How small are they? There are zipper inserts you can buy to make the calf opening bigger. In the meantime, stretch a lot!

Happened to me for two weeks, then I lost 3 kilos in one week. Just be patient and be good to yourself (and make sure you're measuring correctly).

You eat 1200 but burn 1000 and only eat back 1-200 calories? For a net of 400 calories?

It says to maintain your weight, as sedentary, you should eat 1780. To lose 1 lb/wk, -500 cals = 1280. .5lb/wk = 1505 cals.

I record once a week. I actually weigh myself every time I go into that bathroom. Just to see the fluctuations, cause I think its interesting and it helps calm me down if the scale goes up sometimes, because I can see its normal.

Did you get therapy for your eating disorder? It sounds like you still need it (also not facetious).

Been there. Kind of still there *hugs* I started in August, after trying to lose weight and failing for years. My problem was undereating, since I was always told eat less, exercise more. Well, I started eating more, and I started losing weight. That keeps me going! I eat what I want, and eat to my goal, and get some fun…

You can see it easily with the app, but the website version, I think you have to look at the report and add it up yourself.

Buy all the clothes! And a bikini, even if my stomach isnt toned yet.

I was going to suggest upping your calories to maintenance, then going back down a bit, or just focus on weights.

I only eat at the table. If I'm alone, I read the news or put my calories in mfp. If I'm with my family, we talk, and I try to avoid food being flung by my toddler.

It totally depends on you, mentally. What are you willing and able to do. I dont cut anything out and have built up a willpower to say no to too much for some things (like cake). I buy smaller things, like chocolate bars, so I cant eat so much even if I eat the whole thing. For chocolate, I eat dark because after a certain…

We dont have to eat the same food. 1500 calories is 1500 calories whether you eat homemade or fast food. What I was trying to say is that your calorie count is more than likely not accurate. So before you worry about eating back exercise calories, you should try to get a more accurate count of what you are eating. Btw, mfp…

I cant speak for the Android app, but I use the App for Apple and have similar problems. Luckily I make most of my stuff from scratch so its not so annoying, but still. Do you have to update?

Just looked into your diary, back two weeks, and I notice that you eat out pretty much every day. And you put in stuff from British stores and American. I assume you're American (krispy kreme mmm), so are you just putting in stuff that you've eaten but not necessarily from the same place? If so, your calories might be off…

Google tickers, walking, distance and you'll come up with something. Then you have to go into mfp settings and add the code there.

I quit smoking cold turkey in 2007, after...too long. I had pneumonia and had to stop, so I could breathe. Never started again. I didnt gain any weight. But I also didnt use anything else in lieu of ciggs, like candy or other things. I also was cycling more and faster because I could breathe better.

If you lost 4 pounds in 2-3 weeks at your weight, would think THAT loss was water weight and due to menstruation and eating food full of sodium, you retained it back. Unless you really ate over 10,000 calories (over your bmr) on the weekend.... Drink more water. And you might need to change your goal to 1/2 pound a week to…

Eat it! I buy dark chocolate, because its impossible for me to eat too much because its bitter and strong after a couple of bites. Plus its good for you ;)

Whatever you do, just make sure its consistent. Morning, evening, naked, fully clothed, after poo, full colon....you get the picture. Everyone's weight fluctuates.

Try increasing your calories for a while and then decrease again. I've heard stories about how that works to jumpstart while plateauing. I also did it to help me lose again after plateauing.

Is it an either/or choice? If you're hungry and tired at the end of the day, why dont you try to keep a constant blood sugar level by eating more frequently?

Agree with giving it time. As you rehydrate your body, it will stop releasing all the water right away and you'll have to pee less often. If you're properly hydrated, you shouldnt have to pee at night if you drink past 7.

If you are constipated from adding fibre to your diet, you should drink more water to balance that out. Or look at the rest of your diet. Are you eating enough fat? Too much dairy?

I'm hoping to have the same measurements I did when I was at my goal weight: 40-29-42. If not that, 40-32-42 (my boobs and hips will probably be that size since I am an hourglass and my weight went on evenly and is coming off evenly)

Obviously you've never done appropriate spring cleaning. Its not walking 27 feet and picking up a can of tomatoes (how condescending btw). In my case, spring cleaning lasts 8 hours a day for 7 days and involves lots of moving, cleaning, climbing, lifting, bending, etc. OP, if you feel hungry, just eat. Doing that kind of…

Drink AND lose. Especially wine. I havent cut anything out. There's no way I'm going to forego wine for the rest of my life! I have to teach myself now how to eat well for the rest of my life, including alcohol, sweets and not so healthy but oh so yummy foods. Otherwise I'll end up doing what a good friend of mine did:…

Lemon and rosemary cod with roasted potatoes, red cabbage with apple, finished off with a slice of fruit pie and sauvignon blanc.

Count me with the om-nom-nom-nom-nominivores. I love a wide variety of food . I think the only thing I dont eat is organ meat.

Started at 275. Goal is 150-170. I am at 248 now, so I have less than 100 lbs to go. Go me :). Go everyone!
