OP your BMR might be affected by any number of conditions, since you won't be able to dip below 1200 calories on a given day I would highly suggest getting a heart rate monitor to accurately calculate your calorie burn so that you know you're not under exercising and overeating your exercise calories.

Ah I see you're a Keto fanatic, that explains everything actually. Now please go on your merry way while we try to talk real sense and science into OP. Thank you :)

I'm not sure why you're getting so hostile, I also find it hilarious you seem to think I believe you're ignorant when I never said anything of the sort. I'm glad you've studied Kinesiology, it's good to educate yourself. Regardless I've studied Biology and Physics which govern all living beings. So kindly explain to me,…

Actually OP said earlier she hasn't lost any weight since June of last year.

But why does it make a difference? I've lost 23 lbs, there are multiple nights a week I eat and 15 minutes later go to bed. How can you explain that?

How is this possible? Did you get your BMR tested?

I'm not trying to discount your experience but 9lbs of water weight is understandable with your condition. 100 lbs of water weight? I find that a lot harder to believe. With that much water weight she'd be in the hospital with edema, that much fluid retention is life threatening.

It's possible your diary entries might be incorrect then, most of the entries in the database are user added meaning a good portion of them are horrendously wrong. For example: This entry is from the MFP database and it's wrong. This is from the USDA Database, and it's right. Edit: Edited for clarity.

This actually drives me mad because I worked the night shift for 2 *kitten* years and I was skinny, I've been losing weight even eating at 1 in the morning. Time literally doesn't matter.

Seattlegirl25 I feel your frustration, I was in your same boat. Exercising like mad, eating right and still my weight would barely budge. It all came down to realizing that I was still eating at maintenance to meet the needs of my body. Please know that no one is trying to attack you, we all want you to succeed. Take the…

How low was your BMR with I'm guessing untreated hypothyroidism? Based on how much you say you gained during the course of 4.5 months you would need to be eating 2500 calories over your TDEE to gain that much that quickly. Clearly there was no deficit present, Hypothyroidism can't create matter out of thin air. Anyone here…

Lentils can still pack a lot of calories if you eat too much. Do you weigh your food on a food scale OP?

2lbs a month is still progress, you haven't had any in 6 months despite working out and logging which leads a lot of us to think the issue is more than likely your food diary entries.

I started with 83, now with 60lbs to lose this year. I'm hoping to lose at least 50 by December so fingers crossed I get there with no major derailments. Like many here I gained over the course of several years, it crept up so slowly that before I knew it I was obese with a BMI of 34. But I've lost 23 so far, so can you.…

Kriss actually has a post with the USDA Database for food logging that will really help you immensely with logging correctly OP. I've got it linked below. https://ndb.nal.usda.gov/ndb/search/list

Genetics will not prevent someone from losing weight if a deficit is present, medical conditions will not prevent someone from losing weight if a deficit is present. If she's not losing weight there is no deficit present. Her BMR might be making it difficult for her to achieve that deficit but it's still the only thing she…

It most likely is water retention but if you still don't see any change after a few more weeks you might wanna take a look at your logging. What rate of loss are you trying to do? 1/2 lb, 1lb, 2lbs? With 1300 BMR you're not gonna have a lot of wiggle room to be inaccurate, not saying that you are, but it's important to…

Best advice: Start lifting immediately, especially when in a deficit to preserve muscle mass and lose more fat. Worst advice: Drink apple cider vinegar to lose weight, cut carbs to lose weight, calories don't matter. The list is endless and stupid.

Nature fact: if we took every elephant in the world and laid them end to end into space, they would die.

Mine are starting to get there, I noticed the other day how they felt a lot roomier than they usually are.

I laughed way too hard at this!

Well it depends, do you have the money to spend way too much on grass fed meat? If so go ahead, if not don't. You can be expensive and lose weight, you can be cheap and lose weight. It's all about the deficit, doesn't matter what you eat.

Hell yeah! Climbing=strength training But seriously though, I'd carry a *kitten* ladder around if I needed to. Doesn't matter to me how short or tall someone is. Love is what matters.

I just don't get OP's obsession with tall girls, who cares how tall the person you're dating is?

You're right, I was stuck in that cycle for the longest time hating myself for not being able to lose the weight. It wasn't until I found MFP, and a few other sites that I'm not sure I can mention on here that I finally realized what was holding me back. For those who are struggling like I was just google "You're fat…

We're not hurt, we're concerned. What's she's doing is only temporary, as OP herself admitted she's only doing it for 90 days. But what about after those 90 days when she goes back to eating the exact same way that caused her to gain 40 lbs in the first place? She'll likely start the 90 day detox again, gain and lose the…

Lol at this whole *kitten* thread!!! :D Edit: Literally 1000% sure this was a waitress at a strip club.

1. Whenever is convenient for you, although some would recommend drinking a protein shake after a workout to help with muscle recovery. 2.You don't really have to, I know some who do but they're runners and don't wanna crap their pants first thing in the morning so they eat after their run. 3. Confused by this question,…
