Thanks and yes I'm set at sedentary. I also pay attention to fitbit's diet plan that changes based on my calorie expenditure and I'm always under. But I'll give weighing a try as well. And try to drink more water. I appreciate your responses.

On any given day, I've done about 25 mins of insanity (200 calories burned underestimating), I run a 9 min mile and i usually run a couple miles and walk at start and end (300 underestimating) and 30 mins with moderate to vigorous effort on a stationary bike (250 to 300). On light days I don't do insanity or if I'm lifting…

Nope, if anything i probably consume too much fiber

Goal weight? It was 150 but honestly I only care about the bf%, so the inch gained on my waist is what really troubled me.

Insightful, do tell more

I will try that and try cutting overall. Just seems a bit odd I've never had this problem before

When you eat prepackaged frozen salmon or a can of tuna it's about the same every time.. If it's off by an ounce every night it still shouldn't make me gain. There's not much of a calorie difference between 4 oz or 5 oz of salmon. I rarely ever eat rice or pasta, I could see weighing that. But I've never weighed anything…

I appreciate everyone's responses btw. Will try and cut more, drink more water, see what happens. Thanks

Why now and not at any other time during the time I've lost 200 lbs? I've had plateaus but not crazy gains. I'm consistent with everything I do.

Most nutrition facts are determined by volume. 1 tbsp peanut butter, 3/4 cup cereal, etc

Let's say all of you are right. I'm over eating. At a calculated 1200 net calories I'd have to be not counting an additional 1800 calories to account for 1 lb gained in a week. I've gone up 7 in 3 weeks. No way is that from miscalculation. My bmr is 1700 and I don't lie in bed all day so on average I burn 2500 per day with…

I don't eat much that requires weighing. Most of what I eat are vegetables or foods that get measured by cup or tbsp. I don't eat chicken beef or pork. I eat fish which I can eyeball 4 oz or beans which I measure by cup

Honestly I can't even get through all 40 or so minutes of insanity without burning out so I haven't really been doing the program according to the calendar, but I've been able to do more and doing it faster and once I can actually get through one video I'll do it 6 days a week like it suggests. I get sore but not…

I'm pretty good at measuring what I eat. I've been doing this for 4 years lol. I eat around 1700 to 2100 while burning around 600 to 900. My net calories are always around 1200 or so. I have a heart rate monitor that I use and I always write down less than what it says to underestimate bc they tend to overestimate. But…

Thanks again for you response. I think you're right about too much cardio. I'm also interested in thyroid work done. Some good news and to be honest I don't know why or how, but I'm finally under that 204 number that I've been stuck to. Weighed today and was 202. Let me knock on some wood!

Thanks for your reply. I ate anywhere between 1900-2300 for about 2 months, had gained the 13 lbs and made a small cut in intake as suggested and i ended up staying the same. But I guess i didn't stick with it long enough, those extra 13 lbs were really uncomfortable, made my jeans a tighter fit, shirts more snug, etc.…

i tried that, gained 13 pounds, and lost 13 pounds, now back to square one.

quite possibly i am not burning as much while sedentary as these calculators, etc suggest

thanks for your repsonse. I think my metabolism is depressed or something, perhaps that's a myth too. But the advice here said I would gain at maintenance because i had been "undereating" and i did eventually level off where i didn't gain, but once i made cuts i still didn't lose. I didn't lose the added weight until i…

bump

BUMP: So it's been 3 months. I followed the advice here, upped my calories to maintain. I ended up gaining 13lbs (from 204-217). I didn't waver. I stuck with it and my weight leveled off at 217. So then i cut about 3-400 calories to start losing again. Nothing. Weeks and weeks...nothing! So instead of being stuck at 204 I…

Thank you so much for the kind words

Thanks for the reply. I am about 28mm around the waist. I have not done my back or arm, but I think I am around 32%. 150 is just the mid range for my height and that's why I chose that as my goal, but I am confident if I can lose mostly fat, I can reach 150. The number isn't the most important thing to me anyway, it's the…

Thanks so much for your responses. To answer your questions, yes I measure everything and log everything. My calorie burns are close to accurate, they come from the recumbent bike and treadmill I use. I realize these numbers are estimates though. I will try your suggestions and eat back up to 1900 calories. I'll probably…
