Yes!

I totally agree, but a difference of hundreds of calories? Seems kind of crazy to me. I do trust my Fitbit more though because of the hr monitoring.

Actually, imbalances in your estrogen, testosterone, progesterone, androgen, cortisol, thyroid, or insulin hormones can very definitely cause someone to not lose weight despite the supposed CI/CO being right. It's hard for people who've never experienced it to understand. Yes, science is real, but calorie science isn't the…

The healthiest, longest-living populations on earth consistently eat around 15% of their calories from protein. Excess protein in the diet is also associated with problems with your kidneys, liver, and bones-not to mention heart disease, cancer, bad breath, constipation, weight gain, systemic inflammation etc. A caveat is…

Exactly why I said I will be visiting my physician, because CI are accounted for. CO are a mystery and my weight *should* be going down. I asked if there were anything I might be missing, but there is apparently nothing, so I will seek help elsewhere. I know how science and calories work. I'm not new to this and I am…

I agree. I don't tend to sugar coat much of anything... :smile: Thank you

I track things in my diary that are private so I won't be making it public. Maybe I will find a way to share it through screen shots with someone encouraging in the future. Thanks for all the responses and suggestions!

I've been here for years but haven't ever taken advantage of the community tab. I'd love some positive, inspiring, encouraging friends.

Hey, thanks again for your input! I meticulously measure food and calories and don't need to be told the obvious. I asked, in my original post, for any *non obvious* things I might be missing. I have been using this app and tracking food and exercise for years. I guess it was my mistake for asking for creative responses…

I see this is an older post but I'm here! I am celiac and have to avoid dairy and eggs apart from gluten. I also avoid red meat and oats. So I'm a plant based celiac who occasionally eats chicken or fish. This diet has cured all my ills, proven by lab results.

Humans don't need nearly as much protein as people think. 🤷🏻♀️😬😬😬

I'm not 100% vegan, but I'm 99%. Can I come in? 🙋🏻♀️

I just posted this same issue and basically got told that I'm logging my calories wrong... I do think being older, especially as a woman, can complicate things. I'm having to workout harder, eat less and be hungrier. I will tell you, years ago, when I had an autoimmune disease and some food allergies diagnosed, as soon as…

You are right there. Apart from daily walks I hadn't been working out seriously for the previous two years. Except when I joined the gym in March and promptly had to quit... Maybe a slight improvement in shape and clothing. But still. It's been months! So frustrating. I am switching days of weights/resistance, yoga, HIIT,…

Well. Thanks for the replies. I am a woman. I have five kids and successfully lost twenty pounds after the fourth doing what I'm doing now so not sure what exactly is going on. I have years of experience counting calories, working out (at the gym, in a group, at home, alone, with husband.... All the ways.) Intermittent…
