the things you're choosing to limit your intake on are things that I think you enjoy eating. Maybe you would benefit from readjusting how much of each you're having in a day. For me, eating bread or rice by itself is not going to be anywhere near as filling including rice or bread with a fatty cut of meat or with meat and…

There are also two exclamation marks after those two all-capped words. "The exclamation mark (Commonwealth English) or exclamation point (American English) is a punctuation mark usually used after an interjection or exclamation to indicate strong feelings or high volume (shouting), and often marks the end of a sentence.…

If you're willing to put in the effort to follow a structured way of eating, as you've outlined in your post, it may also be a very beneficial thing for you to make sure you're weighing all your food with a kitchen scale and picking the right food entries in the MFP database and logging your intake. Try reading the first…

4-6 weeks is enough time to establish enough data points for a trend, I think. If you are still bouncing back and fourth for the next two weeks, then change your calorie intake

When I was in a deficit, I would look at the calorie goal as a maximum that I'd try my best to not exceed. Now that I'm in maintenance, I have to look at MFP's goal as a minimum or I'll keep losing, which is not going to be productive towards my ideal body composition goal.

Dexa scan provides calorie intake suggestions now? Or is this just with the place you got yours done?

I am going to try to make this soup in a decent sized batch sometime soon. Thank you for the recipe idea lol. Having multiple course meals is quite pleasing, for me.

just today, I sent some shirtless pics to my SO of me flexing and not flexing. The response? "I am going to call an anorexia hotline. You look underweight to me." My bmi is just now 24.6. And this could just be a water fluctuation getting me this low lol... >:) humblebrag

Stay strong. If you can make peace with your own form of addictive behaviors, you will come out a stronger person. For me, this means understanding my limits and knowing not to exceed them too frequently, as odd as that sounds.

I eat a lot more than 1500 a day. I've been trying to maintain since October, but have been losing.

I've tried restricting certain macronutrients and ingredients with no real attention to calories. Had I paid more attention to calories, and had some basis of quantifying the amount of exercise I was doing versus the amount of calories I should eat to continue exercising with that intensity/frequency, I probably would've…

Start adding more activity into your life. Small things first: use the stairs when they're an option. If it requires some walking to get to the stairs, then do it. Park further away from things if you drive often. If you live in an area where you can walk to stores, then start walking to those stores to buy things you need…

It works! I don't see why everyone is poking fun at this. It is the only way I've lost my weight. But freeze drying is not as good as farm to table fresh out of the sphincter, because the gut flora in the poo gets killed when subject to extreme temperature. There are web sites devoted to people who enjoy eating poo. Check…

Oh wow, that's Scooby of Scoobysworkshop? That's cool! ETA: Does he really think 1 day of a high calorie intake could wipe out a months worth of a deficit? I dunno...

I see abs on you. You don't see them?

Life would be different without your social circles. Is that really how you want to live? I vote to just accept when you go over, and work out a little more the rest of the week, and/or eat a little less on other days before/after the party day(s). If you're not into those ideas, fill up on low cal high volume foods before…

I average 15-18k steps a day, and out of a 24 hour period, i get those steps from 2 hours of meaningfully moving( jogging, brisk walking) for exercise. I have a sedentary desk job. I have mfp set to very active. When it was set to sedentary i was still getting the same calorie budget per day through fitbit adjustments (…

It's not fair, women get to eat more calories/burn more calories when breastfeeding. It's okay though because my diet is better than those other peoples diets.

Thanks everyone :) I'll take it easier on the jogging. I appreciate all your advice

If none of the above posts work, I vote you eat it until you're satisfied, log it all. Then eat normally for the rest of the week, or see if you can. Do not let your addictions overcome your morality! Do not sell your loved ones or yourself to get your next sugar fix, ok? :(

about 3-5 miles each way, twice in a day. so 6-10 miles total of either walking or jogging per day. I don't think I've ever been much into jogging since this year, actually. I did it a little in my 20's and experienced a lot of pain and discomfort and general disinterest in continuing. Now that I've become fairly active…

Someone on these boards once wrote something that really stuck with me. After reading the post, I sat back and processed how much better I remembered feeling after getting the exercise done for those times I kinda sorta didn't want to. So yes, the line was something like "I've never completed a workout and thought it…

Seafood, salmon and tofu as protein for me over the next 18 hours.

I didn't choose to love nuts. I was born this way

Steamed shrimp with broccoli, rice, vegetable tofu soup. If i feel like splurging, I'll get ribs and/or steamed dumplings. If i was planning for this meal, I'm getting Peking duck and pork belly with rice.

Chicken breast and shrimp/prawns together, with a microwaved russet potato and microwaved veggies can hold me over for about 4-5 hours. I'm surprised to see so many people listing eggs on this thread. For me, eggs don't hit the spot if I eat them without a grain/bread and veggies. I'd rather just have the chicken and…

When I start losing motivation to go out for a walk, that's when I know I have to find ways to stay active. If the weather gets terrible where I am, and I can't get as much walking in as I'd like in a day, there are a variety of ways to stay active without having to leave home. I often see people mention youtube videos to…

Oh my... what a frightening thought to ruin a buzz. Good thing there are no lurkers reading this thread.

I have no advice, criticism, or insult. I have a compliment! In your pictures, you remind me of popular musician/artist from my adolescence. He goes by "The artist formerly known as prince." I like your strong jaw :)
