My boss uses it.....it sounds kind of bogus but in actually what they do is give you this substance to sprinkle on your food to increase the smell of the food...so in turn you eat less of it because smelling your food can help sate your appetite. However, people aren't fat because they are TRUELY hungry all the time. They…

Before I was focused on the health of foods: yum! Now that I care about what I put in my body: gross! All I can think about is that stuck to my *kitten*, all drippy and frosted and M & Med . Yucky. How about a nice fresh orange instead?

Uh, no. If they didn't want it to be public, they would lock it down. It's a good way to get ideas about what you can eat and also help others out when they need it. Why so guilty? :happy:

But, whatever is happening, you STILL can lose the weight again. It just might be a bit harder then you are used to. LOG EVERYTHING YOU PUT IN YOUR MOUTH DILLIGENTLY. And also, make sure your TDEE and deficit is accurate. (Go to My Home > Goals) I don't eat my calories back unless it means I would be going below my BMR.…

I know you probably thought of this, but I thought I might ask, you're not pregnant are you? My parents had a pony once that kept getting fatter and fatter, and my dad kept feeding it less and less, and then one day out popped a foal! We have no idea how she got pregnant, the stud was two pastures away...my dad felt awful…

Studies have shown that people who weigh themselves every day are more likely to lose weight than those who don't. MFP and WW reccomend you don't weight yourself more than once a week so you don't get short term discouraged. People do get discouraged when weight fluctuates every day, but if they keep at it they will see a…

That is interesting, I had no idea! But I still think she should be able to lose an lb or two in four weeks, even if the muscles are storing stuff. Right? Yeah I think like 1 to 1.5 would be better for OP. I think the mostly likely problem is a lack of accurate logging....

Yes, but it takes A LONG TIME to build muscle. I don't know if it is possible to put on a pound of muscle in a week. But it IS possible and really easy to lose a pound (hopefully mostly fat, if you are eating your protien and exercising) in a week. Infact, most really overweight people can lose 2 lbs a week without having…

That's odd. If you have a good quality HRM I would trust it. But make sure it has your correct weight. If you have lost alot since you set it the first time you may be confusing it. Good luck!

You are eating too much if you really aren't losing lbs in "weeks." It's not about patience at that point, it's that something isn't working. Drop your daily caloric intake by like 250 cals. Re assess in a week or two and drop again if necessary.

Eating more will NOT help you lose weight.

I am really bad at judging weight loss too without seeing numbers. How do your jeans fit? They don't lie. Are they getting baggy at the waist or butt? You should always make sure you are eating at least your BMR, but you have to be careful when you are eating back your calories because alot of times calculators will…

If you have been doing this for two weeks or so and you had everything set properly you should notice at least a pound or two by now, I doubt it is water retention. Yeah you are probably building some muscle, but you should still be able to lose weight at the same time. Are you losing inches? How diligent are you at…

Fine. She is eating too many calories to lose weight. I have heard alot about starvation mode, but have come to the conclusion it is a myth: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/81391-starvation-mode-myths-and-science http://fitnessblackbook.com/main/starvation-mode-why-you-probably-never-need-to-worry-about-it/ But…

You are arguing semantics. You get my drift. Eating more will not help anyone lose weight.

RIGHT HERE LADY. Billings MT, the largest metropolitan area in a 200 mile radius!!!! But, now I'm curious, why do you ask?

DO NOT eat more. You aren't losing weight because you are not burning enough calories for what you are taking in. (starvation mode is largely a MYTH, and so are plateaus). If i were you and you REALLY are being diligent with your logging, and you REALLY have accurate calorie burns (most standard calculators overestimate),…

There is only one reason you are not losing weight: you are taking in too many calories for how many you are burning. What is your TDEE? What is your caloric deficit? If you want to lose a pound a week your deficit needs to be at least 500 cals a day. Yeah, you can fluctuate about a pound or two a day due to water…

How easy losing weight is if you do it the right way and stay dilligent. I spend all those years wishing....when I could have just done something about it.

Scan the bar code and measure. If you can't get it perfect, get the next best thing. Err on the side of caution.

寿司が大好きです!!!!! True sushi is really very healthy, because it's just rice and fish...the problem is when it is americanized people like to put crap in there that isn't suppposed to be, like fried avacado, I have even seen cream cheese (AN ABOMINATION!! But, yummy :happy:) Note: If the roll's name is something you CAN…

F / 24/ 137 / 2 / 0 Not much :grumble: But not really something I am trying to work on either.

:blushing: Thanks guys. Good work yourselves. We are making progress!! :happy:

Cogratulations!!! Yay!!! ^__^

You set your deficit from your TDEE, NOT your BMR. Which is probably you couldn't (and shouldn't) have reached it. Sound like you have figured it out on your own through trial and error though. Do the best you can do, but aim high also. :)

^^^ This.

Hahah, love it. :) And I meant someTHING, like a peice of cargo. I have heard that this sort of thing can kill the vehicle's occupants, but haven't heard if it can get oustide and kill other vehicle occupants... And you know what's funny? Big school busses don't even HAVE seatbelts. WHY IS THAT?! My mom always said, if…

Uh, good point, but I would have to see some facts to show this has EVER happened, lol. :) However, so could something in my backseat, but I don't have to seatbelt that in by law (yet!!). So pretty sure the law is to prevent your own dealth. But good point. :D

YAY!!!!!!! I have a skirt like this in my closet....hoping to get there SOON. :) Thanks for the motivation, keep it up!!!
