Your first week or two you will usually lose higher amounts due to water weight. After that it will slow down drastically. Depending on how much you have to lose you should aim for 1-2 pounds per week. Personally I lost 10 pounds my first week then one or two after that. Now I'm down to .5-1 per week.

Nope

Toledo!

Personally I plan ahead for at least 300 calories for evening snacking. This is when I'm hungry so this is when I eat. And I make sure I choose snacks that will leave me feeling satisfied.

Sugar free pudding snack packs :)

I doubt you are gaining muscle on 1400 calories a day. Not sure why your numbers aren't changing though.

Personally I save 300ish calories for nighttime snacks. Those usually include ice cream.

Then, to me at least, that would be a successful day.

Are you logging everything? Your choices weren't bad choices. Looks like a fairly balanced day. You may be dehydrated though. Try drinking some water or tea and try to stop thinking about the "hunger".

That sounds like a great day! Nothing to be ashamed of! What are your calorie goals?

Your body doesn't know the time of day :) Enjoy!

I purposely save 200-300 calories for nighttime because I know I will be hungry. It's when I like to eat! Plan ahead for that snack!

Eh...it's one day. I doubt you're over your maintenance with only being 500 over. So you won't GAIN. Except possibly some temporary water weight. Today is a new day so try again! Don't try to "make up for it" today.

Glad it worked for you. When I did low-carb I was STARVING all the time!!!!

Neither. Just eat a balanced diet, try to stick to your macros, and hit your calorie goal. No need to cut certain foods/groups.

My absolute favorite for working out is Fuel by MetallicA

Absolutely!

I am 183 set to 1lb a week and I eat 1500.

You would need to be at a deficit of 3500 per WEEK not per day.

10 days is not long enough for a plateau. Weight loss is not linear. You'll have some weeks where you don't lose and some weeks where you do. Just be patient and keep on keepin on!

Down 1 this week! I had been lazy with my eating and closer to maintenance thus the stall on the scale. The end of the school year always does that to me (LOTS of treats and celebrations!) I'm realizing I probably won't hit my goal, but I'm going to get as low as I can! At least getting back into the mid-170's would be…

I tried the 1200 thing for awhile but was always hungry. I switched it to 1500 plus any workout and find I am still steadily losing. (5'7" female 183lb)

I'm weighing in tomorrow, but I'm nervous. I've had some bad eating days this week I have a feeling I'll be at maintenance for the second week in a row. Lots of celebrations at the end of the school year!!! But I'm hanging in there and keeping on keeping on. Had an AWESOME workout today at the gym!!

Honestly I think it's a bit of overkill, exercise-wise. Especially just starting out. Get in one good workout a day and you will be fine. As for herbalife, I don't see a need for them. Just eat good whole foods, log everything, and stay within your daily limits. If you like the shakes, go for it, but they're definitely not…

Heck no! I love cake! Go you!

Looking at your diary, if you are truly trying to "detox" from the added sugars, you need to get rid of more. You have had at least 2 types of sugary cereals as well as added white sugar to smoothies and coffee. I understand the compulsion. I personally include sweets in moderation, but it took time for me to learn how to…

It's not a diet. It's the foundation of MFP. Basically you burn more calories than you take in.

Week 1: 184 Week 2: 185.5 I ate pretty freely while off work and at home on Spring Break and bloated quite nicely. I was actually up to 187 at one point. I'll take the 185.5 and continue heading in the right direction. I know, while I was over, I was not over enough to gain actual pounds. I just need to get the sodium and…
