As sad as this sounds but the main difference in my appearance is that I don't look swollen. When folk see me now they look at me like "WTF" is different and then they come to the same conclusion, no one ever comments on my weight loss and its non existence. I would be lying if I said that I do not feel better, look better…

I understand and am open to advice on how to convert my many burn calories per workout into actual weight loss. It is so frustrating to be stuck at the same old three month weight.I don't give up because I keep hoping that next week or month I will see a difference. I might sound nutty but MFP keeps me faithful to the…

i agree with this

I sooooooooo understand what you are saying. Therefore, I believe that something is off. For example maybe what we record, what we consider exercise and what we calculate as portion.

1673 is my remaining calorie today and I had a home made salad for dinner. I know for a fact that I didn't have much of a solid meal today but I am up to 1245 and my daily goal is 1200. I over worked out today because of yesterday and because I haven't lost much weight eating up my workout calories, I want to get it…

Your reply made me smile. I am not going to give up. thank You so much

I understand and do it in other ways. For example if I have a cocktail I wont have a snack because of the diary and simply put the drink calorie in and as my snack diary. In the end I am faking myself. I tend to make my calorie more than it is even when I am guessing. If something is 60 calorie I will put 100 incase the…

So you do not eat back your work out calorie and still lost weight?

Thank You

I have 1160 calorie remaining bc of my WO and I'm thinking I wont be able to eat all that up. I'm already up to 1500 today (300 more than my daily intake). What to do? Maybe happy hour?

?. If I don't what?

My set daily goal is 1200 and I want to lose 35 pounds.

WOW, Thanks

OMG! this is exactly what I just said to myself. Where are you placing the scale? is it a flat surface? I have lost 9 pounds and NOBODY has mentioned anything nor have they even hinted of a difference but the scale say's I haven't lost in about 5 weeks!

I understand more than you know. I just posted something similar and am waiting for answer. One thing I have decided is to up my workout and see if that works. I spin for an hour, run and walk and I got on the scale yesterday and I swear I almost pass out in sadness. I got on the scale that I swear does not work and it…

Guys, I got on the scale that I swear does not work and it claims I lost not even an inch, not even air. Now I just place a free 5pound weight on it and it says it's 5pound, I placed the scale on top of a heavy rug, put the 5pound free weight on it and it still says five pound, I got on it on the heavy rug and it says I…

How long have been on MFP and how much have you lost? You sound so "on it" in your answers, thank you.

It has only been about 7 pounds since January 2011 so I tend not to eat all my exercise calorie back but I still don't lose much weight. I do the spin bike for an hr or I run for an hr or both. Is the calorie burn calculation a bit more than norm? Anyway, thank you so much for replying it makes a huge difference. The…

so If my net is -407 because I lost 800 with exercise and have eaten 400 in food calorie with a 1200 daily intake, what am I to count or add or subtract or what? I don't alway eat what I loose in exercise to loose more weight. HELP

I'm with you and in the same boat. I have lost 9 pounds only in three months. So depressing! I'm 155 and have 40 more ponds to go. What have you been doing for exercise? I'm so happy you reached out because I was beginning to feel alone.

good work

wow. I have been on it for two weeks and haven't lost anything. I bike on a spin bike for an hour a day and I think (sadly enough) that this is the reason the scale is not showing that I've lost weight. Your right about being told that cardio is the ticket to weight loss but turning fat into muscle is still not losing…
