I was going to suggest this also. Or Meniere's Disease.

I'm confused why the number on the scale matters if you look good, feel good, and you're wearing the size clothes you want to wear. That said, as a bigger guy my weight on the scale can move like 10 pounds overnight based on how much I drank, how much sodium I ate the day before, etc, so take a single datapoint on a scale…

I noticed that a little , but within 7 days of starting atorvastatin I ended up in the ER with premature ventricular contractions, so I stopped taking it (no more PVCs since). Ended up dropping my numbers into the normal range with exercise. Good luck.

Nope, because you don't like the knowledge provided. Also, until you start paying people on here for their responses you don't have any right to dictate the terms of said responses. Quit shaming people.

Yep, because older people never let themselves go in a relationship, or get defensive about their weight.

Hey mechanic guy, my car makes this noise. What could it be? OK, lets take a look at it. Nah, you don't need to see it. Just tell me what's wrong. OP, start lowering your daily calorie to 1600 a day for like 2 weeks. If the scale still doesn't drop try 1400 for 2 weeks. If at that point if you're still not losing at all…

This. I eat 1800 calories as a 360 pound male and lose a pound a week.

I go at least 4 weeks before I change things, and only change one thing at a time, so it's easier to tell what changes help. That said, my longest stretch without the scale moving was 6 weeks, so I wouldn't get too worried yet.

You. I like you.

I've been around awhile. The only thing that's changed is an increase in the number of know it all trigger warning no-criticism zone special snowflakes.

So you've been here 3 years but made a new account just to complain about this? Awesome! Great job! You can do it!! Is that motivating enough for you? Honestly, the main reason people comment on things like logging cleaning is because of the people who say, I'm eating under my cals and not losing weight, etc. Eating back…

A big milestone goal could be a new firearm. You can never have too many of those. ;-)

Meh, I wasn't there, so who knows what kind of kick it was. At the end of the day, it's a dog owner's job to control their animal. People who don't are the reason pits get a bad rap.

If your dog was leashed he wouldn't have gotten the boot. I don't expect anyone else to have to deal with my dog, which is why he's on a leash whenever he's outside. I run with pepper spray and a CPL fwiw. Never had to use either but better safe than sorry.

Also, the reason most minimum wage jobs are part time now is to avoid providing mandatory benefits, such as health insurance. Unintended consequences are a beeotch.

It might if you're a union employee. A lot of union contracts specify salary levels as a multiple of minimum wage, so if minimum wage goes up so does their paycheck. Wonder why unions care about what the takehome pay for a burger flipper is? This is why.

Do these corporations you work for know you think they're hoarders? Corporations exist to make money. They pay out salaries of the minimum necessary to get the work performed, and try to pay as little taxes as possible because they need to make money. Let me guess, you think taxation is investment too. Hey, sounds like my…

So money is made from nothing now? We should just give everyone extra cash and the deficit will be gone in a couple years! Yay science!! /sarc EDIT: I don't think the line above is quite clear enough in how asinine the original statement is. So you take a dollar from someone in taxes, which requires a payroll person to…

I started at about 500 pounds, and am still going. I didn't exercise at all until I'd dropped about 75 pounds. I just stopped putting so much food in my piehole. That said, for some people surgery works. Obviously due to the fact that a lot of people who have WLS regain a significant amount of weight (exact numbers vary…

You overestimate the intelligence of quite a bit of the population.

Nope.

Did you run for a couple hours? Otherwise I'm skeptical of an 840 calorie burn.

Or don't put the clamps on and do the dump of shame.

Well, a couple threads down people are talking about loving people no matter what size they are, so I guess you could do that and leave him alone, and just do your own thing and not worry about him. Or realize attraction affects a relationship, and respecting your partner enough to get/stay healthy and in shape for them so…

Bacon.

Yeah, my HR strap tells me I burn 1200 cals at 370 pounds in a 50 minute workout class, when my average HR is like 145, and I still think that number is high, so I'm pretty sure 1200 cals for a 40 minute bike ride is out of whack, which is why I either don't eat them back or if I do eat like half.

I started at 485, and I ate what MFP told me to lose 2 pounds a week. Did no exercise at all until I'd dropped like 50 pounds. Right now I'm eating 2300 based on what MFP tells me, and still losing, and I do workout classes 2-3 days a week (kettlebells, kickboxing, etc) and recumbent biking 3-4, with one rest day, still…

If you're not losing perhaps cutting out the cheat meals/days is the best place to start.

It's so good, but man, lots of cals since it's full fat. Figure it's lower calorie than Ben and Jerrys ice cream though.

The point against this is that obesity leads to many other conditions quite often. My blood work was fine at 485 pounds, until one day it wasn't any more, which led me to lose weight. Luckily I was able to drop those numbers and avoid medication for diabetes, high cholesterol, etc, but some people won't be that lucky. I…
