You will get there. How do your clothes feel on you now? Are they any looser? Have you tried putting on smaller clothes you couldn't fit into before? Also, how baggy are the clothes in your picture? Baggy clothes can mask the shape of your body. Don't forget that you can be losing fat from around your organs, and the place…

While I'm sure we can all agree there are lots of angles to the wider discussion that could be held around cat calling. I'm not sure why people have decided to turn this into a battle of the genders when this was just a thread about someone's negative experience and them trying to make sense of it. It's not cool for people…

listen to what MFP says and follow it. Make sure your logging is right so now guessing what you eat (eg 1 spoon, 1 cup, 1 handful) And remember everything counts. All drinks unless they are 0 calorie, all food, everything. If you are under maintenance you will always lose.
-
Only calories matter so if its the same or less calories/ still under maintenance you will be fine.
-
Not sure how different your advice would be from you to me as its 2am where I am.
-
What other thread? ;) (to be clear I didn't delete it, it went by the mods)
-
Go with the gender you were born with until your transition is full
-
I followed up on your response there
-
Ignore it for a week as best as you can and it will fade
-
5000 calories over that is
-
No you got it right :smile: I just mean that both for people that have always been thin they will find it easier to maintain their weight while thin, as well as while I don't mean it will be easy for someone that has lost weight to maintain it, maintaining weight is easier than the process of losing it as you no longer…

We know what to do because we learned it in order to lose weight. We are still learning. That's why we are on here. Losing weight is harder than maintaining weight and many of us have to work on breaking life long habits. If someone was raised to eat unhealthily its going to take a lot of will power to unlearn these…

Yeah you could have a diet consisting of nothing but a bag of sugar and still lose weight. Of course you would be crazy to eat nothing but pure sugar but still, you can lose weight doing it so long as you stay under your calories. Only calories matter for weight loss. Whats healthy is a different matter :tongue:

Last week I was up 6 lbs for the whole week for no real reason. Got on the scales yesterday and I was 1 lb under what I was before the scales shot up by 6 lbs. Fluctuations in weight happen. Perhaps you're eating more salt than you used to. Perhaps your digestive system is a bit backed up at the moment. For women time of…

I don't log a thing. Never have. I've lost 35 lbs since starting losing weight and am now BMI 22.9. Hoping to lose another 8 lbs to get to BMI 21.6. So for me counting in my head works just fine. But for others it could be a problem staying on goal without logging things. It's all about what works for the individual. If…

When I was at my slimmest a few years back my face had lost too much fat but the rest of my body hadn't. It was starting to look like I was sick. The curse of being a male with large cheekbones.
-
Those must have been 2 really strong drinks :astonished:
-
Soylent Green is people!!!
-
Are you sure you are standing on them properly/ in the same way each time? If you are consistantly getting the correct weight from putting weights on it then its likely the issue. But if you are sure you are doing nothing differently then I would certainly check the batteries before getting new scales.
-
Well that depends. You can weigh daily and log it to take the average over time, you can weigh weekly which will show bigger differences that weighing daily but can have the downside of seeing gains as your weight naturally fluctuates because of such things as water weight and undigested food, and less often such as every…

Shave a few hundred calories over the week for the weekend and scrap the mentality of weekends are a free for all but instead for the extra calories that you saved for yourself.
-
I'm not sure how possible it is for you. I would follow what MFP tells you and remember that any less is a good loss.
-
You can't target areas to lose fat. The fat comes off from all over the body and there is no way to control where it goes from. It can be annoying when other than one part of your body you are happy with how you look but for the most part it is a good thing. Imagine how silly people would look if targeting areas was…
-
You can do it and it wouldn't be that hard but it wouldn't be the healthy way to lose weight. I'm not going to say to restrict your calories below healthy levels but its pretty much the way you would have to do it to lose it in time. Really you have to decide what is more important to you. Your health or the money that it…
-
It doesn't. It has nothing at all to do with my reasons that I started losing weight which is why I did not appreciate you questioning my reasons to lose weight just because I did not like seeing stretch marks. I have not stopped my diet because of them nor would I let them. I do not see how the two are related.
-
I disagree. What would you call the right reasons? The reason I started losing weight was I had 1 pair of trousers left that I could fit into and and worn holes in the thighs of half my other trousers. I hardly think losing weight because you no longer fit into nearly all of your clothes is the wrong reason to lose weight.…

You can still celebrate the way you used to so long as you don't find reasons to celebrate every other week.

This is the website I was using. http://www.calculator.net/calorie-calculator.html?ctype=standard&cage=27&csex=m&cheightfeet=5&cheightinch=10&cpound=278&cheightmeter=180&ckg=60&cactivity=1.2&printit=0&x=90&y=20 Its strange because this website and the one you used, giving both my stats I get almost the same number.
-
Personally I agree with not eating back the calories from exercising because if it didnt add to my weight loss I would not do it. But I only go to the gym 2 times a week and don't spend more than half an hour there at a time. How much do you work out? Burning a few hundred extra calories a week is no big deal but if you're…
-
Okay so it looks like that if you have a sedentary lifestyle 2500 would be around the point that you would maintain at. I would drop my calorie intake to 2000 a day to lose 1 lb a week. Would you say you have an active lifestyle? Also is 2500 the number MFP gave you?
