If it is something where it is easy to identify the individual components (like a cheeseburger) I will log the individual pieces, (1/4 pound Angus beef, applewood smoked bacon, etc.)knowing it's still a guess but likely a better guess than logging a random cheeseburger entry. If it's harder to do that like a chicken…

That would drive me nuts! I'm thankful every day that I don't have to share my food with anyone, that would make the weighing and logging so much more difficult.

I would probably just put it on today because I look at the weekly average so I'm ok with seeing the red on some days. If it would bother you then stick it on yesterday, but it all balances out.

I find that exercise generally gives me more energy and helps with cramping. I also like to eat a nice bloody steak, I feel like that helps when I feel like I'm basically bleeding out.

My clothes generally weigh two to four pounds ( I may have put on several outfits and weighed myself in each one before a doctor's appointment where I knew I would need to get on the scale. :p ) Add that to normal daily fluctuations and you are unlikely to see the same number day to day at different times. I always weigh…

Going over your calories is slowing down your weight loss. Especially if your exercise calories are overestimated, which is often the case, and you are eating them all back and then some. It is eating too much in general, not carbs or any one thing specifically, that is slowing down your weight loss.

If you can fit it into your calories and you like it then it's fine. I usually decide to eat at maintenance on days that I will be drinking (also socially so maybe one day a week) just so I'm not cutting out food AND drinking on top of it. My 32 year old body can't handle drinking the way my 21 year old body could, I'd be…

I think people don't want to believe it's that simple because if it is really that simple then there is no excuse for them not doing it. People don't believe me when I tell them that it is as simple as a free app and a $15 food scale, they want to believe it's magic or I have superpowers that they don't possess and that's…

That's why I DO weigh daily. Anything within a 3 pound radius is pretty normal for me, but if I only weighed once a week I may think I gained weight because I'm up a pound from the previous week. And yes I might be down two pounds the following week and it will all even out in the end, but I'm not good at waiting…

I weigh daily and log it into another app on my phone (happy scale) so I can see the daily ups and downs, and then I record it here on Fridays.

I only pre-log meals that have been prepared. I pack my breakfast and lunch the night before to bring to work and I log it as I make it so I have the correct weights.

Somewhere between 130 and 140. I was pretty happy around 138 last summer. I have a specific look in mind, if I get that at 140 then great! If I have to go down to 130, I guess that's what I'll do.

I buy a carton of egg whites and have that along with a couple whole eggs. I don't have the calories to get as much protein as I would like from just whole eggs so this works. I never throw away yolks, they're my favorite part!

I do breakfast and lunch the night before as I'm cooking it because there's no way I'd remember how many grams of everything by the next day! Dinner depends, I'll log it early if my protein looks low after breakfast and lunch to make sure I'll make it, or if I'm wanting a snack I'll log the rest of the day to see what I…

Right? That made me think of Penelope from SNL.

You have so many calories available even after lunch and dinner, eat something! I add two whole eggs to my cup of egg whites and that keeps me going until lunchtime most days.

I'd sleep, but I can't function and I am not very pleasant without adequate sleep. I probably wouldn't have a great workout and then I'd be extra grumpy.

The answer is "D. Not enough information provided."

I've been knocking out half of my weekly deficit each weekend with restaurant meals that put me way over. I'm ok with only losing half a pound some weeks instead of a full pound so that doesn't bother me. I don't think of it as a cheat, because there isn't anything I'm not "allowed" to have. I don't know what I'll do when…

I started weighing and tracking daily so that I can see the fluctuations throughout the week. I only plug it into myfitnesspal on Fridays. It helps me to see the actual numbers throughout the week. I like having the data, but I know for some people that is too much information.

I signed up a few years when I found myself freaking out about being single, almost 30 and the heaviest I had ever been (155 pounds at 5'3") I stopped logging but eventually lost all of the weight after becoming a lot more active. I was training for a marathon this past summer and enjoying eating ALL OF THE FOOD and then I…

I can't do diets that tell me I can't eat something because then I can't stop thinking about that forbidden thing! That being said I unintentionally eat lower carb because I focus on hitting my protein and if I'm running low on calories and have to choose between cheese or bread I'll take the cheese every time! I eat a lot…

I just asked Google about it and it says it comes with a full meal and exercise plan. Maybe try following that?

If cheesecake is wrong, I don't want to be right.

I always assume people are holding back on first dates, trying to make an impression. If a date pulled ranch dressing out of his pocket I would assume that was only a small portion of the crazy and there would not be another date.

Sometimes, I think people already have an answer in mind when they ask a question and only that answer is acceptable. Any and all other responses are wrong, mean, unhelpful, etc. I don't get it.

I'd ask for a referral to a specialist. If your doctor is so concerned that he thinks you should be eating so little, I would want a complete plan not just a seemingly random number.

It's just bloat, it happens to the best of us. Can't offer any advice, but know you're not alone. I do take joy in watching it all go away right after even though I know nothing I did made that weight appear or disappear!

I'm acceptable bordering on over-sharing. When friends complain that they need to lose weight (and it is happening a lot more now that the weather is starting to warm up!) I have a tendency to be all "OMG!! Logging! Food scales!! So much fun!!" when what they want to hear is, "Yeah, dieting sucks. Let's whine about how fat…

I see the most changes from weights, and I only do body weight stuff (push-ups, squats, etc.) so you might even see more with actual heavy weights. I was actually really disappointed with changes in my body when I started doing a lot of running, it was less than the at-home circuit type stuff. But we're all different, so…
