When within 25 pounds of goal, one should aim for .5 pound/loss a week. It will be very slow. It will be frustrating. But given time it will work.

Thank you for the stretch. I started walking to work this week and stretching has never felt so good!

6 cups water 1 cup coffee. I know my evenings and will be drinking 2 cups with dinner and 1 cup before bed. :)

Lol I am a Pear and had heard all my life that Pear was the most dreaded, that Apple was more desired. Apples get to wear shorty shorts on their quickly slimming legs and don't lose chest measurements as fast as Pears. My MIL is Apple and looks good when she takes care of herself (farm woman). If you are looking to change…

Posting what town might help. :)

You pulled a muscle. Muscle injuries involve retaining water for repair. You aren't going into starvation mode on 2300/day, you also aren't building a pound of fat a day on that count. Have you kept up on water intake as you've reduced your exercise?

In. I've been fluctuating, 6-10 cups a day, but I like the group accountability. :)

Yeah big boned really is a thing. Different breeds of dogs is a great way to illustrate it! From what I understand of the wrist test, if I measured it anywhere other than the bone --no fat there--I'd be doing it wrong. I am 5'6" which puts my healthy BMI at something like 120-150. So why I felt so great in this picture at…

I'd eat more than 1600 if I were working out 3 hours/day. What are your stats and how long did it take to lose those 10?

Eat it back. How are you measuring calories burned? Some ways are more accurate than others.

And you better eat back your burned HIIT calories, gotta fuel the machine.

Aw man I am sorry! It'll pass eventually. Find something to keep you busy, like a walk or jog or get a friend and go to a museum. Make a poster of his face and throw darts at it. Listen to your favorite music and just keep busy.

What are your daily calorie goals and stats? Height, current weight, age, activity level?

Congrats on the new little one! So, this is my breakfast today; it's full of work coffee and so forth. However. I will have a can of Coke Zero this afternoon. I have cut down from a Big Gulp to a can a day, and have no plans to cut further at this point. If it fits and helps you reach goals then go for it!

When I am 100% certain of my logging and see I have 300 calories, I treat myself to a blended ice cream shake with added vanilla protein. The ice cream feels like a huge treat and the protein is a little something extra for my macros (I'd rather be over on that than the others lol). I've also chilled coffee and blended it…

I log and eat around 10% of the burn MFP gives me. This is enough for a lite snack after. I am overall sedentary and manually set my daily goal to 1500/day. I am losing steadily at 1.5-2 lbs/week so it's working for me. If I was losing more I'd bump it up to 25% eating back.

I :heart: this post!

@heathermckaye351 how tall are you? 1430 isn't going to be too much but it may not be as much as you could eat.

I know money is an issue but is there any possibility you could go to a hair stylist and ask for help? For the confidence to leave the house, at least. I lost a little hair a few years ago, went to a stylist and she helped me feel a lot better about it. It started growing back a good 8 months later.

This actually explains a few things for me. Thank you!

The one I bought from Amazon with a tare function is just great. Title is AmazonBasics Digital Scale with LCD Display. It's got 4.5 stars and will weigh in grams, ounces, pounds, mL. It's at $12.99 right now.

Lol dude, you've asked some weird and seemingly extreme questions on here, but this one takes the cake.

She should get a second opinion from another doctor.

Lol, sounds like everyone here is going to the wrong buffets! :grin:

You know it's coming. Eat under goal around 100~ calories/ day, this will give you an extra 700-ish weekly deficit to absorb the extra calories at the buffet. Then go eat, drink water and enjoy! And don't derail the next day!

No one asks :) Well, except Dietbet. And my weight that day is literally whatever the photo of the scale says.

I love buffets! I start out by saving the lion's share of calories for that meal. Then I start the meal with a salad and drink water. Then one plate of whatever I want! And maybe a dessert but not usually. I might be a bit high the next day but I drink water and am back down in a day or two. There's no way that I can eat…

Are you weighing at home too, or is this the first weigh in you've done in 5 weeks?

Weight loss isn't linear. What are your current stats and goal weight?

Meh. I do lots of things daily that many may consider unhealthy. I look in the mirror, put on makeup, dress nicely (maybe change if I don't like it)... These could be symptoms of narcissism, but in my case they aren't as there are no other symptoms and I don't obsess over my looks the majority of the day. Same with daily…
