If your job is very physical you are possibly having low blood sugar. It might be worth looking at the macronutrient split of what you are eating. If you are feeling lightheaded your carb intake might be low. Your calories intake seems fine for dieting - but if you are feeling lightheaded you are maybe not having enough…

I find if im snacking - its because im not eating a filling meal. I make a pot of Chilli and eat half and use the other half for next days lunch or dinner. I pretty much never want to snack at all after a dinner thats a large helping of chilli. 500g 5% fat pork mince. can of sweetcorn. can of kidney beans. can of chopped…

You might find it more filling if you replace the protein powder with an equivalent protein intake of Skyr. Personally i found the act of eating a significant amount of Skyr helps with satiety.

@Jthanmyfitnesspal - yes in kg. Had a 2 week period where it felt nothing was happening. Then a fall. The slope is not always at the same gradient - but it is downhill.
-
I had the same feeling - for about 2 weeks no movement - however it did finally shift and the long term trend is still a fairly consistent down. Messsage is - dont obsess over specific weights or even short periods - stick with it and it will pick up again.

Yers has happened every day - makes the calorie tracking and exercise tracking nearly useless
-
Its done it every day this week . really irritating
-
Skyr, or fat free greek yoghurt is high protein , fat free and ideal breakfast. Add fruits etc to taste.
-
I found it a huge struggle to fit 3 meals into my meal rotation and fit the calories around all 3. I stopped after trying Intermittent fasting and its suddenly easier to make the remaining 2 meals satisfying. On the high protein front - i have found fat free thick yoghurts like Skyr/fat free fage or Other Fat free Greeek…

I dont think the issue is with your calorie targets - on over time 1341 rest days and 1615 on workout days - at 73kg you should lose weight on either. You said there was binge eating. Thats likely the problem. Try and stick to your IF times. Establishing patterns is more beneficial long term than cutting calories in the…

How many calories are you eating a day? I aim at 1200 a day. I eat back between half and my full exercise calories as recorded by my Fit pro 2, depending on how i feel. Normally its half. If i feel im having a particularly hard day ill let myself eat them all. It motivates me to keep up the exercise as well as do the…

Lost 6kg in the first 2 weeks and its been about 1.5 kg a week since. Which is a mix of calorie restriction, 16:8 intermittent fasting and a hell of a lot of walking. Its not been that hard from an eating perspective, ive pretty much just cut out snacking and drinking and im eating filling meals. Intermiitent fasting just…

1.MFP - calorie counting. 2.Digital scale to weigh food for accurate tracking. 3.Twice daily walking routine & activity tracker with targets 4.Daily weigh in and charting first thing in morning. 5.Dieting in concert with partner who is on a similar journey

IMHO the main benefit of Intermittent fasting is its effect on your habits. It forces you to adopt new eating habits and restricts the amount of time you think about snacking. Its hard to do that but once the new behaviors become a habit - it reduces the amount of snacking. That habit alone makes sticking to diet plans…

Protein supplements can help with maintaining nutrient macros. But be careful - fully replacing a meal rather than supplementing nutritional needs can lead to feeling of hunger - and additional snacking. You might be better with replacing some of the snacks with a protein shake instead of replacing a meal.
-
Trackers sometimes include base metabolic energy - MFP in settings has a section asking our general activity level. If you chose active its building in a higher base metabolic rate - and adding all your fitbit exercise on top means some of the excercise is effective counted twice. If you are adding exercise i find it…

Im 55 started at 106kg - currently at 96kg after 35 days. Im eating 1200cals /day and eating 3/4 of my exercise back. Most days i stick to this but i will allow myself to exceed it up to about 1500cal plus 3/4 exercise at a pinch. First 2 weeks were very fast weight loss (watter loss)- and since then its stabilised at…

28 days - from 105 to 98kg intermittent fasting 16:8 Logging everything, Targeting 1200 cal , eating back exercise. Increased my protein Intake.

How is this thread still going?
-
Yes - I was doing about 6-8000 steps a day and wanted to take it up a notch, did 4 days of 16000 steps and it was fine till day 4 - no muscle pain but knees really started to feel painful. Ive dialed it back and am going to increase slowly now.
-
Daily after my morning dog walk. I prefer to weigh daily rather than weekly - as weekly creates too high an expectation for me thats a significant upset if theres not as much loss as id want. Daily means I watch trends and one bad day is easily forgotten about.
-
Last time I seriously dieted I started every day with Skyr and porridge. This time i dont eat before 1pm as im intermittent fasting 16:8
-
Heard about the Wheel of Time Tv series coming in Nov - decided to refresh myself on the first few books of the series. I started book 5 yesterday - suspect im just going to read the whole series again.
-
yes - ive been dieting for the last month doing 16:8. I skip breakfast and only eat after my lunchtime walk with the dog. The first week was quite hard with definite feelings of low energy, but week 2 I started to feel pretty good and the new eating patterns started to feel normal. Its totally stopped my all day grazing…
-
I weight every day first thing in the morning. Individual days dont bother me but the trends are what i watch.
-
When im peckish I try and avoid my old favorites which were calorie dense nuts. These days i generally have half a pot of Skyr. A half pot is 175g and ~100calories. Its filling enough to kill any hunger pangs and tasty enough to be a treat.
-
A handful of cashews - 1200 calories.
-
The app will be suggesting 1500 and will assume you eat back your exercise. If you are assuming you dont log your activity there could be a huge discrepancy between the suggested deficit level and the actual deficit.
-
Every morning after shower and body functions.- naked weight. Official progress marker is normally Sunday Morning as the weekly marker.

In the UK they are speed regulated to 15mph at which point the assist cuts out. Untill i lost weight I was struggling with my commute to work and was either going to stop cycling or buy an ebike to make the hills less of a strain on my bad knee. In the end hummed and hawed about the expense and lost 20kg instead. Im…
