If your tape measurements are going the right direction like you said, I would just keep doing what you're doing and not over think it. You'll be getting stronger and losing the RIGHT kind of weight. Not the stuff you want to keep.
-
Use a tape measure and not a scale to measure your progress. That will give you a better idea of whether or not you are losing fat which is probably your real goal.

You are assuming MFP will solve her issue. Perhaps she has a underlying medical issue such as thyroid or hormone imbalance causing problems. With her not being a friend, you dont have a full picture of her daily story. What works for one may not work for another. I would suggest you only offer advice if asked and then not…

I suggest the strong lifts program. Compound weight lifting that works many muscles per exercise. On top of all of the gains you will make, you will also get the benefit of being a bad *kitten* for doing those lifts. Good luck

Thanks everyone for replying. I'm excited to get this going again. Let's rock it!!!!

Hey There Things seem about the same to me other than 2 things. First off, I'm not as resilient as I used to be. If I slip on my diet now, my body is more than happy to pack on the fat faster than before. I've also needed to tone down the workouts just a tad to give my body more time to recover. Secondly, I seem to be more…

I would use other measurements other than weight to track your progress with that much working out. Do some tape measurements and I'm sure those will be going down week after week. Scale goes up and down due to water retention and other hormonal factors that may have nothing to do with body fat.
-
I will throw out into the idea pool that you are not having enough fat and or protein during your lunch to keep you satiated until dinner.

Intermittent fasting is also considered a fat loss tool, not just a weight loss tool. Intermittent fasting is believed to burn more FAT and retain more LEAN mass compared to eating throughout the day at the same calorie deficit.
-
100-200 calories per week until you start gaining weight which ideally the weight will be mostly muscle at that point. Once you start to gain weight, stay around that calorie count. A little below that would be your maintenance.
-
Go for a nice long walk outside. That will get you some exercise and you won't have to burn yourself out with some major cardio workout.

More Keto friends please!

I know it's not the proper thing to ask, but we need height, weight, and age at least to try and give helpful advice. :-)
-
OMG. Those numbers are really good. You are doing SO good. Just keep it up and it will be gone before you know it. Just know that even your great loss now is not sustainable. It's going to slowly go down. Don't be discouraged. Keep it up! You are doing really good! Take Care!!!!
-
Please share your secrets of course. Everyone here at MFP can benefit You obviously know you that you look amazing. Well DONE!!!!!
-
You should be able to answer your own question in about 2 - 3 weeks. Weigh yourself. Binge as you do. See if you gained weight. ??????
-
You should make a new topic on this
-
Try to set a weekly calorie goal. If you binge on one day, make sure you cut back on the following days. Maintaining or losing weight isn't based on a single day. Base your calories on weekly total and adjust. Good Luck!
-
This is not a safe way to do it... BUT You can take a water pill found in the diet section of your local supermarket. I think Dexatrim is one and another that I can't think of the name. Also, drinking orange juice ONLY for the day will flush water out of your system. Once again, this is not safe or recommended but it…

So I think we all know that fat covers up the muscle so building up the muscle does what to reduce the fat?
-
Just asking. Did you just say there is no way to spot reduce and then say to do specific exercises to spot reduce?
-
...
-
Take this with a grain of salt. Look at the IF boards and there aren't very many negative comment there. Just saying..
-
Just asking. Is brown rice a better choice?
-
Everything you are using to calculate is just an estimate. YES EVEN THE FITBIT. It is not a perfect tool. You need to use all of the information you receive from Fitbit and your calorie counting to decide what YOUR body is doing. Everyone is different and their bodies respond different to stimulus. You need to constantly…

Take diet advice from a diet expert that studies diet on a regular basis. The rules are changing every year and the normal health care doctor is not worrying about diet for their main profession. Just a word of advice
-
Intermittent Fasting. Look up the IF group on MFP. In a month when those 3 inches are gone, please send me an update. Good Luck!!!!!! Allen

No

I knew swimming was going to be the go to thing. Try high incline treadmill. Very soft on the joints. Pump it up to 9% - 12 % incline at 2.0 - 3.0 mps. adjust as your knees see fit. It is low impact and your heart rate goes up like you are running 10mph. Give it a shot and let me know how it works.... Good luck with your…
