I sort of get it I think. But if by 57 you have not worked out self control and worked out how to do it without tools, what makes you think you will work it out now ? I'm 44 myself and been at it for 4 years now getting healthier and weight control being part of that. The scale is a tool like many other tools and frankly I…

Wiki might be your friend here. I would say you were moderately active based on the info you give. You are likely more than that but depending on your own goal you might prefer to "under" estimate activity level ? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physical_activity_level

How many gadgets you got. You going out like robo cop ? Sorry couldn't resist. I know all the data is addictive :-)
-
Wow. Not arguing at all. Just seemed pretty low compared to what I had read as I said. Maybe your a really efficient walker.
-
Sorry but no cardio burns more than weight lifting, and I love lifting weights, but I can burn a lot more calories running.. And I'm not sure I have a special type of walking whether I am doing excercise specific walks or walking between office building - I sorta just put one foot in front of the other. Excercise that is…
-
Not arguing here, but 400 for 20,000 steps seems a bit lower than even I would expect and I'm quite the pessimist - Is your activity level already set quite high ? It does of course matter how intense the steps are right, but I would have expected quite a bit more than 400.. unless it was very very slow walks. Looked up…

You say you are weighing your food, but I see packets and muffins and squares. Unless you have scale I am unaware of these are not weights. Weigh everything in grams if you can and use the correct entry in the datavase. You are eating more than you think.
-
Ok so I think you have your answer there then. It is almost half the days you have not logged in the past 3 weeks and as a consequence you have not lost anything. ETA : I just wanted to add that apart from the missing your logging looks quite good. Some things are a bit dodgy in the sense of potentially quite off - like…

I have a question re your exercise just so I can understand things better. On Tuesday your have a fitbit adjustment which looks reasonable, but you also have aerobic high impact burning 433 in 55 minutes. That seems quite a high burn rate. I appreciate you did not eat all those calories back that day but just want to make…
-
OK, but this is the thing - whatever you are doing is not working, so start with the basics again and see how it works out for you. You have nothing to lose and just now it is bothering you so start from scratch weighing food for a couple of weeks and see how it goes.
-
So when you weighed food the first time it worked. You don't anymore and it doesn't work. OP I think you know what you need to do. Do what worked in the past. Weigh your food.

My one tip that helped me when I stalled was to tighten up my loggiing. I've been through this a couple times on cut /bulk/cut and as soon as I get close to my BF and weight target the loss seems to flatten out. What I have learnt is it is all me, I loosen up on my very accurate logging, I slip in extra snacks without…
-
Are these measurements taken from one of those body scales. If I were you I would disregard the information, other than weight which seems to be the only accurate measure they give.
-
Get on a progressive weightlifting program. Something like stronglifts, go three times a week, do the set/reps and then you are done. Personally I would hold off on the cardio until later or if you want to burn calories to get some back to eat then do cardio, do something you enjoy. For me I hate doing cardio in the gym,…
-
I remember the first time I did squats proper. I could not lower myself to sit the following day. Happy days. Use your own judgement, if I had to take a rest day every day I had doms i would likely hit the gym once a week. I do tend to vary what major muscle group I work though and also as far as squats go my leg doms…

I have -Fitbit App -stronglifts app -JEFIT APP (work outs for accessory work) -bounts (collect points for activity and get vouchers uk only I think) -happy scale -runkeeper for my cardio

If you didn't eat enough calories hen you would be losing weight. Is that the case ? If you are not tracking your intake you have no idea how many calories you are eating.
-
I also ignore my strength training and don't count any. But I do eat about half of my cardio calories back while cutting. I find if I don't eat some back I get really sluggish near the end of a cut to the extent that I am unable to do much useful exercise anyway.
-
Well good for you, but that still does not make anything you have said imperial measures.
-
1 sachet and 2 pcs and about 14 pcs are not imperial measure and for that matter neither is 1.15 servings. Imperial would be oz, lb and stone.
-
Sorry I am failing to find what is upsetting or stressful exactly. You think you have lost more that the scale is showing ? You've lost a lb a week so again what is upsetting and traumatic ?
-
I see lots of cups and tablespoons. Get a good scale and weigh everything in grams. Measuring the way you are you will be eating more than you think you are.
-
Where to start on this one. So how do you think you got overweight ? Seriously ? Your either going to get real with yourself or your not. Just now you sound like you might be in denial.
-
Echoing what everyone is saying here. Motivation is what gets you started but it is pure determination and habit that keeps the momentum going. Going for a run, going to the gym these are things I just do now, after 3 years I cannot think of not doing them. Some mornings my motivation is low, I feel myself making excuses…

Your diary is still not open. Edited to remove incorrect info and to diregard your post.
-
Its all about consistency. Consistency in the gym, in the kitchen day in day out that makes amazing results. You'll get there.
-
Also look at what other people posted about your stats. I.e getting closer to goal. It might just be having less to lose is gonna take a bit longer. Keep it up.
