How tall are you? What is your goal?

I imagine it would quite heavy and dense and crumbly (and way more calories).

I am on level 1 day 5 today!

I am 5'10.5, goal weight is 150 because at that weight i am a size 7/8 and look great.

I agree with maybe 5% of what she wrote. And completely disagree with the rest.

you need one with a chest strap. Otherwise there is really not much point.

It's how it works for me - I stay within my calories, I lose weight. Regardless of what type of calories they are.

YES YESYESYESYESYES. YES!! Thank you! This is a HUGE pet peeve of mine!!!

How long are these plateaus lasting?

I save my exercise calories for the weekend so I can eat what I want within reason on Saturdays and have a few drinks. Does that mean Saturday is my cheat day? I dunno, the term seems to mean different depending who you ask...

My favorite thing so far is those cauliflower fritters!

I am NETTING 1200. With the exercise calories i eat, my actual total calories average around 1500 per day.

If I was going to take the skin off of fried chicken, I just wouldn't bother. i'd bake myself a piece of chicken at home.

My new fave is: 2 handfuls spinach 1 scoop chocolate peanut butter protein powder 1 frozen banana 1 cup almond milk a couple of ice cubes

1. Yes you can stop, you have control over your behaviour. 2. Have some pre cut veggies ready for when you get home if you want to snack on something. 3. Stop buying junk food. Sure, maybe your other family member don't have a weight problem, but it's not like that stuff is good for them anyway. If they want a snack that…

Also, don't worry about the daily calorie totals being over or under, just make sure net calories for the week are at 0 at the end of the week. You can find this under "weekly summary" on the App.

Well, today my calories add up to about 1200: B: 1/2 c cottage cheese and fruit, coffee L: 1 slice wholegrain toast with PB, protein shake D: pork tenderloin, mashed sweet potato, zucchini S: greek yogurt

two weeks is not enough time to gauge if it is working. the first week i GAINED 3 lbs. the next week i lost 2 of those lbs. But after six weeks total so far, i am down 11 lbs from the start.

how many weeks have you been at the same weight?

that is impossible to predict. I am also female and 5'10, so I know from your stats that you are already very slim so any inch loss wil likely be slow. ETA - oh, i thought you originally said you were 5'10.

How long have you been on MFP before "seeing no results"?

Honestly it sounds like you have some serious food related issues that should be resolved with a medical/mental health professional before attempting another diet.

How much weight loss are you seeing? How much do you have to lose?

If I used the mentality of "it's only one meal out" or "it's christmas" or "it's my birthday" "it's my dog's birthday" "it's valentine's day" "it's my anniversary", I would never lose weight. I make whatever I am doing fit within my weekly net calorie allowance. It's not impossible.

tandoori chicken. not spicy usually, and a good option.

I wear a HRM while working out, and I burn approximately 240 calories doing my weight routine, which takes about 35-37 minutes. It's not the same burn that I would get from high intensity cardio, sure, but a decent burn nonetheless. And that's not including the afterburn as muscles are rebuilding.

If you've got your eating under control so that you have enough of a calorie deficit to lose weight, i would just focus on strength. You could do this three times a week, and it would only take about 10-15 minutes: - 3 sets pushups - 3 sets of overhead press with dumbbells with squat. - 3 sets of crunches

If I want something, I track it first. once I see the numbers and how it affects my day/week net calories, usually I don't want it so much anymore.

I'm 5 10.5 Goal/Happy weight is around 150.
