http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/937709-in-place-of-a-road-map-ver-3-0 Read this and follow it, find out how many calories you should be eating stick with it and watch the weight fly off. your weight can fluctuate by anything up to 6lbs a day from large meals, sodium intake, water retention form training muscles ...…

I agree and disagree with the comment here. AGREE: because weight loss from calorie control only causes you to reduce fat, water and muscle mass DISAGREE: Some larger people who need to lose a large amount of weight need to do so first before attempting strenuous exercise (more than walking etc) For me it's simple I use…

If i really push myself and work hard i can hit around 900 cals in a 55 min spin and abs class. I think it does depend on height/ weight and amount of muscle you have. But I do agree with erickirb so long as you are in a healthy TDEE - % range

Funnily enough I am sticking to this, for the first time in my life i'm not underrating i'm happy healthy eat well and train hard. I have since starting this journey after recovering from my ACL tear I've learnt about nutrition and what the body really needs and not what these fad diet or companies tell you. If you want to…

Everyone's body reacts differently I bet she's A. eating a lot more than that but junk food and B her metabolism has succumb to having such a low intake that it takes everything it can from the food she intakes

You eat weight watcher food 'cos it's "convenient" no I'm sorry but thats called being lazy. You need to sort out your issues with food. The reason binge is because your body is crying out for food as you are eating so low and staving your body of valuable nutrients. This isn't a diet if you want to lose weight and keep it…

I have cheese strings, it gives me my release from cheese cravings and is a good source of calcium and only 69 cals so fits nicely in my macros

Low fat foods are full of crap and more likely make you gain weight, make good choices but eat what you want if you stay within your calorie intake. As a fyi i eat 2200 calories a day (ok i am a man, taller, heavier etc) but i use my TDEE - a 20% deficit and im losing 2ish lbs of fat a week and the inches are flying off. I…

Ditto tried it, didn't like it always found my self unaware eating or binging

For me personally following Lean Gains and Intermittent Fasting as it fits into my daily routine. I eat all my calories (currently 2400) in a 6-8 hour window than fast for 16 hours. I have no cravings, i dont binge, and my energy levels are always maintained for work hours/ gym routines. My current routine is Spinning 4 X…

Just as an addition to my previous post I had the PTB reconstruction if that makes any difference in recovery and i don't wear a knee brace or any kind of support. Chicks dig scars right? lol

I wonder how much of that Weight includes lean mass resulting in muscle loss which can lead to higher body fat % and lose saggy skin regardless of what you weigh, Been there done that ended up gaining the weight back-

1- You may be over estimating calories burned and under estimating what you're eating/ drinking 2- Cardio is for fitness/ stamina yes you will lose weight but weight = fat, water, bone AND muscle to lose fat add strength training into your program and watch those inches fly off while the body fat % goes up 3- work out your…

i tore my ACL at 20 years old playing American football (yes i know im from the UK lol). I will be 25 in August and although thinking about it I've been fit 2-3 years I have only just mentally become fit enough to religiously exercise its time and patience and building yourself back into it. I would suggest swimming, bike…

Ditto, my weight can fluctuate by anything up to 7 lbs after a heavy lifting sessions so i check in with myself but only record once a fortnight on a friday morning first thing after going to the bathroom, and completely stakers lol

Most important question to ask is how much are you eating. honestly, not to catch you out just honesty so i can give correct advice and my opinion

If you have no knowledge on a subject why comment. It is not a diet it's a lifestyle change in eating patterns If you would like to lean more there are many methods of Intermittent Fasting but I always recommend Lean Gains.

Great that your using IF but please up your calories to a healthy intake follow the TDEE and BMR information, the idea is to eat your normal intake of food. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/937709-in-place-of-a-road-map-ver-3-0

I follow the lean gains approach and eat in a 6-8 hour window always fasting for 16 hours. This plus lifting heavy 3 times a week ive seen the inches fly off the weight go down but only fat loss and no muscle loss maybe even some gains as im stronger and leaner. i eat all my calories in that feeding window took me a few…

Adding on from this i lift heavy and i lose 2 lbs a week of FAT, this wont keep up forever i know but im gaining muscle which is speeding up my metabolism to burn more. it's not about losing weight as that equals muscle, bone, water and fat your goal should be to lose FAT

That is way too low now wonder you're going over and beating yourself up about it. Rwad up about BMR AND TDEE- you're practically starving yourself and are craving fatty foods that will help you make up the difference leading to binges. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/937709-in-place-of-a-road-map-ver-3-0 For you…

Had a bad morning during circuit training today. I was flagging and wasn't' too happy then i say my HRM and another 759 cals burned in a 45 min class. Moral of the story you're going to have good days and bad days in your head, but your body will always have a good day after a workout

Even this is too little, it's great you are losing weight but is it fat or muscle too? Do you put any strength training into your workout plan? I once got myself down to about 13 stone (5'11 man) but was ill, tired and grouchy all the time I had lost a large amount of muscle mass but body fat went slightly up. This time…

Pretty much echoing everyone here. your body had got used to your exercise plan and the amount of calories you intake so its balanced your metabolism to take this in. Shock it by upping your calories to match your TDEE - a 20% deficit. Here is a great link to follow to help. Since i followed this I've lost over a stone in…

I started at a weight loss target but as I get stronger and leaner I've realised sod the weight number I want to be better than before, I want to be cut and feel confident. it's already starting to show as people are treating me differently (in a good way) If I was to up my weight again so what, IF its lean muscle. The…

YES YES YES YES YES! We are changing a lifestyle of bad habits into something sustainable and not short term! make changes to fix your life rather than to fix your weight. a happy and healthy life will give you a happy and healthy weight

That will be because you have a lot more weight to lose than others and it's not something your doctor will keep you on forever

use this one http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/#projectedweightloss

I set my goals myself rather than following MFP as they had me eating at way too low for my liking that wasn't A practical for a normal life and B not safe for my TDEE. Give this forum post a read and set the goals yourself. I eat about 1850 calories a day on non workout days and about 2200-2400 on workout days My goal is…

AMEN!!! eat more to lose more when working hard!
