If you are losing weight at a healthy rate, using a scale doesn't really matter. Thing is, if you want to lose weight, and you are failing at it, then you require a food scale and extremely accurate logging. I don't think people are scared, it's just dieting is a side project to most people, not a full time job. For most…

Nobody is going to comment until it's so blatantly obvious that it would be impossible not to notice. Weight is such a touchy subject that nobody wants to screw up on a comment like that. Also, if I'm reading your ticker right, you have 150 lbs to lose still? The more fat you have to lose the more you need to lose for it…

Just call your local witchdoctor and you can get a shrunken head.

If I was in your shoes I would stop eating back exercise calories all together then reassess in 3 weeks. You've had surgery so it's hard to give advice. You should ask your dietician if she thinks your calorie counting is inaccurate. As for set points, I say they definitely exist. I was one weight for years than suddenly I…

OP, cut your daily calories by 100-200. Weigh yourself weekly and continue for 3-4 weeks. If you did not lose an average of 1-2 lbs per week, than cut another 100. Continue doing this until you are losing 1-2 lbs per week on average. Even if this means logging what appears to be an unhealthy number of calories per day.…

Of course because that makes a ton of sense. Have you lost any weight? How long has it been since you last saw a scale loss? Are you losing weight but body fat percent isn't changing? How are you measuring your body fat? I think either your counting is bad or this is a water retention issue. If it's the former, than…

Ignore her comments and try not to let them affect you. Get thinner, fitter, and sexier than her. Steal her boyfriend. Make her cry. You win. Wait, you want to keep her as a friend? Might not want to listen to me then.

YES! You can eat ANYTHING you want and lose weight as long as you stay under your calorie goal. I always make sure I have enough calories left by the end of the day to have some kind of snack, whether that be chocolate, popcorn, or ice cream. Log all your food accurately, no matter what it is. Log before you eat. If you…

Tomorrow will be 24 lbs in 2 months. The easy half will be done.

Or you can just learn the proper way to use measuring cups. Apparently lots of people are clueless. (That said, you should still weigh for best accuracy.)

Idk, I throw away my yolks. Why? Because in order to hit my protein macro I was going 35-40% in fat everyday. I ditched the yolks and just had whites and problem solved. Now I'm consistently higher in protein and only 20-25% fats. For ME, it was the simplest solution to my macro problem. As for counting calories, it…

If you read through the whole thread then you probably know your answer now, just by reading what works for different people. Likeothers said, do whatever works for YOU. If eating that way keeps you in your calorie goal, then that's the best way for you. If you find this causes you to binge or eat over goal, then adjust to…

There is no such thing as too much protein, as long as you are within your calorie goal.

About a year ago, I quit drinking soda for a month. I didn't have any weightloss and went back to drinking them again. At the time, I didn't understand how reducing my calories by nearly 1000 per day had no affect. Looking back, I now know quitting sodas wasn't enough to put me in a deficit. I simply had achieved…

This is a great topic! Another thing to point out, when adding Recipes, MFP will automatically match ingredients. This works out funny sometimes. For example, last night I had chili. MFP said the SEASONING PACKET contained 1000 cal. I had to manually editthe ingredient with a correct one, 120 calories. Another recipe I…
