If it's a job you do regularly though it should still be accounted for in your activity level

What are your stats? Do you mind opening up your diary?

Then you need to tighten up your logging. Do you use a food scale and weigh everything on it?

How long have you been seeing higher numbers? If it’s truly a problem you can download a weight trending app that will let you view the overall trend, or you can weigh in less often. Just make sure your logging is as accurate as possible...if it’s been more than a couple weeks, you may want to take a look at your diary to…

A heart rate monitor estimates how much you’re burning based on your heart rate. But it’s not a good judge of that for most activities. You should only wear it for steady state cardio, never all day or for mowing the grass/interval training/strength training/etc. To be safe, deducting your BMR would be a good idea, because…

Personally I would change it back to a pound a week. In order to lose 1.5 pounds a week your goal would be 1100 calories, but 1200 is what's given to you as that's the minimum intake. That said if you aren't losing you're probably eating even more than that. How are you measuring your calorie intake?

Have you spoken with your doctor about the weight gain? That can't be all fat...you would have needed to overeat by 3500 calories every day for that to happen.

Where did you get your calorie goal from? If it's from MFP, you're expected to eat back at least a portion of your exercise calories. Your plan will work if you're on top of your logging. I would personally change a few things (more protein, a structured lifting program and possibly a third day with that).

The streak actually isn't connected to your diary. It's based on logging into the website or app each day before midnight. You can ask for it to be reset if you'd like.

1850 is fine for her stats, especially if she chose .5 kg a week. And your goal should be 1200 PLUS exercise calories.

50% carbs/30% fat/20% protein Calorie deficit for weight loss. Macros are generally a personal preference.

Creating a calorie deficit is enough to lose weight. If you were counting calories and not losing, then there was some form of miscalculation in there. Even if 100% if your calories came from sugar you would still lose in a deficit.

The fact of the matter is if you aren't losing, you're eating more than you think. Weighing your food on a scale doesn't take up much more time than using cups or spoons. Also cutting gluten is unnecessary unless you've been diagnosed with celiac or another gluten intolerance...just fit the foods you enjoy into your…

No, because your activity level already assumes a certain number of steps per day. Log any purposeful walking/running you do for exercise and set your activity level appropriately to account for the rest.

I don't think stones allows fractions of pounds for some reason. If it's important to you, you can switch to pounds and put in 142.2.

You are underweight according to BMI

Go to settings and you can set up a fifth and sixth meal slot for your snacks

Carbs minus fiber (and sugar alcohol but that isn’t tracked on here). Many who do low carb/keto track net carbs to make sure they are within their limit.

It's literally just meant to calculate the calories/nutrients. Presumably you still have the recipe in front of you to follow?

If your doctor is okay with you eating less since you've had WLS you're fine. The warning is there for those who are using the program to fuel disordered eating patterns. Besides, the 5 week prediction is usually inaccurate.

How long did it take you to gain those 150 pounds? You can't expect it to all come off at once.

Cooking spray I would be careful with. It says 0 calories per serving, but a serving is usually about a 1/4 of a second spray. If you do a few seconds worth that can add up.

When you're at a higher weight it isn't as serious an issue. Go for it and if you start feeling setbacks, drop your rate of loss to 1.5 pounds per week.

Spices and diet soda. Everything else goes in.

If he wants it he’ll start. Until then, you can’t do much else.

A week is not a plateau. You lost a ton of water that first week, and some of it is likely coming back and masking any loss you may have had. Keep to what you’re doing and give yourself at least a few more weeks before changing anything.

Obese is a BMI of 30 or more. 25.1 is literally ounces from a normal weight.

You may want to rethink not exercising, otherwise you'll pretty much be gaining just fat. Some form of strength or resistance training will help you out. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10332083/which-lifting-program-is-the-best-for-you

BMI works for a general population. There will always be outliers, but the majority of people will be fine within a healthy range.

All you have to do is eat more than you burn. Avoid whatever foods trigger you.
