If that picture represents the current you, you look to be closer to 40%

Where did you get that number? Seems very high

Looks like you already lost some letters in the word weightloss!. Its not weight, but its a start! (If I get warned for this I will be pissed, I am clearly joking) On a serious note, can we have some more information about you so we can help better? Height, weight, how much you want to lose, etc Thanks

There is no such thing as clean eating. All food is clean.

If its on Dr. Oz, its usually monetarily motivated.

Starvation mode while eating 1200 calories? You have some research to do!

All the inspiration you need is right here: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/user/vismal/status

Much of this is really bad advice.

I love Ice Cream Fitness :D

Its difficult to pinpoint the reason without seeing your diary or how much you actually consume and exercise. I would advise weighing all of your food, etc. But if you gained 8 lbs in one week (28,000 calories over maintenance) then it is more than likely water retention/cortisol. Wait another week and see what happens

Muscle and fat weigh the same and you aren't gaining muscle. You could be having higher cortisone levels or it could be close to your time of the month. Or more likely, those cheat suppers are killing you.

Avoid reading and following advice like this.

She does not need to eat more because she is not in a deficit. She isn't eating less than 1000 calories a day and it is painfully obvious. This thread is full of absolutely horrendous information. 7 more lbs to lose and I graduate from this forum. Its pretty much the slums of MFP

No please stop spewing terrible information

You're fine for posting it here. I only said something because I know there are a lot of people who look at the Success Stories forum for motivation including myself. If I hadn't been on right this second, I would have missed your story!

Woo hoo. Mind posting this in the success stories forum though? I enjoy going through them and this one may not get as much attention.

I'm screwed!

psulemon keeps messaging me to be nice (an MFP mod) But when I read posts like this, how is it possible?

Also, burning 1100 calories seems very high. How do you track your calories burned?

I highly doubt you are building muscle unless you are trying to bulk by accident. If you are in a deficit you will barely be gaining any muscle, especially if you are a female. Unfortunately, you aren't losing weight because you are not in a calorie deficit. Also you should be eating much more than 1200 calories. Calculate…

The quality of food has NOTHING to do with losing weight. You can lose weight on McDonalds as long as you hit your caloric goal.

I was told by a mod to try and be nicer. Could you ever make a post that doesn't include the same T-nation article? Its borderline advertising and AT has nothing to do with what the OP is talking about.

Happens to the best of us! I was however getting worried for a second.

That is not what I am saying.. Read my posts. I can't do this forum anymore lol Bulking Adaptive Thermogenesis Coming to theaters near you

Now that I am reading the article for a second time today and seeing how it is supporting everything I am saying, I think you quoted the wrong person.

There is plenty of science introduced on adaptive thermogenesis in this forum on a daily basis. The most recent being from Vismus or however you spell his name. Unless you quoted the wrong person of course...

Now spreading to the gaining weight forum: Guys I am eating 1000 calorie a day surplus and I will not gain weight. Am I in Stuffed mode? Adaptive thermogenesis must be it!

Oh sweet baby Jesus. I need to leave this forum.

I have never heard of anyone hitting AT on a 1200 calorie diet. pls people....
