No.....dey da debbil.....

Gorgeous eyes....

You have to be a troll......with as many "plateau" threads as there are on here, there is no way you don't know 4 days isn't a plateau. It's not even a stall.... If you're serious, you better re-evaluate your expectations or you're headed to join the 1200 Club.....

^^^Just read this and skip all the other crap.

I know a lot of people who would be happy to consistently lose a pound a week. Here's a scenario: You lower calories because you're impatient. You lose a little more weight. Your metabolism adjusts to account for the lowered intake. You start losing ZERO pounds in 3 weeks. You make the same forum post as a thousand other…

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.....

You should be seeking help somewhere than a public forum. Not trying to be harsh, but you have some issues that require professional help.

"Net" is how many calories you consume AFTER any deductions. Deductions are figured one of two ways, but they both relate to exercise as exercise is what will change how many calories consume. Let's say that you and I are the exact same weight, height, age and that we have the exact same activity level. Let's say we both…

Reducing processed foods is good, but it is not going to "magically" make you start losing weight when you stall. When I begin to stall or plateau, I have learned that the best thing that works for me is to take a diet break. I will eat at maintenance for a week or so then go back to a deficit (usually around 20%).…

Anything else going on? Have you recently quit smoking, for example? That can cause heartburn too.

where did you get the 1200 from? If you are eating to little, you will likely stall before you hit your goal.

I set my MFP to reflect my TDEE. That way I always see what it is if I happen to go over my deficit. Sounds like you are confused about your activity level. Just pick one and run with it, then adjust if needed after a few weeks. The calculators are just estimates anyway. Don't pick sedentary and don't sweat the details so…

Also, if your only goal is weight loss, it doesn't matter what you eat unless you have an illness like Diabetes, so you can ignore all the "eat this, not that" comments. You also said yourself that you quit weighing everything and just started back, so you probably have no idea how much you have been eating. Use the…

Depending on how long you have been dieting, you may need to take a diet break and eat at maintenance for a while to reset your metabolism and body's hormone levels. I agree with the poster above that it looks like you are not eating enough but depending on how much you have to lose, you can get away with it a little,…

Headphones and a heavy bag in the garage.

If my metabolism ever gets so broken that it has to be "kick-started", will somebody please put me out of my misery?

You can eat any time you want. The whole "eat 6 meals a day thing and don't eat after this time" thing has been disproven.

I am a tattoo artist, so I can speak from experience. If your tattoo artist is skilled, It will not make any difference. The single most important thing while applying a tattoo is to make sure the skin is stretched as tight as possible. If your artist does that, you shouldn't have any issues with your tattoo. If they do…

Could be that your scale was messed up when you calculated your starting weight?

If your TDEE is 1811 then you may be eating at too big of a deficit since you have a small amount to lose. However....you are stalled, not plateaued so I would give it a little more time.

^^^no...... You should be eating below 3300 calories but not below 2400. That is your bmr. It is possible your metabolism has adjusted to your eating too few calories and you may have to eat at your TDEE (3300ish) to reset your metabolism and hormone levels. To do this, you can either go straight to the 3300 for a few…

First of all. You are not plateaued. So disregard all advice here and give it 2 to 4 more weeks. If no change by then, then give this a read: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12

You don't have to have them right after your workout, but I enjoy having mine then. The window is 24 hours, so as long as you're hitting your macros for the day, you are good to go. Now I don't know about what is good for women, but assuming protein is protein, I can only tell you what I use and it is the brand they sell…

You didn't gain that much muscle in two weeks, but if you think about it, doesn't the weight gain pretty much line up with when you started strength training? It's pretty normal for weight loss to slow down when you start strength training. Your muscles will retain more water as they need to repair themselves. Also, being…

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/654536-in-place-of-a-road-map-2-0-revised-7-2-12 This works.

16 pounds over two weeks would mean you ate an extra 4000 calories every day over your TDEE. No way.

You're going to have to find a way to eat, guilt free that works for you and that you can sustain for the rest of your life. So yeah. If it works for you it's ok. You don't need anyone's approval (even if you do want to eat chocolate all day). So if it works for the goals you are trying to achieve, go for it. What makes it…
