weight loss is not linear and your body will take time to adjust.. Just keep eating in a deficit and you will lose. BTW I weigh a lot of my pre portioned food as well.. You'd be surprised how off they can be.

1 gram of carbs = 4 calories, 1 gram of protein = 4 calories, 1 gram of fat = 9 calories. It all boils down to eating less calories than you burn. In relation to weight loss it makes no difference how you put these together.

Nothing you do will target the tummy pooch. Your body will lose fat over time based on genetics. Unfortunately the tummy is many times the last to go.. My love handles the same way. You just have to stick to your program and over time it will go.
-
One you have not been at it long enough. Two is seems from your weight you are eating far too little. Three be sure you are weighing all your food to be sure your accurate on your intake.
-
Only look at Macros and how they will fit in my daily numbers. Macros obviously add up to your calories, but there you have it.
-
I don't know why you would spend the $$ on weight watchers when you can just measure your food and track what you eat. You simply eat less than you burn and you will lose.
-
That is a great question.. I usually grumble about it for a while, try to forget it and move on. Everyone has fat feeling days I think. Just can't let it hold you down for long.
-
Sometimes I'm hungry and sometimes I'm not. I generally stay pretty satiated with what I eat.
-
Really the gym just helps you burn more calories (from a weight loss perspective), so staying in a calorie deficit is all you need to do. I certainly advocate the gym from a muscle, body composition perspective, but it's not necessary at all to lose weight.

Make some friends and steal from their diary. We cook all kinds of things and make them work. Tons of low fat substitutes to make all kinds of great stuff.
-
Just pick one and go with it for a while and see what happens. Be careful over estimating your exercise. 500-700 on a treadmill is a pretty big burn.
-
It is entirely possible that the fat is coming off areas you are not measuring. I'd just keep the scale, the measurements as all individual data points and go with it. I measure my stomach area as it's the largest part of fat I have left. I always capture my love handles around the biggest area. I use calipers and the…

@RebeccaNaegle My wife is a lifter!

I love Legion Athletics Pulse. I have not ever had a bad time with it.

Sometimes yes.. I know most of my snacking desires occur in the evening, when more bored. I save my calories for the evenings so that I can snack and stay in my numbers. Just give your calories or macros the room they need to allow yourself some things.
-
No such thing.

Rest day is over.. Chest done. Happy Hump day to everyone!
-
It makes absolutely no difference when you drink it. Enjoy!
-
I eat everything.. count my calories, meet my macros.. works great
-
Save your calories, eat when the pill wears off and just make better choices about what you eat.
-
Just remember the more lean muscle mass you have the more you burn! Sounds like you are on the right track.. nothing beats weighing and logging everything.. You will know what you can and can't do for maintaining and losing.
-
There is lots of research to show that in a normal diet maintaining weight .8 to 1 gram per pound is plenty and more doesn't hurt, but doesn't really help either. When you are in a calorie deficit there has been some studies show that more protein will help you maintain more muscle while you lose. I tend to stay in the 1.2…

Sure you can cut a little the next couple of days.. diets are not lost or won in a single day. You can still just stay on your plan going forward and you will be fine. 500 calories over in a single day won't kill you.. it's doing that day in and out for a long period of time that will. I would let it be a great meal with…

Jordan, Your first step is to figure out what your TDEE is.. Today daily burn including all your exercise. This takes time to do as everyone isn't the same. I too have a desk job and then hit the gym 5 days a week to lift. Most calorie counters I use sedentary as my setting and it works well to what I have found I can eat…
-
I am not sure exactly where you are in your journey but life is important. I would go on a trip and enjoy it. You can get back on track when you get back.. If you are talking about three days, go live, enjoy,have fun and don't worry about it.
-
Condiments can add up to a huge amount of calories.. you absolutely need to weigh and log them.
-
Are you trying to go to Ketosis? If so you need much much fewer carbs.. I think something like less than 20grams a day. I'm not an expert. If you are not doing that, I can't fathom why you would do low carb at all, unless that is the only way you can stay on your calorie goal. I keep my percentages around 40p/40c/20f.
-
I would highly recommend you weigh everything!! It is absolutely amazing how much you can be off, even pulling a bagel out of pre-packaged and using the single serving. Weigh it and compare to the grams in the serving size.
-
absolutely weigh everything you eat. You will be amazed at the difference in calories from actually weighing.
-
It's very common that these wearable devices over estimate the calorie burn. I'd just try to use best judgement when coming up with your TDEE. I have figured out over time that my typical week and working out puts me at x and keeing myself in a 20% deficit from that gets me cutting vs. staying flat.
