What's your activity level set to? If it's 'Active' or something other than sedentary, you possibly haven't burned enough extra calories above your activity level to give you additional adjustments. Also what skinnyrev mentioned about making sure to enable negative adjustments.

Same here..I also have the Versa 2 and eat back the majority of the calories it says I burn. My weight seems to be reacting accordingly as I would expect.

😅🤣 I just had to laugh about the "dipwit" tablespoons, because you're so right on that. 😂😂😂 Yeah, it may be great for spices and some liquids, but just trying to measure out chunky peanut butter with those things is ridiculous. I'd put measuring cups in your dipwit category too. I can pack a ton of ice cream into a 1/2 cup…

Yeah, I have several jars of different brands of pb in my cabinet and every one of them say 32g for 2 tbsp as well. I doubt every peanut butter jar is mysteriously wrong.

I love to cook too..its like one of favorite passtimes. I guess for me the difference is that I didn't really start to get invested more into it until the last five to ten years or so, and by then I was already using the food scale. It sort of just became part of the routine. I just know from the few experiences I've tried…
-
Patience, grasshopper...its not even been two weeks yet. That's not enough time to judge anything. For context, I usually do not see any kind of a drop on the scale until 3 or 4 weeks in. Stay the course and trust the process. If after about 4 weeks you don't see a change, re-evaluate. One thing that may be happening is…
-
First, weight loss is not linear. It is very unlikely that you will see a drop on the svale every week like clockwork during the course of your weight loss. Stalls (it isn't considered a "plateau" until about 4 weeks of no loss) are very common. Normally I'd say just keep staying the course but... The course you've been…
-
Yep, I have never been able to eyeball anything I've gotten so used to using my food scale that I'm not sure what I'd do without it. It certainly saves me on having to wash exrra dishes!! I mean, I've never really understood why people are so opposed to using it sometimes (well, I mean, other than folks suffering or who…

Butter here, and actually more ghee than butter, if I have to be honest. Not because it's "healthier" (it's not), but because I love curry and the flavor just isn't the same without the ghee in some of them. Usually it ends up breaking down to no more than a tablespoon or less per serving, so I don't think it's that big of…
-
Unless I'm misreading something here, that doesn't sound like a three month plateau to me?? That sounds like a 3-5 lb loss in the past month.

Calories.

Yeah, I think I remember your threads, OP. You had the weekly binge day, along with a weekly cheat day/meal, and eating large plates of pasta at night, right? First, the time of day doesn't matter when you eat. It has negligible, if any effect at all, on your weight. The binge day, though, definitely. That's the one you…
-
First, hopefully it will be reassuring that your friend isn't necessarily correct. THEY might lose after two weeks but that doesn't mean YOU will. (For reference, I personally don't start seeing a loss reflect on the scale until about 3 to 4 weeks later) Each body is different so weight loss can happen a bit differently.…

I love LMOD. I did Bodypump in my gym for about 7 years before COVID hit. Since then I've cancelled the gym membership and have been doing programs by Les Mills...really loving Sh'Bam and BodyCombat!
-
Well, the thing is, you may not necessarily be eating more calories than WW to lose weight. It's just that your calorie allowance is higher with MFP. The reason I say this is that a lot of times, people end up having issues losing weight on WW because of their uncounted "free foods" list. Those "free foods" are not calorie…

^^this I have always had my macros at the 50 carbs/30 fats/ 20 protein default split and never changed them. I went from 241lbs to 170lbs and never paid much attention at all to where my fat and carb macro counts fell. As long as I am getting close to my protein macro, that's really the only thing I worry about. Macros…

I do this sometimes in the little space before dinner and it's really helpful! I did this yesterday, in fact, and by the time I got ready to eat I wasn't skarfing down my food in two seconds. Instead, since I wasn't feeling so hungry I was able to slow down a bit and enjoy it.
-
I have to say that is one nice aspect of the distancing stuff...seems like every year I had to deal with a cold or two. Not this year!
-
Ohhh, I forgot about toaster streudel, with those little packets of frosting/glaze for thr top...I may have to pick some up this week. I haven't that those in a loooong time.
-
Yeah, I got sucked into that once...someone was raving about some recipe they made on my MFP feed. I tried it and I was..not happy. The texture was just not right.
-
I mean, if you use the tea as a replacement for snacking, as some do, it may work for weight loss in the sense that you'd be consuming fewer calories. Does drinking the tea, in and of itself, do something magical, though? No, I don't believe so. I guess I've never really understood what exactly it is "detoxing".
-
I'm assuming it has more to do with the gastro effects of such a drastic diet change, as Ann described above.
-
Pumpkin spice "hummus" is a thing too. Some things just get carried away.. I'll go so far as to admit that chocolate and tahini are a delicious combo (chocolate tahini brownies *swoon*), so it might be ok in hummus, but... I think it needs to drop the "hummus" label at that point and just be called a dip.
-
I'm also guessing several of those disagrees came from folks who read the thread you created about this (I did not hit the disagree button, FTR)
-
Just curious..what would give you that impression? If anything, a higher fat snack could be more satiating. I just hit the big 4-0 this month myself. I haven't noticed any additional hurdles with weight loss yet....still works the same way it always did for me. :)
-
^^This, along with tofu, beans,and some grains like quinoa, and protein bars/cookie butters. I'm not completely vegetarian, but I'd say I'm about 95% there. Protein doesn't necessarily have to equal meat.
-
And to expand on that, I wear 1940s/50s style vintage dresses. I'm in that average category (5'6", 171 lb)...modern sizing puts me in sizes 8/10 for women. My vintage dresses are 14/16.
-
That's a good visual for describing it. Makes sense to me. I think lockdown has been helpful in one regard..I've been taking time away from group exercise classes that I thought were good, but maybe not so much. I definitely don't want injuries.
-
I don't see any issue with drinking a shake for breakfast..some people don't even eat breakfast at all. "Nearly a week" sounds like it hasn't even been a week yet...you don't just start losing immediately just because you're in a calorie deficit (assuming you are). Weight loss doesn't work that way. It can take as long as…
