That is interesting that worked for you... kinda sounds like what could be happening for me if I am accurately counting my calories, but like you said I'm scared of weight gain so I'm afraid to up my calories

Reallyy?? that is what my mom thinks, that I need to be patient I'll have results in time... she lost 25 pounds and did it through myfitnesspal and she's been helping cook and keep me on track... and I may be underestimating calories slightly but not a wholee lot...I guess it can make a bigger difference that I thought…

Okay I understand, thanks guys I'll start measuring and weighing everything and see where that puts me in a few weeks... thanks for all the advice and suggestions! I really appreciate everyones input :)

Thanks that was nice of you :) My grandmother has a scale so I'll work on getting that ASAP and I get that weights is the best way to tone and all that but I lifted heavy weights 3x a week for 4 years in college and I hated the way my body looked so I guess I just don't want that body type anymore, if I just did light…

I was at the beginning more so then I got bored and frustrated but yeah it's kinda embarrassing to make that public, I'm not perfect at alll but the chocolate cake was a paleo single serving dessert thingy so not like real cake just cocoa powder and applesauce and stuff... But I dono still not sure what to do bc people…

Well I don't really like eating paleo and exercising so much I'm just really trying to lose that college 15 and a successful trainer told me to do paleo... I haven't been sticking to it exclusively like I'll have coffee with creamer and sometimes rice or potatoes and some other snacks that aren't paleo, I'm just trying to…

Well I don't think I look much different and unfortunately my clothes fit the same, my parents say they can tell a difference though... But I have measured since the beginning and so far nothing different... Is it possible that it takes this long to lose weight?

You think that's possible?? I would think I still would've lost something... I could try but I'm afraid to gain weight since I haven't even lost any yet :/

Okay BMR is 1436 and TDEE is 2163 I've done the body composition test quite a few times in college and said my body day was 16.5 but when they did the hand held thingy at the gym it said 20

I don't understand either even if I was underestimating some of my calories there's no way I'm just eating enough for maintenance, and there's no way I don't have weight to lose... I really don get it, someone suggested my body is used to the routine so it won't let go of anything but still...

I can't get that stuff to copy and paste and I'm not too sure the answers to BMR and total calorie burn, I did it awhile ago but can't remember, and yeah that makes sense about the weight training stuff it's just that I'm trying to not get more muscles bc I already have a lot so I thought cardio might help them go away…

I weigh about 138 now I'd like to be at 125... I played college sports and I want to reshape my body some from that ya know lean out my muscles and lose some body fat... I know I have weight to lose I think that pic is a little out of proportion, I'm in good shape but I'd love to lose some and I'm determined but yeah maybe…

Sorry I wasn't very specific at all, I'm eating 1500 calories a day, haven't gone over that for 5 weeks and I'm not eating to compensate for exercise... I run, walk, elliptical, light resistance training, cycle, I do lots of exercise probably about 2 hours a day. I've been eating fruits veggies chicken ham occasionally red…
