  • I fear it is not the calculators that are wrong in this instance. Lurking troll perhaps??

  • Reverse diet by increasing kcal by 100-150 per day for a week (maintain protein at 0.8-1g per lb of bodyweight and increase fat and complex carbs to make up the required 100kcal) The next week again increase by another 100 or so kcal and so on until you reach the point where you stall. Chances are you will have found your…

  • One day you will have reached your goal too and look super athletic and newbies will be using you as inspiration! Block out negative thoughts, stay focussed on the goal and feel awesome that everytime you go you are one step closer to being the best possible version of yourself! :)

  • There's nothing wrong with your scales! My mass goes up by approximately 5lbs in the course of a day and I don't bother weighing myself in the week before I menstruate since I see it fluctuating "wildly"; up to 9 or 10lbs difference. Have you considered measuring progress in a different way? Tape measure and also 7 site…

  • Are you eating enough of the right foods and tracking everything? I'm 5' 4", sub-20% BF, 124lbs and losing easily on way more kcals than you are currently consuming. I totally agree with mmarie_3 and smurfbus, fuel yourself with the right food so your body doesn't feel deprived and maybe think about lifting heavy. I…
    in Weight loss little to none? Comment by gilldunkley February 2016
  • Measurements are great....scales are NOT my friend! I weigh in weekly (but body mass can fluctuate up to 8 lbs in that time depending upon water, creatine use, hormones etc etc, which makes me despondant) but the weekly tape measurements and monthly photographs/7 site calliper measurements are much more revealing and a…

  • Yep, that's me too! No chest at all now - completely FLAT! LOL. I'd rather be 40lbs down than have bigger boobs for sure though!

  • I have found the 'last ten pounds' to be an absolute nightmare; been stuck at 123-126lbs for months and months sadly. I would like to think it's a common problem and I'm not unique. I shook my diet up, started eating more fat and more protein (increased my energy intake) and the calipers are moving again - very slowly but…
    in Normal??? Comment by gilldunkley February 2016
  • Been up and down over the years - blips generally caused by pregnancies. It was child number three that did it for me and the fat just didn't want to come off after his arrival. I tried everything......IF, Atkins, Paleo, Calorie Counting, Exante shake diet and so the list goes on. The only thing that is really working for…
    in Lose gain, lose gain, then found success? Comment by gilldunkley February 2016
  • There are loads of BMR and TDEE calculators on the internet. They all vary a bit in the way they calculate your BMR but they will give you a good idea. I do believe in the 'low BMR thing'.......I think mine happened due to an ongoing large kcal deficit exactly as ninerbuff suggests. Yes I lost 40lbs but then the fat loss…
