I like cheat meals that still fit within daily calories. So say you burn 2600 calories and you eat less than 2600 calories of any food you like for that day only. That’s what I do 🙂

I think if you’re eating a reasonable deficit it doesn’t matter how fast you lose since you’re doing it the healthy way. Some people lose 3-5lb a week for a month or two when they start and I think that’s fine. If they’re not cutting to 800-1200 calories or some other low number inappropriate for THEM and making sure to…

While a lot of people say you can’t spot reduce, and that’s true you can target specific muscles with weight training. For example, after you have dropped all the fat you possibly can, then following up with weighted ab exercises and vacuums you could shrink your stomach over time. There are a lot of ncbi research articles…

I’m not trying to lose although I have been slightly. However, my mom is on a diet right now and so are some friends. They’ve all sworn by a cheat day to break through a plateau. I think it seems legit. One day off eating what you want, but in reasonable portions, then get back on track and woosh :)

I’m gonna go against what other people are saying here. Yes, congrats on 10lbs , but a 9lb fluctuation is significantly above the 5lb normal amount to fluctuate by. Please see a doctor and make sure your hormones and everything level wise is all good!

I have gained 10lb in a day and then lost it the next day... 2lb is nothing.

I’m here for it.

Thanks everyone!! These are all super helpful. I have ignored the MFP recommendation and worked off what works for me as someone else had said. It is scary though when this app tells me after completing a diary that I will gain 10lb in 5 weeks... and I end up maintaining. I don’t want to gain and become overweight but I’m…

Also just realized I didn’t specify but I did set my profile to “active” on here. :)

I’ve almost never had any.. however when I gained ten pounds I noticed some on my upper thighs and below my butt. After cutting added sugar and weight lifting it’s gone for me. I think for anyone to say it’s impossible to get rid of it isn’t fair, since that’s not true for everyone. I got rid of mine.

I’m 5’10” and a 4 at that weight.

I’m 5’10”, female and 140-147lb weight range and small framed and have tons of muscle and I can EASILY eat 5-7k in a day. I have probably ate 10k before. It’s possible. I’m much smaller than you and have done it. Edit: saw your below comment on 5k so I agree with the 5k and actually I’m not sure about 10k... I think I…

I’ve had 10k or 5k calorie cheat days. I’ve ate a large pizza and some dessert or similar in one day plus other normal meals. I never gained any weight from my cheat days long term. Short term for about 2-4 days I’d be up 0-6lb. I also measure my body fat regularly and never gained body fat from my cheat days either. That…

Whatever you can do is good honestly. I’ve seen recommendations to work out every other day when starting out so as to prevent injury and warm yourself up to the point where you can go more frequently. I try to go at least 5 times a week but sometimes I go less and sometimes I go twice in a day, depending on schedules. I…

I have a standard but beautiful glass Taylor scale. It has a bright blue led light with big numbers so you can even use it in the dark! For ~30 bucks I feel it’s more than good enough for me! No bf % or weight tracking, but if I wanted those things I’d spring for a DEXA scan and I have this app for tracking weight :)

Oops quoted wrong person

I’m either 5’9” or 5’10” and since I have a ton of muscle I’m usually between 15-20% BF which puts me at size 2 anything below 143 ish. From 125lb to 140lb I stay in size 0 or 2. Right now im a size 4 and I weigh 150. My waist is only 26 inches and this is the most I’ve ever weighed.

I’ve heard this stat before! I’m 5’10” and my heaviest weight was 150. It’s hard for me to fathom being the “average” weight. Then again I’m 20, have a high metabolism and eat all the time.

I used to only ever drink black coffee ( which I still love). Now sometimes I use a little creamer in my coffee. I don’t eat any sweets or snack so this is the only bad habit I have. So no I’m not giving it up.

I’m in 😄

I’m not obese and I lose about 2-3 lb a week so 10lb in a month is doable for me. I’m all on board for a ten pounds by Valentine’s Day challenge though 🥰

Well week one for me was -4.2lb. I didn’t weigh the week of my period the week before this one. Only 5.8 more lb to go! 2.9 ish lb a week 😬

I planned on weighing in this Saturday for the first time... well my period is about to start.... I’ll see and if it has started I usually don’t report the week of shark week. I can always post a big loss the next week if that does happen 🥳

NO! To be honest I saw a lady at my job logging a holiday party on myfitness and I felt so sorry for her. I could never do that to myself. I take breaks when needed.

I’m starting today, December 1. This means I have one month to lose 10 pounds. I know this is somewhat aggressive. If I don’t hit that goal I will be happy with any progress made. I will post my loss next week. See you guys next Saturday 🥰

I never need to cheat because I let myself always have what I want. Luckily for me I usually want healthy foods. The only time I go without foods I want is when I’m on a cut and I do 1200 calories for two weeks and only eat vegetables, egg whites, and fish. I haven’t done one of those in a while and if I do one in the near…

Only a month now.. but I’m in. I’d like to lose 10lb by Christmas. 🎄

I book a float session! Or I take a bubble bath 🧼

Just posting again to say anyone can add me too! 🎉

I lose much faster than the prediction it gives me and maintain when it says I will gain...
