I too am trying to cut body fat. Same trouble areas.

I recently increased mine from stalling. At first I slightly gained. But it's slowly coming off. I had been eating low calories for 18 months, so now it's a matter of re starting my metabolism. Your macros matter too. I'm at 40% carbs, 30% fat and 30% protein. I'm reaching those golds 90% of the time. You need to gradually…

Gotcha

My goal is to lose not maintain I'll try for 1600, it sometimes is a stretch.

So try to get to 1500? Yesterday I couldn't get there. I weighed today cause my hubby swore it was water weight, so I drank little extra water yesterday to flush out. Today 150.2

I haven't heard this one. How much do you take? Mixed with water?

For the most part, no. I do have a pair of jeans that are a little tighter in the thighs. But recently bought new jeans and still same size.

I have same issue and I'm already drinking 12-13 glasses of water per day.

I went back and looked it basically has stayed at 27 inches. If its 27.5 it's usually 27 again when I measure.

I measure at my belly button. Over last week it has bounced back and forth from 27 inches and 27.5 inches.

Oh this morning was a lovely 152.8

Pretty sure if the scale just keeps climbing, I'm going to start starving myself. ( Even though I know its the wrong way) Cause this depression hurts. I bust my butt. I know I do cause my body's always sore. I eat relativity healthy ( minus this weekend, Mother's Day) but instead of any success, my scale keeps climbing.

Ok

Well :(. Felt like I was on right track until this am Weight| Sunday 5/5- 151.6 Thursday 5/9 150.8 ( day after refeed) Friday 5/10 149.8 Sat 5/11 150.4 Sunday ( today) 5/12 151.4

I recently have had same issue. My gain started when I started lifting more. My measurements don't o up, just scale. So I knew I wasn't gaining fat. What's your calorie intake?

Bump Wondering that myself

Ok my diary is set at 1570 right now.

I had fun, felt good too. Today I'm at 149.8. Keep moving :) I'm struggling to find what my daily calorie intake should be now.

Yesterday's refeed 2,368 calories 50 g fat, 338 g carbs, 160 g protein Burned 661 calories This morning scale 150.8

Water weight

It's your diet. What you have logged isn't the best. You mentioned soda and that's a really bad choice too. If you were actually eating 1200 at a clean healthy diet it would be different. Definitely need more food. Food is fuel.

I'm in the same boat and I have been gradually increasing. Trying to get 20% less my TDEE. I know it can take a few weeks to work. I'm on week two. Waiting patiently.

A pound of fat weights the same as a pound of muscle

I get your frustration. I've been low calorie since October 2011. I stopped losing weight, then it was a yo yo. I then in February increased my weight lifting and have gained. Guessing muscle gain. I recently realized it is time to eat MORE to get back to losing.

Are you working out as well?

Here we go, refeed day. Mapped my food out. I'm at 2283. 47 g fat , 333 g carbs, 147g protein. Weighted in this am at 151. ( truly makes me want to cry). I was so happy at 140

I think there is still room to lose. Just can't seem to get fat loss while gaining muscle. That's my struggle.

Bump

Great job!!!! Keep moving fwd

Thanks I usually try to per log everyday to plan my day right. Will come in handy for this.
