Ah! Yes we all know about this. It's called eat more to weigh less.

So ... To sum up... OP is saying eat the same things everyday and some days eat less. Your body will "think" it's eating the same food? Huh? So if I eat 1600 calories a day of the same food if some days I eat 1500 my body is tricked? My brain is cramping.

Do other people look distorted in the pictures as well? Take pictures of others and see how they look!

Disney addict here. I am on Lines which is a chat site for Disney fanatics. It's through touringplans.com. We actually have our own group on here although it's pretty inactive!! But anyways, friend me. I love talking Disney !!!! PS. my goal is 125 by my next trip in Oct. 2014. We. Shall. See. 144 now.

Good for you!!!

So cool!

Yeah I think you prob need to eat more!! That Can be hard thou!

Maybe post again in the eat more to weigh less group? Or success stories?

PS .. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/heybales This dude is awesome. On his profile page he has links to spreadsheets. They're more accurate for working out TDEE. Because you can enter in workouts more specifically.

Not confusing at all! Welcome to the group. :) Where are you at with calories right now? What qualifier did you use for your activity level? You sound super active to me!!

It's very difficult! What made you decide to up calories?

I was gonna quit this week but decided not too. I'm just hating seeing the scale increase but also Dont wanna be right back where I started in a few months. Ya know? So I'm gonna eat at TDEE and just take it a week at a time. ???? Is 2300 your TDEE?

Does your fit bit say how many calories you burn? I have a body media I am a stay at home mom also I am 33 and 5'3 and around 145. I workout Monday- one hour cardio generally a slow run for 20 min and incline walk for 40. Or maybe stairclimber also. Tues- one hour cardio same as Monday Wends - Zumba Thurs - one hour cardio…

What do you do the rest of your day?

Ok maybe I can help. Emphasis on maybe. I'm 33. 145 currently and 5'3. When I was at my thinnest I was 125 and doing 30-40 min cardio 5 times a week eating around 2000 calories. Started pushing trying to get lower. Started gaining. When I would gain over Christmas or whatever I would have trouble losing it. So here I am at…

You're almost doubling workouts !!! You better increase :)

Thanks :)

How much longer should I do this do you think? Thanks so much!

Hey bales- age and height and sex. Also "athlete" or "normal" which I never really get so I put athlete.

How's it going at 2000?

Describe a typical day for you. I have a body media and it says I burn 2500 a day. Here's my routine. I workout 6 times a week. Monday- 30 min cardio 60 min body pump. Tues- 60 min cardio average hr 130. Wed- Zumba 60 min. 30 min strong lifts. Thurs- 30 min cardio 30 min strong lifts. Fri- Zumba 60 min. Sat- 70 min cardio.…

Heart rate monitors are not accurate for anything other than workouts. It does sound like you are very active!! I would up calories for sure. I would say you burn more than 2200 on average. 5'3 and increasing my calories as I was stuck. I was eating 1800 and stuck around 135 for a year. Gained weight on vaca and decided to…

I'm a Christian! Feel free to add :)

Yeah I have no idea how this was supposed to answer your question... Maybe you actually asked "what would happen if Christian bale ate an apple and drank some coffee?"

Game on!!!

All I know is I've been stuck around the same 5 lbs for over a year. I eat right and workout. My body media says I burn 2500 a day. According to that I should have wasted away to nothing by now. I have not. So right now I'm upping my calories. I'm gonna prove it right or wrong. One way or another. I figure what I've done…

Love.

There's a group on here about it!

Yup! But it goes away. And I don't think it's because of bad choices. At least not in my case. I've been upping 100 a week and eati g just as good as I did before. All the same food except adding in more. Sweet potatoes and beans and avocado. Eating pretty much the same just more! But yeah it's somehow harder to control…

Bumping! Thank u.
