Nah - just go into it knowing you're healthier from diet and exercise - and then you'll see what a difference it makes in your results. :)

Weight loss is not linear. You will have ups and downs on the scale due to water retention - this could be due to difficult workouts, sodium intake, restroom habits, or hormones. You can't control these. This can amount to POUNDS of increase some days - not merely ounces. Seriously, you are going to have to get used to the…

I learned that: a) being too restrictive works for a while, helps you lose weight, but causes a bigger backlash (weight gain) when you inevitably "fall off the wagon" b) we will all make mistakes and one mistake doesn't mean you should throw your hands up and say "forget it" and eat all the food in preparation for…

There's a book by Judith Beck called, "How to Think Like a Thin Person." It gets to the bottom of behaviors that thin people have and that we can all learn. I enjoyed it and read it several times. I still do some of the behaviors that it teaches.

@nikkit321 I had this happen every time I ate GF pizza until I realized I was also lactose intolerant. Apparently, they're related, and the cheese was bothering me. Also, there tends to be lot of cross contamination in pizza places. Hope this helps. Sherry

I'd go heavier on the chicken for protein - it's more satisfying and will keep you fuller longer. I'm a 140 pound female and I eat 6-7 ounces of chicken per meal. You could easily go 8 (225g).

I cannot control myself around cashews. They are just TOO good. So, I have roasted salted almonds. Every day. And I love them, but I can stop after eating the allotted amount. I find myself sneaking cashews.
-
I also look at protein and fat as minimums. I don't pay any attention to carbs.

LOL - I read somewhere that it's 1 calorie per burpee. I remember, because it feels like so much more than that!!! Really, I have no idea where I read it or if it's accurate.

I just stick with butter.

Two pounds a week loss puts you at 2600. You have "room" to go a little lower, but I definitely wouldn't do 1600. You want this to be sustainable. I'd say 2100 (personal opinion). That's three pounds per week and should still give you enough food to be sustainable.

I have found them to be accurate for me.

I have noticed this "fake consistency" issue and gotten rid of a scale because of it. I have a $30 Weight Watchers scale that I love. It doesn't have the fake consistency issue.

You are pretty close to me, geographically. I have been doing CF for a year and a half.
-
Do you weigh your food?
-
Yes - 0.5 pound per week works - with careful logging and weighing of food. You also have to be patient with the scale, as your losses won't be as fast or evident sometimes.
-
You look great. Food scale is a must.
-
Food scale and more patience. :)

This shows about 15 pounds difference - along with strength training.
-
The only answer is to reduce body fat overall - are you still losing?
-
Not helping - but I've also noticed that after even one drink, I'll wake up early with the same issue - SO thirsty and hard to go back to sleep. I have no idea why. I don't drink much anyway, but this has kept me from drinking anything lately.

True - this site isn't for teens. But as a parent, I would probably start in the middle somewhere - maybe 1,800 calories for a couple of weeks and see if she is losing.

It's tough if you didn't prepare the meal. I would just look for a semi-equivalent restaurant version and log that. If it doesn't happen every single day, then it will be fine.

I hope all of this wonderful advice is helpful! I have always wanted to love running, tried to love running, and now finally accept that I'm always going to hate it. I still do run, and I'm getting better at it, but I just do not like it. I do CrossFit, so runs are only a small part of the workout most days.
