This I find funny..typical of the general public actually...let us pit two women against each other and see who wins...smh. and this one I didn't see a judgement here...nor an assumption. The quote included "IF"...not when. not exactly sure why all the uproar...if JM had said Grande or Dion needed to eat a burger a lot of…

Congrats but I suspect it was mostly water weight as losing 9lbs of actual fat is not healthy nor reasonable if you ate any food at all... Mirena like all birth control says that the side effects can and do include weight gain, water retention and increased appetite...*shrughs* Anyone who is choosing a medical process such…
-
it actually says in the side affects "may cause weight gain" and most doctors tell you this... But if it is real weight gain and not just water retention then it's because you are eating too much not because you are using BC....

Me too... I have been on both sides of the spectrum..obese and now thin. I get more grief now that I am thin... Told I can't eat this because I exercise or am thin Ridiculed in the gym because I can't lift as much as others or choose to treadmill. Can't find a lot of clothing to fit me well as the sizes I require are in…

So if you are maintaining on 1750 through the week, and 2k on weekends that pretty much tells you what your TDEE is...about 1850... so the question back is what do you need help with?

I have never heard protein called "satiating"...I have heard fat called that but not protein. Protein due to it's make up takes longer to digest than carbs. Helps keep you feeling fuller longer.

I get 1638 on another 1640 and last one I did was and 1653...I suspect that 1500 is a bit low.
-
I now have all my data sync'd over. Not sure if it was because of the disconnect/reconnect I did....but whatever the reason it's all good now. ETA: I have my exercise over here...not my food over there for last week. I have yesterday's food...but not last weeks...only what was logged monday (which for me means most of my…
-
if this is the first time in your life that you have ever done this sort of activity and it won't happen again for a long time...sure log it... Otherwise it's part of living, that living that got you to where you are apparently trying to lose weight....so no.

There is no way to really measure Body Fat % and it be accurate. Even Dexa or BodPod have limitations based on hydration, women's cycles etc. Trending lines on home owned scales???? no I don't think so. Even if you do it all exactly the same there are too many variables that come into play such as what you ate yesterday,…

calorie deficit aka diet for weight loss exercise for health and fitness. You can exercise and Lose weight but you are still in a deficit (diet). You can exercise and not lose weight because you are not in a deficit You can exercise and gain weight (a no not muscle) because you are in a surplus. If you can't exercise due…

not sure how my sentence could be negative...just a statement of fact. you have 1 post, the OP has 1 post..you didn't do well on it. oh well I am off I have things to do.
-
I find it very interesting that those that have issues with Mirena only ever have 1 post. To those folks who have issues with Mirena. read the insert, consult others, talk to your doctors. All the side effects are listed and are there for a reason. INcreased appetite leads to weight gain unless you are aware of it. Mirena…

That's how you are logging...but how are you measuring? cups/spoons? food scale? guessing?
-
I find as long as I don't workout the same muscle group 2 days in a row it's all good. So if you are benching on monday make sure you aren't doing upper on Tuesday...do lower. Keep in mind I find that if I am sore (like I am today) from Deads on Tuesday....and it's squat day today...it helps with my soreness.
-
I am familiar with the NWCR as I have paperwork to submit to become a member...just need to get before and after Pics done. The NWCR mentions a lot of things that people who maintain weight loss do vs those who don't maintain. For example most people in the registry eat breakfast....does that means it's critical...no but…
-
that is your interpretation not mine. If that is what she meant then perhaps that is what should have been typed out. Within the confines of forums it is very important to say exactly what you mean and not leave anything open to interpretation. I stand by my comment that her comment even if it means limited it isn't…

and there is nothing unhealthy about fruit, chicken and broccoli either...not sure where you get that it isn't "especially healthy" why do they need more? I eat the same 2 breakfast everyday and eat a lot of chicken...I never get tired of chicken... and why would you regress??? even if you change chicken for fish or beef…
-
Yes change it to 1/2lb a week and activity level is based on non exercise activity so if you sit at a desk you are sedentary. The bike ride commute, if that was being done before you started losing weight that is part of your daily life I wouldn't log it. I only ever logged movement done as purposeful exercise that I…
-
that makes no sense at all. Science indicates that if you lose on 2k calories you will lose more on 1800.
-
nope but then again I don't say no I can't becasue I don't have enough calories....doesn't seem to be a point to that statement. I usually just say no thanks...if asked why I tell them why...not hungry, don't feel like it, doesn't look good etc. I say no because I don't want it not because I can't eat it and using that…

this thread is quite old but I know a few things have changed. Jawbone is out of business for wearables Fitbit has changed how it counts steps. It is no longer based on the swing of an arm it is based on concussion as your foot hits the ground. This is how others do it as well so any false steps will be along the same…

The fact you claim you got your regular period within days of getting the implant removed is highly suspect and the fact you have 1 post on this community another doubtful event...and first visit was March 12....
-
and I didn't say you did...I elaborated on something you missed because you didn't read hte thread. I said...no you don't have to be "exact" most of the time but if you are stalled or finding it hard start tracking more diligently and htat includes fruits and veggies.
-
except 5 servings of fruit can be up to 500 calories and that can and often does wipe out a deficit. Same with veggies... I am not saying that it has to be so strict that you are stressing over a carrot stick or even 4 or 5 but they do have calories and they need counted especially if you are stalled...or finding it…

:o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o What?

be patient. If you ahven't lost weight then there are a couple of reasons... most probable...not in a deficit. Solve this by logging accurately using a food scale and as consistently as possible. This site allows you to create recipes and meals etc. could also be the fact you are now exercising and new exercise can cause…
