  • My way of measuring, using scale and logging as always allowed me to lose weight when I wanted, and maintain when I wanted. For years, and by «years» I mean over 25 years (including getting my weight as low as 120 lbs). Except for the past 4 - 6 weeks where I did not change a single thing . I put a lot of context in the OP…
  • kshama2001: you are trolling me, surely. ;) Or you did not read my initial post and subsequent replies? I put my diary back to private. It was a bad idea to make it public since I don't want and certainly don't need basic advice on how to weight / log food. Sorry, and thank you for your comments.
  • [/quote] If you are within healthy BMI range ( according to post upthread) and keep that weight, would that be a bad thing? Maybe along with unrealistic rate of loss expectation, you also have unrealistic expectations of the right weight for you? [/quote] I stayed under 130 all of my life - I am 50 - except for the past…
  • I certainly can, but if someone posts that goddam chart, I'll scream, I am not in a mood to be asked if I know how a kitchen scale works or to be told that I don't eat enough (which always happen whenever someone eats below 1200), or to be told that I should eat 100% clean. My health is very good, I have regular check up…
  • I already know that I maintain at 1200 - 1500. Above 1500, I gain. (Thanks to years of dieting). Anyway I am now very careful and do not want to "play around" too much. This is why I am trying to learn as much as I can about IF before trying it out, because I don't want to make things even worst.
  • I know. I wanted to know what was the experience of those who tried IF, stopped, and went back to eating at any time of the day. Did they notice a weight increase, as if the body reacted to the change? Thank you.
  • It means start eating at maintenance (ie 1200 to 1500 cals/day), and keep the same weight.
  • Calorie counting is the easiest for me. It's the most flexible, as you can eat any type of food, and this is what I need. Now, with CICO .... The science says that it is the only way to lose weight ... until it does not work anymore (ie when you are in a weight loss stall and/or plateau >:) ) But sarcasm aside, I don't…
  • I try not to come here often - I spend so much time and energy on losing weight as it is right now. I just needed to vent and had to say: try to avoid the yo-yo at all cost! Also, to be honest, reading all the success stories is making me feel even worst about my own situation ... :( (And I feel bad for feeling that way,…
