This is happening to me as well. I see posts regarding this problem dating back for YEARS! Always some explanation is given that we did this or changed that and it is simply not the case. I do not log exercise or weigh ins, yet every day or so my macro ratios change back to default. Besides being blamed on us entering…

Well I'd like to blame that but in reality I stopped eating healthy and starting eating crap food again and way too much of it at that. I also had a bit of a soda addiction (which I've pretty much kicked) and was drinking waaaay too much everyday. Prob half the cals I should've been taking in daily were coming from soda on…

Who's starving themselves? I eat a lot of fruits and veggies which are low calorie and fill me up. Besides that, even being a larger guy I've never really had a huge appetite. So if I make healthy food choices and I'm full at 1700 cals I'm not going to eat something just to have a higher daily cal intake. Your metabolism…

Is that 40 carb / 40 pro / 20 fat I'm assuming? I did plan on raising my calories when I start lifting. I was just hoping to cut some fat before I started. Just makes the exercising a bit easier to stick with, for me at least, if I've already dropped some weight. Guess I'll go ahead and get started now.

Where are you getting this? Myfitnesspal's own calculator shows I should be eating about 2600 cals per day to MAINTAIN weight. At 1900 cals per day it projects that I will lose about 1.5 lbs per week. Which is even in your acceptable limit. I do aim for 1900 now (down from 2000 as of yesterday). But I'm eating a lot more…

I do have one and use it religiously, my wife thinks I'm a little nuts with how much I weigh and measure things. (along with tracking with the myfitnesspal app). :)

I do plan on starting to increase working out (cardio as well as lifting) but I was hoping to cut about 15-20 lbs first by dieting and then begin working out. I know if I start now it would help accelerate things. I'm just unsure why I'm getting lesser results than I was before when I'm basically doing the same things I…

1-2 lbs is acceptable but 2.5-3 is too high? That makes no sense. I'm 6 foot 5 inches at my height and weight an extra 0.5-1 lb a week is not a "high expectation" 1-2 lbs a week is an accepted guideline for sure but not everyone is the same height and weight. By your logic 2000 cals a day is the recommended American…

I'm not sure what you mean with "body height", I'm 6 foot 5 inches. If anything at my height and weight I'd expect a more than average weight loss. 5 lbs for me is like 2 for most :) I don't mind going with the slower loss I'm just wondering why the exact diet a year ago produced more weight loss. I do plan on starting to…

Thanks Cwolfman for your response. I wasn't on any low-carb or odd-ball diets. I just lowered my caloric intake and cut out all junk foods, sodas, etc. I guess I shouldn't have said "quick weight" what I meant was I lost about 35 pounds (I doubt that was all water) in about 2 months. Or about 5 lbs per week. I was eating…

By "bump" do you mean th blank post of mine? That was an accident. If you see it's the same day.

You know I was just thinking this guy must sit around waiting for someone to post something that isn't "right" in his views just so he can blast them. There's a difference between trying to make sure someone is receiving correct information and being the fitness equivalent to the Comic Book Guy on the Simpsons. " I have no…
