 4 drink a lot of water.

Hello. Just got the zip. Used it for the first time today. I walked a couple miles and entered my exercise; then, I hit the adjustment link and it says I earned 25 calories for all that walking! What have I done wrong?

It wouldn't make for a great date movie. Non-judgmental. That's who you are looking for.

I have a rule. I don't hang around people who don't respect me. When someone says something to you that you suspect is rude but aren't sure just ask - are you telling me this to help me or to give me a hard time? Anyway, if it is family, I guess I hang around them, but only as much as I have to.

Wow. What a story of patience you are. I think I will be more confident that a 60% fat goal can work. I have found the high fat oil in my coffee with heavy cream keeps me satisfied for several hours.

Done. Thanks

Hello. I am brand new here. Trying to use this site and still stay on Keto. I am using 25-25-60. It seems like cheating to be eating all these carbs though. My fatbombs are just sitting there, but my keto almond bicuits are a real plus. (Especially with cream cheese!). Sorry don't know how to upload my facebook picture. I…

As someone has noted above weight can fluctuate 3 or 4 pounds a day! I was really disappointed at the early results when I started dieting and exercising at the same time. You gain muscle and in the long run, that is a good thing because muscles are like the engine of a car. Bigger muscles will burn more calories.
