OP, you can look here at regular human bodies: mybodygallery.com Everyone's bodies will be different. Person A and Person B are the same age, weight, and height, but Person A lost 200 lbs and Person B has never been overweight. Although their stats are the same, their bodies are likely to look different.

If you think 1700 is too much, do 1600.

Determination. Will power. What do you want more: to lose weight/be more healthy or to binge food?

Take a sick day, that's what they are for. Besides, in your post you said you haven't gone in over a month, a much more serious issue than only going twice a week-which can be completely normal.

Eat less than you burn, and you will lose weight. No need to find time for exercise unless that is something you want to put time in to. Don't be drastic and don't expect the weight to come off in a month. Start with 2lbs a week and if you feel like that's too extreme, drop to 1 lb per week. If you feel like that is too…

Once it passed 1 week of no pooping, you should have made the trip to your doctor. You'd put your life into the hands of random people on the internet over seeing someone who has years of medical experience because it's only 3 hours out of the way. 5-6 hours of travel to figure out what's wrong and to feel better seems…

Generally, you should .5 lbs per week for every 25 lbs you need to lose. If you just want to lose 20lbs, set your goal to .5 lbs per week

All you need to do to lose weight is eat less calories than your body burns. However, unless you are particularly short, 1200 seems low. People who choose a too aggressive goal tend to either give up and binge or gain all their weight, plus more, back.

Whatever you want. Some people weigh themselves one day a week, one day a month, or every single day. No one way is best. You can try weighing yourself everyday, but if you get discouraged by daily fluctuations, switch to once a week.

Huh.. well I've lost 16 pounds in about 1 month by weighing all my food and not going over 1800 calories everyday, am I eating too much? lol
-
That is as much as a "fact" that people struggle to lose weight. Only people who struggle are though who do it rashly. It is a simple math equation. Person A weighs 110 lbs and maintains that weight at about 1400 calories, let's say. If they eat 1500 calories they will gain weight. Are you saying its hard to eat a 100…

I have PCOS. I don't track carbs at all. I have a deficit of about 1000 kcal and i've been losing weight accordingly. You should be asking your doctor/nutritionist this question anyway
-
I've never had more than a 3-5 lbs difference at my doctor's vs a home scale. This can be explained by the factor that I'm wearing clothes and have eaten food. Just pick one scale. Keep it in one spot in your home. Weigh yourself at the same time of day. If you weigh yourself daily or even weekly, expect some fluctuations.

Are you eating back your exercise calories? If not, there you go. If you're still hungry, either your mind is playing with you or you need to up your calories.

I was vegetarian and 360 lbs. So, no.

You have a few options. - You can fast/eat lightly on days you know you will be going out. - Order something light. Like a salad with non-creamy dressing or dressing on the side. - Only eat about half of your plate if you order something heavy. Restaurants give very large servings in the US. - You don't have drink alcohol.…

Learning self control and telling yourself "no".

Because it's attention seeking. People who aren't insecure don't go posting half naked photos of themselves on the internet fishing for compliments

No one needs fruit. Many like it, however.

The larger you are, the more you will have to lose to drop a size. I'm 350 lbs and wear 4X. I won't fit into 3X again until I'm around 280 ish. and then 2X at around 220 lbs.

One person's junk is another man's treasure.

Alcohol tastes so gross.

Depends on what I feel like eating that day. Am I going to spend 800 calories on half a pizza tonight? If so, it's something like Meal #1: 250 Meal #2: 250 Meal #3: 250 Meal #4: 800 Snack: 150 If I'm not trying to save up for a huge meal, it's more like Meal #1: 250 Meal #2: 400 Meal #3: 400 Meal #4: 500 Snack: 250

Are you using a food scale to measure your food?
-
Except... You're giving credit to IF for the weight loss.
-
Yes Please
-
There are so many reasons why you could have gained 1 pound in one week. - Not pooping - Weighing during different times of the day - High sodium - New to exercise - etc. If you really think you are eating at a deficit, give it time. If you haven't lost anything in 1 month or so, perhaps contact your doctor.
-
IF isn't the reason you lost weight. The reason you lost weight is because you consumed less then you burned. This isn't to discount IF. It works wonderfully for some people to manage hunger. It's not for everyone but it's worth a try.

It looks like you are only using measuring cups to help you count calories. While, they can be fairly accurate, sometimes with high calorie foods like cheese or peanut butter, they can be 50+ calories off. I'd suggest you get a food scale (~$15 from Walmart or Amazon).
