Are you using a food scale?
-
This thread is already too complicated. When you gave your height, weight and intake it was already obvious. HRM burns on your fitbit during strength training are going to be way, way over-estimated. It's simple math. You're eating at maintenance. With 70 minutes of cardio seven days per week/15-18K steps per day, and…

No.

Weight lifting doesn't burn a lot of calories. You're not doing much cardio at all. 1500 with your stats is awfully close to maintenance. You're petite and sadly the calories to lose and maintain aren't all that high. If you your'e not able to come down to 1200 or 1300, I would suggest increasing your cardio. It's still…

Agreed.

No. I know I'm not typical, but I haven't plateaued at all, 109lbs down. I see daily fluctuations, I gain water weight for a few days, but it's been steady going. I've been using a food scale the entire time, I'm meticulous with my logging and I'm realistic about my exercise burns.

It's going to come off you the way it comes off you, and no one else.

No, science says that starvation mode isn't a thing.

You don't need medicine, you need a calorie deficit, and probably a good food scale. How about you fill out your profile here and stick to the calories given to you for a good period of time?
-
I haven't gained more than 2.5lbs overnight, but when that happens for three days, it leaves a mark on my psyche. However, it goes away within a few days and always reveals a loss soon after.
-
No mention of calories? What are you doing about those?
-
I think perhaps taking a step back and looking at it more simply. Cardio, at various levels, burns CALORIES. It creates a bigger DEFICIT. The deficit causes a reduction in fat. Fitness goals are one thing, fat burning goals are another.
-
If that person doesn't have significant fat stores, yes. However, if you are obese or very overweight, a big nope.

Citations needed.

To be honest, this sounds like a very psychologically unhealthy situation. I say fill the house with only the things you can eat. This is your health we're talking about. I'm sorry you have to deal with this drama.

1. All you need is a calorie deficit to lose weight. This is also a great time to teach your daughters about normal portion sizes and healthier options by just being an example. 2. you can do all manner of exercises from home. Videos, the internet, just walking in place and moving your arms around. Lots of choices. 3. Your…

Why would that make you want to quit and give up? Turn that stuff into motivation to keep going. Give up, gain more weight, feel more bad? Only you can motivate yourself.

Without your diary being open, let's throw out the usual questions: Weighing all solids and semi-solids using a food scale? How you are you measuring any calorie burns for exercise and how much are you eating back? If you've only been counting calories again recently, how long has it been, and what exactly is the problem?
-
I didn't find it shaming at all. Look around, there are people convinced they are medical miracles and that they barely eat and are gaining weight. That show is quite empathetic and kind. And it's the most reality I've seen in the genre in a long time. Sometimes the truth needs to be told.
-
You need to tell her, very clearly, that to deal with your medical condition you must have a ready supply of certain foods available. If she would like to eat them, she needs to let you know which things she will be eating so you can buy ample quantities. Or alternatively, the entire kitchen is filled with ONLY the foods…

People will always be jerks, to various people, for various reasons. People like that don't matter.
-
Age? Height? Current weight? Goal weight? How many calories are you eating, and how are you measuring them? I see you're new here, so how have you been tracking calories?
-
Yep, absolutely, in grams.

I log about 12 calories in black coffee each day. I choose to log it because a lot of little things with very few calories can add up. Same reason I use a food scale.
