Need to open your diary up, but if you eat a lot of processd foods or refined grains, you will be hungry, choose more whole grains for your carbs, high fiber veggies and fruits.

The last time when I was losing a good amount of weight I never ate above 1600 calories and worked out at least four days a week. On days I did not exercise i ate about 1400. That was January Feburary, Then March slowed down, and the end of April it started yo yo yoing. Medically I am fine. I weigh everything. I think I…

MFP has me on 1510 daily I workout 5 days a week teaching spin, doing kickboxing, running, and the arc trainer. I wear a hrm and make sure I work in my aerobic zone too.bI do weights four days a week. I think I am going back to trying to eat less again. This has been frustrating with gain lose gain.

How do you decide macro levels the ones MFP gives you or something else?

Thanks! I know muscle and fat weight the same, but muscle is mroe dense. I realized that perhaps this is not a plateau at all but the last week the gain is getting less. I kept going to 204 and staying there for weeks and go to 199. Now I went to 199.7 and only went back up to 202.8. Now back to 201. So the gain is less. I…

great post, so I have not lost pounds since may 21st have acutually bounced back and forth from the same pounds, but I am losing inches so I guess it is not a plateau.

Yes I lift weights, changed my workouts, done everything and the same pounds back and forth over and over. i am trying to stay postive though. I am now eating more and cycling calories, going to see how that works. It is frustrating.

I am diabetic I should say. But I have been chasing the same 4 pounds for months they leave and come back. I can not seem to find the right balance. Trying to decide on the right level of carbs.

Thanks I do not buy a lot of processed stuff anymore or drink juice, do eat fruit and peanut butter though. So I am goign to try to eat natural sugars and less processed. So eating whole grain carbs are good though right?

What website do you reccommend to find your calorie burn daily ? I am 5'5 199 pounds work at a desk but workout for 70 minutes including weights 6 days a week. Three days of that week are spin

So ready! Free agency starts today!

I was doing the same thing since April, changed my workouts etc. But this week I ate more not all my exercise calories but I used freedieting.com found out for my activity level I should eat 1890 calories a day not 1500 to lose, so I always ate at least that but one day, the one day i ate 1400 I gained the next day, when I…

My doctor recommended taking magnesioum daily and eating magnesium rich foods, also exercise does really help. ever since I started taking magnesium for a full month, no cramps

I am trying calorie cycling next. I trade my workouts out weekly. I have lost 93 and that came off easily but these last 59 are whooping my butt

Type 2 here

Yes I eat plent of protein like 120 grams a day. I feel great since i started sleeping at least 7 hours. But I teach spin so I have to do that. But I noticed that I do have to push myself more to get my heart rate going.

I do have a hrm but I never eat all of the exercise calories just in case it is overestimating, I have my activity level as sedentary. I cut back carbs a long time ago as I ma diabetic. I do not drink, I have gallstones, so I watch my fat levels, and i have a dessert light ice cream twice a week. That is it. I have been…

yes I tried that too. That is the excat calories mfp has me set at. my doctor told me to eat 1500 no matter what. So I have no idea what to try next. I do workout 5 to 6 days a week. Spin three day,w eights three days and various cardio. Each seesion is about 70 minutes.

I grow veggies in a container garden to the seeds were cheap and the cootainers were what I had around the house! I read sale ads and buy in season produce and buy frozen on sale. Sam's helps a lot too.

yes I have gallstones and was tracking saturated fat, I will try tracking sodium. I have lost 93 pounds and need tolose 60 more. Just got to keep experimenting I guess. the only thing left is to exercise more intense, but I think I am. I teach spin three days, so I change my cardio the other days daily

yes I have a hrm but do not eat all but most in case it is overestimating

Thanks I just started this Saturday and was wondering

I think I will do that and maybe some vanilla and nutmeg?

You can make those your lowerdays. Google it and many will give you a plan to do it

I agree Chris great transformation

I just startd eating more. I cant go gorcery shopping until this weekend pay day, and will buy more food but I was always so tired no matter how much sleep I got. Since eating more in two days, and eating more carbs whole grain. I have energy and I am not sleepy on my non workout days. I sometimes workout 6 days if I am…

I have never eaten over 1600 calories but once or twice. MFP says my bmr is 1616 though, I do exercise 5 days a week about 70 minutes and do strength too. I wonder if I am undereating? My daily goal is 1500

In looking at your diary, I see a lot of processed foods. A lot of sodium and sugar, not much water or fruits and veggies. I would ditch the reduced fat peanut butter and buy natural peanut butter, it is so much better for you. Try making your own waffles time to time with bob red mills 10 whole grain mix. Have you tried…

I hear you has me baffled
