  • Being attacked for logging what I thought was accurate is what elicits a defensive response.
  • This kind of makes sense. I have lost weight easily before eating lots of fruits and veggies. I upped my protien to help gain muscle.
  • Well, to berate and belittle someone for an obviously unintentional and ignorant error is not the way I would go about "helping", but to each his own.
  • Wow.
  • Yes, skinless chicken. It isn't like I'm trying to just arbitrarily make up calorie amounts, I'm using MFP for its intended purpose, which you've told me is basically a ludicrous notion. I type in foods and look for the most suitable match. Or I scan Barcodes.
  • Well, losing any fat at all would be great at this point. I'm petite, and already near my goal, so to lose even .5-1lb a week would technically put my daily calorie intake at way less than 1200 calories if we are looking at 3000 calories per pound of fat lost.
  • Okay, I just don't understand how a couple of ounce measurements as poised to grams are going to cause me to plateau. I pick grams whenever possible, but sometimes MFP doesn't have that as an option. When I chose oz, I use decimals (3.2oz, for example) and any "cup" measurements are taken from scanning barcodes. Also, how…
  • I didn't know it was closed. Open now.
  • I do. To the gram.
  • I have read that book and am currently on the "year one" challenge I'm following his workouts 5 times a week. Just curious, why "lifting" in quotations?
  • So, what do you suggest for calories? Everyone seems super opposed to eating fewer than 1200 calories a day, so what should I do?
  • Thanks. After reading a few other similar posts, I think this is my biggest problem. Losing pounds is pretty easy at first, but when you are a small person and get down to just a few pounds within your goal, it's tough!
  • Thank you.
  • I'm sorry, but I don't see the point in asking me one question at a time like this, other than maybe to poke until you find a weak spot to attack. Yes, I weigh my food. I guess what I'm trying to ask is, based on what I've said, does it seem like I'm at the correct colorie/macro totals, or do I need to change them? Am I…
  • I have.
  • With weight machines at the gym, you can still do whole body work without really using your ankle. There are a few leg machines that allow you to sit, so that may be an option, too.
