BIA scales are a joke. The error in their readouts is insanely inaccurate and can fluctuate due to way too many variables. You're simply eating too much. Whether that means your calorie goal in general is too high or that you aren't accurately tracking what you are eating and are unintentionally overeating is what you need…

Strong justification.

This. Squats never ruined anything and doing less of them is never the answer.

I'm sorry you weren't able to find the answer you were looking for here in spite of all the sound advice you were given. Best of luck to you and I hope you are able to find something that works for you and your goals.

My replies have addressed your questions about finding the right calorie goal and exercise calories numerous times. Go back and reread them. And logging food by fractions of sandwiches, salads, etc is is definitely the source of your logging inaccuracy.

Aside from any potential medical conditions, the answer is simple, you both aren't in a calorie deficit, whether it be due to inaccurate logging or just picking out an inappropriate calorie goal to begin with.

Contrary to most of the garbage advice given above, meal frequency and timing are irrelevent for weight loss. Find an eating schedule that allows you to stay in a calorie deficit. And to the poster who is spouting off with all the broscience BS, do the OP and the rest of us a favor and stop posting "plateau breaking…

Your feeling is correct. A few days is nothing in the weight loss world. It can take a week or two to really see the weight loss trend. Here is a good read though since you're just starting out: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants It has some much more…

Yes, as a starting point at least. Try eating a total of 1505 calories, without eating back any that you may log from exercise for two weeks and see what happens. If you feel either unusually tired or the scale is dropping quickly, like more than 1lb/week, then adjust up. You can either adjust according to what the scale…

What is your eating schedule like? Is there a way you can move around when you eat your meals so that it allows you to prep more food at home? I also like to do a lot of food prep on the weekends or whenever I have a decent chunk of spare time, which sometimes is rare. I will cut and divvy up my meat and veggies for a lot…

Depending on what you're doing for exercise and how you are logging it, your burned calories logged can be wildly inaccurate without even really half-assing anything. The issue is simple. If you were in a deficit, you would be losing. It takes a while for a drastic deficit to lead to an actual stall because of the effects…

The definition of "sedentary" is a tricky one. Depending on what you are doing for exercise, sedentary might be enough to account for your exercise and the calories that you burn during normal daily activities. It's best to start on the low end of what you think you are at and then you can adjust up or down from there…

This. And without knowing how your body was effected by your eating disorder, the TDEE calculators might not be a great estimate. However, it's all an estimate. Start with the calculators and then see how your body reacts, factoring in not only what the scale is doing but also your energy levels. Adjust from there. You…

It's pretty normal from a sense that a lot of women do it. Not sure if it's really normal in the sense that it's a necessary physical response for a woman starting her menstrual cycle. I tend to be a little more emotional/short tempered and because I'm more of an emotional eater, I tend to snack a little more than normal.…

Your TDEE should account for all your activity, essentially what you burn above your BMR whether it be just your day to day tasks or specific exercise. After you find your appropriate TDEE you then need to subtract out calories to find your calorie goal to lose weight. A lot of people start with 20% but if you don't have a…

That isn't how TDEE works. Go here, read all of it, follow it for at least 4 weeks, preferably 6-8 weeks and see how things go: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

Even if sodium was high, it won't be masking a weightloss trend over 6 weeks. I see you mentioned logging your exercise calories, are you eating those back? With TDEE you shouldn't be. Just checking because I know between how the MFP way works and how TDEE works, it can be very confusing/misleading on what to do with…

Macros and calories go hand in hand. If she is staying in an overall deficit and hitting her macros, she should lose weight. Macro tracking is just a more detailed version of calorie tracking to provide for more specific dietary needs usually focused around targeting fat loss and training/recovery.

Just because the nutrition information is readily available for a lot of food at restaurants does not mean that the portions are even close to the ones that they used for the reported nutritional data. In a lot of cases it's probably close and for a person who is only eating out occasionally it probably isn't a big deal.…

Lose slow and lift weights, but with only about 30lbs to lose and being relatively young, you probably won't have too much of an issue.

I don't know about everyone else, but fat tall boys always make me feel bloated and hungover. Oh, wrong kind of tall boy. My bad. To the OP, lift weights now, not later.

She and also Human Ken have had excessive amounts of plastic surgery to achieve Barbie-like dimensions.

It's the BEST!

I love when articles are taken horribly out of context. I'll be over here losing weight on much more than 1200 calories.

Title Nine, Athleta, Enell, Shock Absorber

Sweet fancy Moses might be my new favorite expression. Congrats on the progress! Strut your stuff in that dress!

You and your trainer both sound very misinformed.

Human noodz or animal noodz?

Establish normalcy and move on. However, you say this happens once a month, sounds like it could be part of an overall restrict and binge cycle and it could be linked to a drastic calorie deficit.

I would find another cardiologist.
