Thanks everyone. I did wonder at one point, "could they mean LBM," because that seemed more logical; but I only came across one mention of it, so I wondered which was correct. I guess body builders assume only other already fit people are going to be reading and listening to the info. They rarely talk about obese people…

No I have not been completely sedentary for the last 3 months. Apart from this last week, I have been seeing a trainer and exercise 3-4 times a week. I didn't mean for it to sound like I was throwing in the towel just because my weight loss was too slow. I just felt I needed to take the week off to reevaluate. I am still…

Someone just mentioned this to me. I had no idea it was a thing. But I looked it up, and it is. I don't personally understand weighing ones self daily, or stressing about a pound or two, because fluctuation is normal.

Thanks Lietchi, I will read up on that. I don't want to say I am perfect or anything, but I believe I am calculating very accurately. I am not a snacker/graze-eater by nature, so it wasn't that hard.

It is called Monitor Your Weight. I don't like the weight loss graph in MFP, so I got this one just to use their graph... I suspect it is a little off as I have never put in my measurements like the Navy fat estimator thing asks for. But I also literally did not exercise for over 6 years prior to 3 months ago. I work from…

Thanks everyone for your input. I am afraid I still don't understand it. But I was considering the numbers and did notice something interesting. I have been eating a 1200 calorie diet for 7 weeks now. I know it is low, but I wanted the 1000 calorie deficit to lose 2 lbs per week. I take a vitamin supplement, and on the…
