Thank you. I am happy to adjust and try for 1 pound a week rather than 2, just as long as I do see some loss - by loss I mean less the scale and more my clothing fitting / reduction in size.

Thank you so much - I will definitely keep going

Thanks so much

Interesting re juice! I will try & thanks

No

Hi, about 9 days

Hello everyone I am weighing everything; I then check the calories and log it. I would say allowing for any errors, I eat 1500 calories per day. I calculated 1743 for maintenance, and so I thought consuming 1500 would lead to loss. I do not always get 10000 steps in, but I work out 6 times per week; 2-3 of those days I do…

Thanks but I am now 3 lbs heavier than last week

I really hope so - thanks for the support! Feeling so demoralised - every day it creeps up! Like today and yesterday I was WELL under 1400 calories consumed, I went for walks and I worked out... but still the gain!!! Grrrrr

I’m not sure I have understood you, sorry!

I have happy scale and it shows slow gain over two weeks

Thanks everyone. I am going to keep at the workouts and also track the calories vigilantly. If it’s still the same in a week then I dunno what I will do!

I don’t include them in my calorie count, because I am aiming to lose weight. So what I do is set the calorie goal at 1400 on the basis that I should have 1500 but may under estimate things by accident. The workouts are all low impact so I would estimate I burn 100-180 per session, but as I say, I don’t include them. God I…

See above - thanks :-)

I am weighing everything on a scale - and I log it straight away. I also always round up. I check the calories on MFP but also on the packets to make sure I’m right.

I answered above - thoughts welcome

Hi - yes I am 40, 5’3”, 179 lbs, female I am definitely entering correctly - I check and double check everything

Hiya, it’s a mixture of cardio and resistance. A lot of standing HIIT and other low impact but high intensity work. I’m definitely staying within calories although I know I have more carbs than protein which I need to address.

Hi, I’m doing a mixture of cardio and resistance. I think I don’t get enough protein but I do definitely stick to no more than 1400 calories (goal is 1500 but I leave 100 margin for error). I am in week 4. I do notice more muscle but I’m worried about bulking up without slimming down. Any thoughts?

Feel free to ad me too!!

Same - add me

This is sooooo me. I would like to join this group if possible?

I would be interested. I am also frustrated; I lost 10 lbs in lockdown, felt great and then got stressed and ate it all back. I’m now trying to lose 1-2 pounds per week by working out and dieting

In and of itself it is just that: counting. But for me to weigh and measure everything means that I spend a lot of time trying to work out what’s in things I’ve cooked, which is time consuming, and also it does leave me anxious. So yes for me it can get obsessive.

When I was logging, I weighed and logged everything like you are supposed to. I lost. It’s when I don’t obsessive count and log that I gain.

Great! I will look it up - thanks

Hey! Thanks - I tried to add you but it wouldn’t let me. But if you want to be friends that would be great. I’m definitely in a similar situation! It’s very hard but we can cheer each other on

Yes it is set to lightly active - I am very immobile due to disability

I have decided to just assume it’s around 350g for 240g tinned chick peas (drained)

Blimey. Thanks but I have no idea what any of this means! But thanks anyway. I will just go by MFP as I find it more conservative in its estimates
