I do it once a month. After seeing nothing moving on the scale for 2 weeks straight (but still losing inches) I got frustrated!

I understand how you feel but 4 days is nothing to worry about. You may want to stop weighing yourself so often and perhaps take measurements once a week. Pay attention to how your clothes fit, how much you're increasing your endurance and strength through exercise and how much better you feel.

Put on a pair of jeans that I haven't fit into in over a year this morning and they FIT!

I'm starting HIIT for the stationary bike this evening. I'm following this pattern to get started: 15 sec high, 30 sec low for 20 minutes until I build myself up. Do you do the bike at all?

I LOVE my Silk almond milk!! I'm lactose intolerant and have never really liked the taste of regular cow's milk so this is a great alternative for me. Soy milk tastes funny to me, so I stick with the almond. Very low in calories, high in calcium and helps me stay on track. It may not have a lot of protein or other health…

Cool beans. Sounds like a plan. Thanks!!!

Thank you Kami!! Also, everyone here says MFP overestimates calories burned through exercise. I've also been told not to trust the exercise bike/treadmill numbers either. What IS accurate?

I'm just under 5', currently 168lbs and want to get down to 120 by July of 2016. I work a M-F desk job and work out moderately to vigorously on the exercise bike or treadmill every evening for at least 40-45 mins. I've been staying at or below the 1200 calories MFP assigned me. I've lost 12lbs since Monday, Sept 7 but I…

I sit basically all day long at work. I do get up and walk around the office every hour, but that's really not much. The only good physical activity I get every day is through my workouts after work. I'm going to do as you suggest and see how things pan out over a month or so at 1200 with my workout routines increasing in…

I want to lose 50-60lbs by next July :)

Thanks all. I do realize the initial loss is going to be a big one with water and such and will slow down. I most certainly didn't think I'd keep up a 6lb/wk loss throughout my journey. I'm now unsure that 1200 is the right calorie goal for me...

I work out after work every day. I work from 7:30-4, go home, eat a banana, change and head to the gym for 45 mins to an hour. I feel SO much better

Yes - it really helps my stress levels go down when I work out. I turn on some great EDM/dance music and pedal away my feelings on the stationary bike or walk my troubles away on the treadmill. Good luck. I know it's hard to balance everything.

Hell yes!!! I'm a native Detroiter and have been a Red Wings fan my entire life!!! GO WINGS!! I have lived in Colorado now for the past 5 yrs and LOVE going to the Wings vs. Avs game here. There are more people decked out in Wings gear than Avs and it's the Avs house! I always wear my lucky Wings jersey that Bob Probert…

I started eating better and working out again two Mondays ago and dropped 12 lbs in 12 days. Of course, then I started my time of the month so I'm heavier right now, but I realize the initial big loss won't continue. MFP set my calories at 1200 but only puts me at a 0.9lb weight loss every week. I hope to lose more than…

Great job!!!

I'm 4'11" and it's set at 1200

I'm just under 5'. My goal weight was 130 then 125 and I think I'll change it again once I hit that. I'm currently at 168, but started at 180 a couple of weeks ago. I think it'll be more of a "how I feel" thing once I get close to 125 and see if I'm happy there or if I decide I need to keep going and lose more. I know my…

43 with about 50lbs to lose. Feel free to add me! I had previously lost 115lbs between 2011 and 2012, but got lazy after I got married and put 50 back on. Now, we have a big vacation coming up in July and I want to get back into a bikini so I'm determined!!!

I weigh myself every Sunday morning before I do anything else. I know my weight fluctuates too much from day to day and I do not want to get discouraged by seeing the scale go up on those days.

I listen to music constantly!!!

I know. For now I'm finding recipes that aren't super long so I can manually enter them

Right? That's the thing...I have no idea what to trust!!

I have 2 small tats and want more. I LOVE them!

I use Silk almond milk with mine. I like the vanilla light version, but there are chocolate and coconut ones too.

Friends here would be great! Feel free to add me :)

Right - which is exactly what I did. All of the ingredients and serving sizes are correct - but the nutritional value was way off compared to the recipe from food.com. That was my original post. Why does this happen and which caloric count am I to go off of?

So are y'all saying that MFP has the nutrition amounts right and the creator of the recipe does not? All of the correct information imported from the food.com website into MFP, servings and all. Everything was correct but on one dish MFP said the calorie count was only 174, while the website said 280...big difference! I…

I'm in. I want to lose at least 25lbs by Christmas!
