Do you use a fitbit? I'm guessing it's changing your TDEE on here since it thinks you're not burning as many calories daily as MFP is estimating. If not, I have no idea.

I've lost 77 lbs over the last 15 months. About 1lb a week. I haven't had any problems with excess skin yet.

Yes, if you eat food. Log it.

I think that is about a healthy weight for your height and age (don't know if you're a man or woman but that won't make a huge difference.) If you don't think you look good, you could try looking into strength training / resistance training. Lifting weights would over time build up some muscle and "tone" your body as long…

Typically, I do a lot of cardio so I'm not sure if this applies to you. But I tend to eat cereal bars to fuel my workouts. I try to find the ones with less sugar in but it doesn't matter too much since you'll be using the energy anyway. As for protein powders, MyProtein is a pretty good brand. The summer fruits flavour is…

Not a single time.

TL;DR. Sugar isn't bad. Eating too much sugar is.

I gained 4lbs but I didn't gain any inches over my body so it's probably water. I've already lost 2 of those lbs so I'm guessing the other 2 will drop off pretty quickly.

I work nights so anything I eat on my break at work is technically on the next day but I log my foods for the previous day based on my sleep cycle. I have a cutoff point of 8am where if I eat anything after then, it'll get logged into the next day.

Hot cross buns and a yoghurt.

Ignore and do nothing

Nah. I don't bother taking my clothes off.

I've pretty much been overweight since I was a little kid. So anything over the last 15 years I guess to get to where I am now.

I started a quite active job last year in April which increased my activity level by quite a lot. I also started doing cardio + weight training at the gym in August about 2-3 times a week. I still go to the gym now. In all the time since I changed my activity levels, I haven't really changed what I was eating. I did lose…

I will finish a 10k run in under an hour :)

I would just log water as water intake. Any other drinks I just log as separate things.

Holding on to the treadmill kinda defeats the objective of walking with an incline. I normally just walk on an incline as a warm up. The ones at my gym go up to 15% which is like 13.5 degrees. I would recommend setting the treadmill to a high incline and slowly upping the speed every 1-2 mins until you feel like you're a…

Running, running and more running.

I weigh 107kg and run 5k a like 2-3 times a week on a treadmill. Age might be a factor here since I'm 22 but I think running is possible for pretty much everyone as long as you work your way up to it. Now, I run at a steady 10km/hr pace for 29 mins and have a quick 1 minute burst at the end running at 10mph (16km/hr). When…

Why not spend time with family and just add the food the next day?

I'm not very good at explaining it but your muscles store ready-to-use energy in the form of aqueous glycogen in them (hence the water). When you're in a deficit, your muscles will use up all this ready to go energy before diving into your fat stores for more. If you're always in a deficit, they don't have the chance to…

I haven't had a disorder so I wouldn't know how it feels to not physically be able to give up the foods that would put weight on. I guess see someone who will be able to help you with the mentality of it. Then, slowly incorporate new foods or replacements that are lower calories. Add in more exercise and you'll be able to…

I don't see why you wouldn't log it.

I'm guessing it will all be water weight or at least a good 5.5lbs of that. A good way to keep track of fat loss is to measure yourself. As for the weight loss, don't worry. The water weight comes back on when you start eating at maintenance again.

I never really plan my day. I just use the diary as a log for what I eat. Not really that bothered when I go over goal either.

First of all, how many calories is your goal for a typical day with no training? Divide it by 3. There you go, the number of calories you should eat per meal if you were to eat 3 a day.

My diary is full of junk. But since I'm so active, The calories (sometimes not the macros) are under my goals for the majority of the time.

Odds are you won't be building any muscle if you're in a deficit. You might be inaccurately logging. You might not be eating enough to fuel your workouts and your body is trying to retain water. I'm not a dietitian or physician so I can't really pinpoint any reason exactly why you aren't losing after 3 weeks. I guess the…
