You might not be eating enough. Also, try only weighing yourself once a week. My weight changes so much day to day

Thanks that helps a lot!

Also, congrats on your weight loss! I too want to be able to say I’ve lost 100 lbs, and I’ve got 30 more to go!

I can totally relate with everything you have just said. At the end of the day, I just want something that is going to be sustainable long term- and restricting certain foods or macros only causes me to binge. Before I had my son I lost 60 lbs from calorie counting. Since having him I’ve lost it mostly from whole30, and…

Exactly why I decided to quit keto. Honestly I have lost weight from calorie counting, WW, whole30, and now keto. I don’t think it really matters, but I’m with you in the fact calorie counting is more sustainable. I won’t go the rest of my life without eating bread or yogurt or whatever.

Should I put my carbs at 40% instead of 50%

I’m hoping so. I have heard it doesn’t matter as long as your in a calorie deficit. Hoping this is true.

How do I do this slowly?

Thank You for all of the responses. It's just a little different for me to think about eating back calories because prior to having my son I lost 60 pounds, and I never ate back any calories I burned. So that is something that I'm a little apprehensive about.

Is there a way to take off the extra calories it adds? I still want it to count my steps but not add the calories I've "burned"

Thanks for the info!

I'm sorry you kinda confused me. I did put my activity level at sedentary but wasn't planning on taking into account any calories burned from just walking. I plan on working out 3-5 days a week. So I guess maybe I just shouldn't pay attention to it, and I'm wondering how accurate the steps are anyway.

Thank you for the help! And yes I am on medication for it, and when I told her about me not losing weight her only advice was for me to start eating 800 calories a day! So needless to say that didn't help much :/

I use a food scale, yes.

I would like help but not bashing and people making fun of me. That's not why I'm on here. I want to start lifting but really don't know where to begin with it. Last time when I lost the weight only did cardio and no weight training. I also have a underactive thyroid

Funny, I lost 60 pounds and at that time I didn't know this app existed

I DO NOT EAT BACK ANY EXERCISE CALORIES BECAUSE I HAVE NO CLUE HOW MANY I BURNED. I strictly eat 1600 calories and that's it. I like to write stuff down more than putting it on here. That's it. I know exactly what I eat, and how much. There's no over eating or eating back any other calories.

I log on here sometimes but I also have a journal I use. I'm just trying to eat healthier I guess I should've said. When I lost the 60 pounds before my son, I ate alot of tv dinners and 100 calorie packs. I still lost the weight, but I want to take a more healthy approach, that's all. And I'm not estimating how much I burn…

Like I've said i know what I need to do. I have been eating 1600 calories a day for almost 4 weeks now(eating clean), drinking a gallon of water a day, and working out 5 days a week, and BOOM! I haven't even lost a pound. It's very discouraging. I'm doing all the same things I did before I had my son and was very…

I'm well aware of what I NEED to do. That I don't need help on, I lost 60 pounds on my own before I had my son. I'm just having a harder time trying to loose the weight. All I wanted was reviews on this book. Not someone telling me how to lose weight. These community posts meant to help people and encourage people, or at…

I am a believer in anything can work. I've counted calories, done carb cycling, IIFYM, weight watchers, and have lost weight by all of that. I wasn't aware the FMD, was that low in calories, so in that case I won't try it, was just curious if anyone had done it, and wanted to know more about it, don't need rude comments.…

Exactly my thought too. I'm no doctor but that number of calories just seems dangerously low. That is not good practice and she clearly knows nothing about nutrition. I told her if I start eating 1000 cals a day I'll have nothing to work with. I'm not gonna go down to like 600 calories a day

Like on a plate, on your food scale

Silly question but how do you weigh the peanut butter? Do you just put it like on a plate? I usually just use the tablespoon that comes with my measuring cups

Do you guys think I should add in more weight training? I workout 5 days now but it's all mostly cardio. Two classes I do have weights involved

Thank you everyone this is all very useful!!

I'll try that! I'm just still kinda new to it all. The first time I lost weight it was so much easier. There would be weeks I'd lose 3-4 pounds a week, and I'm doing the same things I did then. So when I use my scale and have it in grams, how do I put it in here so I know the calories? Because I usually just search and…

I don't weigh food if I can look at the label and know how many calories it is, I don't need to weigh my quest bars it says on the package there 190 calories. I'm talking about fruit, veggies, chicken, stuff like that

100 grams? Idk why it says that lol I just choose the ones that say there the closes to that size. Like 1 large banana. For the turkey bacon I don't measure that because 1 slice is 25 calories so I obviously know 4 slices is 100 calories

I think I changed it now
