I love these wild west lone wolf people. lol

At your size, and since you have just started, losing that fast is normal. It won't continue, after about a month to three months it will start to slow down considerably. Right now you're losing a lot of food and water weight along with plenty of fat. Once you slow down to about 2 pounds a week you will be losing mainly…

The imaginary mfp diet strikes again! There is no magic eating back your calories science to weight loss. You don't do it, folks. You exercise to speed your weight loss. It doesn't work in some special different way because you are using this particular diet tracker. You misunderstand this particular software and use it as…

It is okay not to eat exercise calories. I am surprised you got that message, usually it doesn't do that unless you go under 1000.

Taxing cigarettes only makes smokers complain more. No one needs that

All food is taxed in my state.

Of course you shouldn't. I don't know why MFP people get this idea. No one else will tell you to do this anywhere.

Don't eat back exercise calories. That's a myth fostered her on mfp only. It's a sure way to NEVER lose any weight.

Sure I do that. I didn't know people gave the "phenomenon" a name. If I don't want to talk to someone anymore because I feel they are difficult or troublesome or they set off danger signals, I don't. I don't owe them some explanation, because I have found in the past what will happen is, if they have already set off…

eat less

Because caging it is cruel and unusual Weight should be free to run the fields and live its life, man

"Eating clean" is a popular eating disorder promoted on mfp. Just count calories and try to avoid all the anxiety provoking responses you will get to this post. Food isn't poison.

No. Working out doesn't "bump your calorie goal up". That's a misunderstanding. Your calorie goal remains the same regardless of how much you exercise. People on this site are nuts about the "eating back your exercise calorie" thing. even the site's dietician says that is a mistake. If you are getting your basic nutrition…

Eat less.

Very normal at first, especially if you are at a high weight. Don't expect it to last long unfortunately.

How are you "unable to eat healthy?" The food in the house is full of carbs and fat? Well just don't eat much of it. The gym won't help you even if you go. If you eat little enough, you will lose weight. It sounds like you're not in the best situation but you can still lose weight it you have the motivation. If you don't,…

I've also heard people on the Biggest Loser were encouraged to do speed and stuff to lose faster for television purposes.

Over time I have had to eat less to continue losing. I have to eat about 250 less per day now to maintain the same amount of weight loss. This is pretty widely known.

"Do Macros impact your weightloss" No.

Yeah exactly. Stopping walking would be bad and she would gain back some weight slowly without changing her diet. But also walking, regardless of weight, is an awesome form of exercise for the heart, lungs, and general well-being like mental and otherwise. It's kind of a good maintenance weight-control thing. But largely…

This is correct. You don't need to weigh everything. You just need to keep track of it - even the "just one bite" of something. I have lost 127 pounds now without weighing one single bite of food. Not a bite.

Regardless of your weight, walking is good for your heart. People have made a terrible error in thinking exercise is for weight loss. It isn't. Exercise is for cardiovascular health. Your diet is the determining factor of your weight to an 80% margin. Lower your calorie intake by 10% or 100 calories a day and DO be strict…

Carbs are completely necessary to keep your body running.

There is no cure for auto immune diseases, but proper medical treatment can help control the symptoms. A lot of people are being misled by snake oil salesmen and being fed this idea of the perfect diet that will "get them off medications". Getting off medications has become this weird holy grail elite status when the real…

There's a lot of misinformation out there. One big piece of it is the oft repeated "2000 calories a day is a healthy diet". That isn't true for everyone. I gained steadily on an average of 2000 healthy calories a day. I do have PCOS, but even if I didn't, smaller women can have slower metabolisms and don't necessarily need…

Almost every picture I see on the internet of this brand new invented "loose skin" phenomenon falls into one of two categories: 1) people who legitimately have loose skin because they had gastric bypass and lost over 150 pounds in a year; 2) people who are still 50 pounds overweight even though they have lost 50-100…

Well, not knowing anything about you - sometimes this is something people do when they see someone close to them start to exhibit frightening, obsessive, behavior that seems like it is coming close to disordered. If you are hearing it from a lot of people, maybe it's something to think about.

I have trouble believing, given what you have described, that your "bodpod" is working correctly. Have your measurements changed?

*reads all other responses* People on this site are absolutely insane and will have you behaving obsessively without even reading what you have said. You are already fairly slim, so aren't going to lose very fast. About a pound a week is a reasonable rate of weight loss. Two pounds is the most anyone should lose unless…
