Hi! Excited to join y'all! I just finished the last day of the first section of the Gauntlet (transform 90). I use a pattern of 6 weeks of training intensely and one week active recovery. My "intense training" is M/Tu: 2 mile walk (30 min), 45 min Peloton cycle class, Jillian app workout Wed: 2 mile walk, 45 min light yoga…

Hubs is pissed I'm still talking to y'all, do I'm out too. Hope y'all have a fantastic weekend!

This isn't over a day. This is over a week. My usual weigh day is Monday but I went early tonight

Look. After being stuck at exactly 182.8 for so long, I'm taking this as I started eating back some of my exercise calories and the scale moved. I must not be as stupid as y'all think.

Apparently. :-/ at least I can feel vindicated. :-D

Update: finally! Down 2 lbs since last Friday! Guess I'm doing fine!

hate to disagree, but the WORK is the eating well and exercising. logging it into an app is the easy part.

because i haven;t been counting calories on this site it doesnt count?

well based on everyone in RL that i;ve talked to, who knows how i eat and work out etc, the advice was to eat more. so i was asking if y'all agreed with that and how long to see results.

yeah but MFP is not a first resort. i've been counting calories and working out like a beast for 6 months. so it feels pretty dang depressing.

i do want to thank you for your help. i'm sorry i frustrated you and made you feel lied to. i really am.

and that's why i came here- because i am so brokenhearted and depressed at how hard i work and how careful i've been and hoe stuck i am. i thought someone could encourage me to not lose hope because i'm just at the end of my rope.

yeah i get that but i never asked you guys to question or evaluate what i'm eating only if the theory i am trying to follow is correct. i'm not accountable to prove myself to you before asking a question am i?

sorry. i'm jsut sitting here shaking and crying because i didn't expect all this, i really approached it all wrong and if i came off stubborn i'm sorry.

ok. eat more, log faithfully. i get that. i'll do it and pray i don't drive myself crazy. i'm so sorry i offended all of you. i really didn't mean to. i'm new to message boards clearly and take things too personally. i guess i was looking to hear if what i was trying was on the right track and didn't expect quite the…

the cookies are paleo other than the oatmeal- they have no sugar other than the chocolate which i leave out. the sweet potato home fries came from a paleo cookbook. and the ranch dressing is Tessemae's made for paleo- dairy free olive oil based.

i appreciate all you are saying. i eat tons of fruit and veg, but much of it is contained in recipes. also we get our veg from a local farm share so lately it's been kinda potato heavy, which is annoying. i'm acutally gonna cancel that and get back to having more control.

all that stuff is recipes with measured amounts. the thigh filet thing is based on a 3oz serving and i do use a scale,

what it;s hard to see without looking at my recipes is that the "breakfast cookies" have apples, bananas, cranberries and i actually do eat tons of veggies. y'all are gonna hate this too, but we are Paleo otehr than oatmeal and occasional chipotle.

i'm a control freak. the variables scare me honestly. i've basically hovered at the same place since april no matter how i;ve eaten or exercised.

agreed. and the fact i'm breastfeeding, which is sadly probably the culprit as it has been for many. i don;t want to take that from my daughter early, but i'm so sick of feeling fat.

i've not lied. just because i didn't type it into an app doesnt mean it's not true, hell, typing it into an app doesnt make it true. i'm not asking you to evaluate that, only answer from the facts i;ve given you.

have you taken a spin class at a sustained 160-180bpm? done the JMBR workouts at 150-175 bpm sustained? as a 180 pound woman? i'm fairly confident in my burns. i will give the logging more time, because i do want to see if eating more helps.

i explained why i jsut started logging. because i get very ocd about controlling the food. because if i'm not careful anorexia is an issue. there. laid bare. happy now?

other than eating more, what do you suggest i change?

interesting. thanks!

other than eating more the past week my calories inhavent changed in months. i have a certtain set of meal/recipes that i;ve been eating. they have not changedexcept over the past week i've added more fats.

you guys are hilarious. someone comes on for support and you do nothing but try to tear them to shreds.
