Thank you everyone for your input. I know two weeks is not enough, but technically I have been working on this since Jan.1st. I joined the Biggest Loser at work and are constantly hearing of people's weight loss...3,6,9,15 lbs. and they are just watching what they eat(and not even that close)....not even exercising at all.…

Yes, I have been using it and also measuring cups.

My sodium is higher, I'm working on that. I know water retention could be a factor....just hard to believe it can be that much of a factor. I'm taking 15 different suppliments and vitamins a day from Herbalife. My calorie in are spot on....calories out I'm relying on the BM Fit band. I really do believe it's pretty…

Yeah, looked up PCOS and don't have that. None of the symptoms fit....Good, but darn. Even follow Harris formula and should be at 2500 cal a day for my activity. I'm lost

I'm 36 years old and 5'-10", large framed woman. (german). :) According to the HB factor I have a BMR of 1815. I will even go with lightly active(I am exercising)... that would get me to 2496 per day. Even at sedentary its 2178...so I'm still at least 500 below.

I have been adding protein to an herbalife shake in the morning(since 10th of January). That's the only way to get my protein up to the normal range of 20% or so. Taking tons of vitamins and herbalife pills. 50% is what carbs should be according to USDA....besides if I go too low I'm sooooo lathargic I don't want to do…

I did take measurements on Jan.15, 21, 28, Feb 4th and today...i have not lost an inch anywhere(hips, waist, chest)...gained 1.5 inches in my thigh muscles, 1" in my calves and 1.5" in my biceps(arms). I have been increasing weights each week...started out at 30, 35,40,45, and now 50. Tending to a tendonitis problem in my…

If you enjoy killing yourself...Irysh...my friend is doing something like this (P90X). YES, she is seeing results, but she HATES doing it, loves the results, but hates it. I would rather see you change your routine a bit, (maybe lifting some weights) but ENJOY your exercise. I know I have to enjoy my exercise or I would…

I had heard that too, but thanks for confirming.

I have a problem with "white" carbs. nothing to do with starvation mode, this is probably the worst spread myth on MFP caused by lots of misguided people reading and regurgitating the same bullsh.it. Just found this for you Irysh: Don't Cut Out Too Many Calories…

To Phildawson75: you can't eat only eat crap food below your calories and lose weight?? So I can eat only hershey bars for the rest of my life below my calorie count and still lose weight? I don't think so and you will never convince me of that.

I know that 1lb of muscle is smaller than 1 lb of fat, because it's denser. Therefore, exercising does help you to not lose muscle, but you can definately convert fat weight into muscle weight. I did my first measurements only two weeks ago. I have not lost any in my waist, lower belly or hips, but my thighs have gained…

I feel like I am in the same boat!! It's not just you...at least you have lost something! I started Jan.1 as well. I went first two weeks and my calorie intake is around 1600 a day (1 pound per week). In looking back I was going a little above that and so chalk those two weeks to trial and error. I have worked out everyday…
