I was at a plateau for over 2 weeks and I read that someone suggested eating 500 calories a day 2 days a week just in case she was underreporting her caloric intake so I tried it. Yes you will bite someone's head off from the hangry LOL but I swear I dropped the 2 lbs I needed to in just one week. My food scale is on the…

It took me 3 years to get focused enough to lose the baby weight of about 30 lbs after my first son born 6 years ago. But...when I simply cut back on calories the weight disappeared in a few short months and I never even worked out! I was the thinnest I had ever been in my life. Fast forward to today. I've got an 8 month…

Do you workout? I have cravings first thing in the morning and then late at night and barely eat anything throughout the afternoon so I experimented. I shifted my workouts to late night and by the time I get home I'm too exhausted to eat, still high on the excitement of my workout to sabotage it with food and I just shower…

How tall are you? I noticed you goaled yourself to lose 27 lbs??? I am 128 lbs 5' 3" and my goal weight is 125. I am eating 800-1500 calories a day and working out 5x a week and have been "stuck" at 128 lbs for a few weeks now so it sounds like you've got a real aggressive deficit goal??? I've got a food scale on the way…

How much are you trying to lose and what's your plan? Everyone on this site will tell you....before you do anything get a food scale and weigh and track everything you eat! Best luck to you! I too am in baby weight mode LOL. I lost 16 lbs in 2 months but have been stuck at my weight for the last 2 plus weeks and need to…

After having my first son 6 yrs ago it took me 3 years to get focused on taking the weight off but when I did it literally liquified off of my body in just a few short months after all those years. I was the thinnest I had ever been in my life and I didn't even work out! I only cut back on calories but never counted, just…

I moved my workouts to late night because I'm hungriest first thing in the morning and late night and find that I eat almost nothing throughout the afternoon. So I eat the majority of my calories in the morning and then I'm so exhausted after my late night workout that I shower and go to sleep....to tired to eat and so…

I am in the same predicament as you and was not weighing my food so I've ordered a scale. I have increased my workouts to almost double and am chronically exhausted. I keep reading about metabolic rate slowing as you get closer to your goal weight and also age and sex make a tremendous difference in your caloric burn…

The food scale is on it's way! This is the most exciting discovery yet so thank you! In regards to calories burned during workouts there are many great calculators on google and even if I use a slow pace in my equation I'm still well well above a 600 calorie burn....I wouldn't trust a precor read! I think that due to my…

I need a WIFI scale, never heard of that! I will try this TrendWeight....mind = blown!

I just did my BMR calculation, I've never heard of that but yes indeed it is BMR, and come up with 1319.9 and then multiply that by 1.55 as a moderately active person which suggests I should be consuming around 2,045 calories....GROSS I did that this weekend and am hitting the gym extra hardcore. My BMI is 22.7. With the…

Hi @Protranser I read many of the links and that was great! Answered a lot of questions I had! Going onto Amazon NOW to get that scale. I do believe that will make a big difference!

I do take medication for a blood sugar issue, not diabetes though. I have PCOS if anyone is familiar with that and I have often wondered if that makes it more difficult to lose weight?
-
I agree....burning over 600 is treacherous! But I do high intensity cardio for 80-120 minutes a minimum of 5x a week so it's become standard for me. I've googled my workouts in addition to the calories displayed on the monitor so I'm fairly confident with my calories burned. I realize most people cannot sustain that type…

Cool I will def try that!

Not weighing....measuring and counting into "serving sizes". Eeeeeks should I be measuring?

I think I've opened my diary!

What do you mean by large window so that I can explain. I log everything that I eat down to a tsp of red wine vinegar. I eat less on days I know that I won't exercise so that would be an 800 calorie day and eat more, 1400 calories, on days that I know that I will work out because I can offset that with workouts.

I am wondering the same thing about my new carb deficient diet. I didn't intentionally cut out carbs for any reason specific to carbs....but I noticed that I most enjoy my carbs smothered in real unhealthy stuff like potatoes swimming in butter and cheese....so that was the fastest way for me to cut calories and fat was to…
