You aren't getting a bunch of nutrients through juicing. Just some vitamins and sugar. If you want to drink your calories, a smoothy would be a better option. I prefer to eat, but that's just my personal preference.

I think a lot of people just care about getting the weight off, and don't realize the benefits of strength training. They're more focused on creating large calorie deficits. If the scale hasn't budged for quite awhile, it's because you're likely not in a calorie deficit. Sounds like a problem with your diet, not your…

I agree with this. A nutritionist will likely just give you a generic list of foods that you should and shouldn't eat. It's a waste of money. Stick to your goal, cut out the cheat meals and only eat back half of your exercise calories.

This poster was implying that you're eating more than 1200 calories per day without realizing it. Which is likely true. Opening your diary would be helpful.
-
I log around 50 calories burned for 30 minutes of strength training.

Time for a new cat.

Vegetables are good for you, but not necessary for weight loss. He just needs to eat fewer calories than he burns, regardless of the source of calories. Grilled vegetables are pretty amazing. But when I say grilled I mean over a flame, on the BBQ pit. Best way to eat vegetables!!

Anything low cal + hot sauce. I also like the spicy pickle suggestion.

No. I have a problem eating too many peanut butter cups, though. Or right now....peanut butter eggs. :p

I took it as the alcohol was making her throw up.

This sounds like an appropriate number. If you log exercise, beware of the calorie burns MFP gives you. It tends to give a very large, unrealistic number. If you choose to eat them back, cut them in half.

I would download an app (I use Happy Scale) and weigh yourself every day. Same time, under the same conditions. I weigh myself every morning when I first wake up, with no clothes on, after I pee. Be consistent with it. There will be ups and downs, but if the trend is downward, you know you're doing it right. Once you start…

How often do you weigh yourself?
-
I will say that I don't think at you're size your burning 600 calories during your workout. I'm small in size too, and I'd have to bust my *kitten* pretty hard for much longer than an hour to burn 600 calories. It appears to be a mix of strength and cardio, your heart rate monitor isn't going to give you an accurate…

Eating too little and working out too much can be unhealthy and make you feel bad, but it isn't going to make you lose weight more slowly, or stop you from losing weight. Do you log your "cheat" meals? Are they enough to where it can be putting a large dent in your weekly deficit?
-
You're talking a difference of 30 calories here. I would just leave it as is since you have your Fitbit synced to your account.
-
I always feel weak and tired after having blood taken. I usually have a jelly donut right afterward...for some reason it makes me feel better.
-
There are a lot of factors that will throw off your CICO and cause weight loss to be non linear. Both your CI and your CO are estimates. We can take measures to be sure those estimates are as accurate as possible, but they are still just estimates. It isn't going to be 100% every time. Plus add in weight fluctuations due…
-
Yes. You'll have to be very diligent with your intake, though. Log accurately, avoid "cheat" days and meals, and stick with the goal MFP gives you.

5'6, 116lbs. Winter (non active) TDEE is a sad 1650-1750. Spring and Summer when I'm more active, I'm closer to the 2000 mark, maybe slightly under. That is with lifting 3x a week and daily walks with my dog.
-
From what I've read, you don't need any advice...you're doing everything right and still losing weight. Estimates are just that, estimates. It's never going to be 100% perfect. 4lbs in a month is a good loss, keep it up.
-
The good thing about that is if you go with the original glazed, Krispy Kremes are pretty easy to fit into your diet. 200 calories is low compared to a lot of other donuts.
-
I usually only feel guilt if I've REALLY gone overboard for several days in a row. Last night I logged my nice, low cal Subway sandwich I planned on eating which fit perfectly into my day. On the way there, I saw a Chipotle and my 450 sandwich turned into a 1000 calorie burrito. No regrets, it was totally worth it.

I find that most of the "weight" I gain on vacation is water weight and is gone within a week of returning. I tend to move more on vacation, so it offsets the higher calorie days some.
-
This. I get one vacation a year....I make the most out of it.
-
It really just depends on how and where you carry your weight.
-
Well, if you aren't losing weight, you're eating at maintenance. So your calories in and/or calories out calculations are off somewhere. Changing the type of foods you're eating won't help unless by changing them you create a calorie deficit.
-
It doesn't look like it's unhealthy or unsafe, but it isn't really going to make you lose weight unless it helps you create a larger deficit. How long were you not losing weight when you decided to try this diet? EDIT: Looked at your previous entries vs. the planned ones, the calories aren't that different. It looks to me…
-
OP, my TDEE is pretty low in the winter time (1650-1700), because I'm very inactive. It's a few hundred calories higher when the weather warms up. My method for maintaining is a deficit during the week, so I can go higher on the weekends. It makes it easy to enjoy social events where there is a lot of food and drink…
