1. Eat enough calories. (if you got too low you will actually lose the same amount as if you ate more because of slowing of the metabolic rate). 2. Eat Protein. .5 Grams per lb of body weight daily. 3. Move your feet as much as possible. Clean while watching tv. walk up and down the stairs a few times an hour... 4. Sleep…

I had one of the above mentioned stalls this week and zigged up 4 lbs with little change in habits. I'm almost back to my low point. Hopefully in a few days i'll be at a new low and the drops stay steady for a while. I have about 12 weeks until my next flight to see my lady, I would love to be off 40 lbs from the last…

When i got home yesterday I looked at the bottle. It has 3 or so ounces left and i've done about 6 cooks with the sauce so probably only using 2 ounces each time. Way less that i thought. So 5 to 6 servings 2000/5 is 400 mg of sodium a serving. That is way less then what i'm logging. The light soy will be fine and the…

This is still making me laugh. I'm glad i'm logging stuff and thinking about it. I now know that i need to cut back on soy sauce and add water to replace it. My girlfriend is helping me learn some recopies over video. She is "you didn't tell me it was salty". Well hell You told me to submerge THE pork in soy sauce.... lol.

You are both correct. I serving of ss is a TS. I'm using way more than that but the whole bottle is like 20 ounces so i'm not using 2 cups either. It is the base of the sauce but i'll measure it on next cook and sub for half the sauce i used. Salt not cooking off is valid. I should have thought of that. Looking it up…

@AnnPT77 Good replies. I get board at work and started posting stuff. I try not to pretend to know more than I know and post crap that will mislead stuff. Exercise log Walk 4mph 45 mins 587 cal Just 6mp 30 mins 782 Run 10 mph 18 751 Dashing my own point. Joging and running actually burns almost 50 percent more calories…

I can tell you for me that it has 100 percent changed everything in my life giving up on beer. I was drinking about 36 beers a week though so that is 2 LBs a week/or 1 KG a week towards maints all by itself. If you arent like me you can toss in a random beer or wine here and there though. A cup of red wine now and then is…

If they did you could aways use them for smoothies. Frozen fruit works great for that if you make them that is.

Hello Nina, Welcome to the journey. There are a lot of great resources pinned to the top of each area. Have a good day/night whereever you are, joe

If the scale isn't moving you either are not in deficit or: 1. You are retaining waste or water weight. 2. You have actually started building muscle. On average a person can gain 1-2 lbs of muscle a month through str training and diet. If your deficit is very low because you dont have much fat left to lose this can cause…

Explain what you mean. Your post is unclear as to what the issue is IMO.

My guess is treadmill. Elliptical will burn calories faster but you'll do the treadmill longer. It depends on you and a lot of factors but track your calorie burn. Your body will go for that stomach fast eventually.

1500 is considered a bare minimum for males. 1200 for females. Doctors advice is always best when starting any program. That said if without knowing you your height/weight goals seem reasonable. If you keep exercising and east enough protein I dont think you need to worry a lot about muscle loss. They aren't wrong that if…

Stalls happen. Stick to it. You arent gaining and that is a plus. Two weeks is about the longest i've had and it was related to Keto and not being in ketosis. Try a 24 hour water fast to cleanse maybe calorie up a bit before the fast. I'm not saying binge i'm just saying maybe hit your maint calories for the day and then…

Daily. When I wake up after going to the bathroom, naked. LOL.

Wow. That is great. Good job stick to it.

I came into this telling my girl to expect it to take a year or more to get to 250. 140 / 2 = 70. Faster then slower as your maint level decreases. Now i'm at 97 / 2 or 49 after 9.5 weeks. I totally expect to have weeks where I gain a lb or stay even with no change so over time the average will come out to that 16 months…
-
Just to be contrary, lol. What do you think about being less efficient increases calorie burn. Could it be that your husbands heart rate raises slower and tops out at a lower rate for the same run? However, because I dont know much TBH. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/326002

Technically drinking black coffee or unsweet tea will slightly increase your deficit. It is so small that the amount needed to make a real difference would be way worse on your health though.

@AnnPT77 I hear ya. i'm averaging .6 lbs a day right now. So .6 x 7 is 4.2 a week. It is a bit fast. That is what food logging always teaches me is that I'm going too low. It recommends 2800. for about 2 lbs a week. Really good food for thought. I'll remember to look back at this as I come down. When I was in my 20's and…

Being that low should only be done under doctor supervision. If you dont eat right you will lose fat but your body will also eat muscle. So there is a good chance you will lose weight but not the weight you want to lose. The best way to get there if you are small is increase protein and activity to help tell your body it…

6. When I dont log my food, I'm still in deficit. If I do not log I break my streak. That is part of starting to post here, to give me another reason to look at this site. Keep me on track.

Do it... do it. lol. I'm 53 and my sister passed away 7 or so years back. When that happened I realized I was just sitting around waiting for life to find me. Life never looks in your house for you. I promised that I would live for both of us and got at it. Don't wait for a big epiphany like like, just chose to live.

Hello tanya, This resource is solid. I've used it on and off for about 7 years with success. It wont fix bad habits and back sliding but it will help you make a plan and honestly assess what you are doing, if you use it correctly.

People talking about the 7 miles. You pretty much burn the same calories weather you walk, job, run or sprint the miles assuming they are not all at once. You just burn them faster sprinting. Most likely factors: 1. Water/ Waste that is building up. Once you expelled your weight adjusts down quickly. 2. Scale issue. all…

didn't mean to post here. dont see delete.

Your deficit is entirely about your resting metabolism. A rule of thumbs is weight x10 is your resting metabolism. 3500 calories plus or minus over time will gain or lose a lb. If you put in an accurate weight and age MFP will have your calories a bit below that and recommend -500 to 1000 calories for 1 to 2 lbs a week.…
