In your first post you said you haven't been consistent in October - A loss of 3lbs in a month that you haven't even been consistent is definetely not a plateau. Stop searching for short cuts, there are none. You haven't gained weight due to medication, and as long as you don't eat over your maintenance level, there is no…

You are not at a plateau. You are if you have been a 100% consistent and still haven't made any progress in a longer period of time.

You can't determine if something is working if you aren't consistent/accurate. Be consistent with your plan for a couple weeks, log accurately, weigh yourself/make measurements, and then adjust your plan if you haven't made progress.

I wouldn't count/log it.

Only read a couple of parts but my bro science alert went off ("For now, let it suffice to say that the body interprets missed meals as starvation. Let’s suppose you eat lunch at 12:00 noon and dinner at 7:00 pm. If you skip breakfast the next day, that’s 17 hours without food. This sends an unmistakable signal to your…

I think I heard someone saying "bacon"?!

By measuring all the ingridients before cooking.

^ Works perfectly fine for me.

Do you count calories at all? This should help: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

All of this. Make sure you do some reading to adjust your calorie goal and are in a reasonable calorie deficit; MFP gives most members the recommandation of 1,200 cals, it's hardly ever enough. Back on topic: Ignore sugar if there's no health reason that makes it important to watch it. Just make sure you hit your carb…

Oh I've seen this thread before going to bed last night & cba to go in there. I assume it developed nicely?

Seems legit. It only works if you eat butts of animals that have a big behind themselves, though, such as hippos.

^ Cardio wont make you gain muscle. A calorie surplus, eating enough protein and lifting heavy weights will. Do a full-body programme such as Stronglifts or New Rules Of Lifting.

Don't log it...

Same size; Nike & Under Armour & no problems with neither of them.

Yup. Until you fixed the issue I'd use the average of what MFP and the treadmill tell you.

Is 1,860 the daily goal that MFP suggests? If so, then you are supposed to eat them all; your deficit is already substracted from that. Cardio is NOT needed for fat loss. The only thing that counts is a calorie deficit, which can be created through diet only. Do you use a food scale to weigh what you eat?

This. I have a deficit of 3.5k in 7 days, so if I had a "cheat day" let's say once a week, it would be super easy to go over by 3k calories if I wouldn't at all pay attention to what I eat/drink.

But you do realize that to lose weight at all, you NEED to be in a calorie deficit? Because one second you say you want to lose weight and in the next you say you never said you were in a deficit. Now let me go weigh my food so I can keep on progressing and not have to post a thread to find people to help me because I'm…

Nvm not worth it....

It's not my fault you're obviously lagging some communication skills. If you ask in the title if this or that will help you frickin' lose weight of course I assume that's what you want. Good luck with your fat loss/muscle gain/maintance/bulk. Not sure what's en vogue right now.

Well, the thread name is "Will my fitness routine help me lose weight?". No, it wont.

You are not in a calorie deficit then. Weigh EVERYTHING you eat. If your main goal is to build muscle, you'd be better off with the advise darrensurrey gave you, though. But even if that's what you're gonna do, weigh your food. You can't log accurately with only "guesstimating" your intake. The impulse for weight loss is…

Pancakes! Basically just protein powder, some milk, eggs, baking soda and almond flour. I always put some quark mixed with peaches on top. :)

If you really were in a calorie deficit, you would lose weight. So you are either over estimating your calorie burn or you under estimate what you eat. Do you weigh everything you eat?

Eat them?

Sugar isn't a macro. Sugar = carbs. Ignore it.
