I count the milk by measuring it then whatever is left for the final cup is just one cup. I'm not going to weight milk I've lost weight doing this before and I've never weighed milk, seems a bit neurotic. I think I'm very accurate with my calories and even if I were a little off I still should be losing a pound a week.

What do you mean? That's what I'm supposed to be eating with my calorie deficit then I can eat back my exercise calories on top of that should I choose.

Thanks yeah I'm going to try and include my exercise calories this week. That will put me between 1600-1700 a day

All of this worked before though. I think it might just be something with exercise and my body retaining water. The cheat day it was only one day in 3 weeks time and I didn't eat my exercise calories back for 4 days to offset it. I found the highest calorie versions of the meal I ordered and went with that.

I've actually done this program with success three times. It is IMHO neurotic to weigh milk and what not. A tablespoon is close enough. I measure everything that is reasonable to be measured and weigh the rest. The quick adds are items from the health food store for 90% that have a label on them. The rest is eating out and…

40-50 lbs.

Okay I tried one week eating them back one week not but even if I eat them back I should still lose 1 lb a week.

Yes I'm certain I am weighing everything and using the heart rate monitor to calculate my burns. Speaking of which I'm going to do the Santa Monica Stairs now. So I hope it is all right and I lose soon! Thanks so much:)

So you were eating at a deficit and exercising? Did the scale drop a lot then to make up for lost time?

Yes I have an actual food scale that is what I meant when I said weighing, the other would be measuring.

I had seen that online which is why I wanted to check with everyone here to get opinions. I had taken two months off of exercising completely and about 4 since doing this frequency. Do you think 3 weeks is normal for no weight loss and at some point it will just drop off? Seems crazy but plausible.

So it's normal to not lose any weight in the first 3 weeks?

Great job! How many calories a day would you eat? Did you have any setbacks?
