Agreed. Its just frustrating to see..

Me too!!

I still don't understand why the weight didn't come off this week. In the past the water weight from a night of drinking fell off after a couple days. Its a sobering thought to think I'm 3 lbs heavier today than I was last Friday because of ONE day.

So, on days I know I'll be drinking eat more protein than anything? I already eat a lot of eggs, but instead of eating them with toast add some lean meats and cheese? We eat a lot of chicken also.

This is copied from the article that was sited above: * For this day, restrict your intake of dietary fat to 0.3 g/kg body weight (or as close to this figure as possible). * Limit carbs to 1.5 g/kg body weight. Get all carbs from veggies and the tag-along carbs in some protein sources. Does this mean 0.3 g of body weight?…

Thank you for replying. You sound much like me. My husband and I like to have drinks on the weekends, play cards, video games, etc. just to relax and empty our brains of stress for the night. I've always gone along with what you're saying, which is why I don't understand why the weight stayed on. I exercised all week and…

I keep mine on all day (watch). Am I not supposed to do that?

What is TDEE? I cant wait to check this site out. Thank you!

This is helpful, thanks to everyone! I guess I forgot to mention I drink about a gallon of water a day (I track it) and I'm not on my period. I just started measuring late last week. I just dont understand why the things that used to work for me dont anymore. I've been doing this tae bo DVD 4 days a week for probably 4…

^^^^ This! Wow dude, NOT cool.

Feel free to add me! I just crawled back on last Monday. I really thought I could do it without the "hassle" of logging every single thing since I logged for so long I figured I knew what I was eating. Yeah right. That just makes it that much easier to lie to yourself... at least it was for me.

That's awesome!! Great job!

I'm sure my metabolism is a mess because I've been eating less than that for years. Sure I have "bad" weekends, but never more than a day or 2. I'll change from 2 lbs to 0.5 and see what happens. Thanks!

I keep hearing I'm not eating enough, but I just don't see it. Why would I lose weight when I don't work out and maintain or gain when I do? 1. I want to lose 20 pounds 2. 2 pounds 3. Yes, I think it is like 1490. I havent checked in a while. 4. I have been doing Tae Bo and stationary bike which equals about 510 calories,…

yes! I started eating close to my BMR this week and gained a pound. It started off to easy. Seems like the first 8 fell off for me, but now I'm all over the place trying to figure out how much to eat. Its getting frustrating and I'm losing the motivation to log. :(

I love this thread! Just when I think I have things figured out, I find more to learn. So, let me try and get this straight.... we want to eat our BMR on rest days, NOT the 1200 from MFP?? I've been so confused lately. 2 weeks ago I was suffering from a UTI and felt like crap so I did not work out all week, but still ate…

THANK YOU for the links!!

Lax, that is so awesome! Mind sharing a few recipes?

I have a feeling that with the fast food and some other processed foods you are eating a large amount of sodium, which obviously converts to water weight. Try staying away from fast food for a week and see how it goes. :)

I know for sure it isnt dehydration. I've been drowning myself in water to help with the UTI symptoms. I'm a Diet Cokeaholic and havent had one since Sunday, so I've been constantly carrying around my water bottle.

Boy isn't THAT the truth!! I stay away from bikinis more due to stretch marks than my body size. One trip to the beach and I'm convinced if "they" can wear one then so can I! ;)

No, I would not count coffee as part of your water intake, especially if you are drinking caffeinated coffee. Caffeine is a diuretic, which means it pulls excess water from your body and makes you pee it out.

You're right about it shutting off when its asleep, so it makes sense that it wouldn't be able to have an app that counted that stuff. What is a fitbit?

something that tracks how many calories you burn when you're working out is what I meant. I do MFP on my fire and on the laptop.

Mon-Friday - TaeBo (20 minutes) and 30 minutes (12.5-22 mph in intervals) on the bike and sometimes on Saturday.

Where is the recipe calculator??

With your difference in calories did you put in skim milk instead of the 2% she used?

They are amazing!! You have to try!

That would be about where I am in my cycle also. Usually I am starving the week before my period, but seems like my body decided to change it up this month. I've always heard "eat if/when you're hungry," but seriously I'd be eating all damn day today if that were the case. I just ate a 90 calorie Fiber One brownie though.…
