Weigh the food as you would eat it - if you aren't eating the skin don't weigh it. What do you mean you scale isn't sensitive enough? Does it not measure in grams AND ounces? If not, you sould invest in a new scale, they are reasonably priced. I got mine at Homegoods for $15

Congratulations on your success so far!! You already know you are doing the right thing so keep it up :) I think it might help you if you switch up your workout routine if you've been on the same schedule for a long while since your body catches on to what you are doing, as you said, you can tell you are in better shape.…

You don't have to go on a diet cold turkey! Drop your calories a little bit at a time, you assume you were eating 2000 kcals a day before - cut it to 1600 for 2 weeks and see if you lose weight, if not cut another 100 kcals to 1500, wait for your body to adjust again (1-2 weeks) and reassess - if losing stick with that if…

Keep in mind that walking your dog for 30 minutes probably burns 150 calories if you are doing a quick pace - you can add some of those calories back in to you calories allotment for the day and the more you move the more you get :)

Are you in a rush? or just looking to be healthier? baby steps! I am 5'5" and weighted 170 when I started. I was @ 1800 calories per day not eating back any exercise calories and was losing weight. I got down to 140 but gained 10 back when I slacked off. My exercise was 2 days 30 minutes cardio 2/3 days weight lifting for…

just starting out and starving = you are lowering your calorie allotment too much. Start with smaller deficits and work your way down. If you start at crazy low calorie allowances you won't be able to lower your intake later when you are smaller and require less calories to fuel yourself. shoot for a 1 pound per week loss…

If you need to SEE results then you need to measure your body as well as weight, most of the time you don't see drastic differences until you lose 10+ pounds. Keep on doing what your are doing. Don't cut your calories until you HAVE to, when weight loss slows or stops.

A cookie, a doughnut, a piece of chocolate (not the entire King size...) per day is NOT a binge. Work the calories for a treat in to your day. OR stay away for them. Drink flavored water or chew gum - constantly - keep something in your mouth so you don't put the other stuff in it. Stay away from where they stash the…

Not crunches crunches crunches - please. Deadlift, overhead press, squat and bench press! You'll work your entire body AND your core http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/core-strength-your-ultimate-guide-to-core-training.html But do take care of the eating plan immediately

new workout routines can also hide weight loss because of water retention with muscle repair. It'll come, just keep doing the right thing. Patience is the key to success!

Do body weight training for now - you don't need a gym, especially if you are uncomfortable there. Google convict training or body weight training. There are some really good workouts that will get you started until you feel good about going to the gym again. Keep in mind too - it does take a lot of time and effort to see…

If you've been eating at 1200 cals for a while don't just up to 2000 cals right away, go up 200 at a time every 2 weeks. That way you don't see a 5# gain (which is ok) and get scared. What are you eating and how much right now, a typical day? Don't wait to start weight training, you should have been doing it all along just…

Please do not obsess - You look pretty fit in your photos, maybe you should not concentrate so much on loosing weight, but more on gaining muscle. For that you'd need to eat a bit more and start either body weight exercises or progressively start lifting weights (as heavy as you can). As a young male (21 y.o.) you should…

If you want to know how many calories you should be eating you need to give more info - age, weight, activity level

Sorry for your tough times. You are right, you need to focus on all the positives that you have going on and work from there. If you are binging daily and cannot stop yourself that is a disorder (or can become one) and you need to talk to your doctor. You have anxiety and that needs help. Take small steps to make positive…

roasted tossed in buffalo sauce is good too

How about using EVOO in a mister - much less oil used same great taste. I loved roasted cauliflower. I use it as replacement food too - 50/50 cauli/rice with my stirfry for example

I agree, more info is needed. How long has it been going on? Did it just start when you changed your eating routine? What else are you eating? Exercising? What besides veggies are you eating, what kind of veggies? some are very gassy, which can cause bloating.

scrambled eggs (splash of water instead of milk to thin them down a bit) with cut up pre-cooked turkey sausage onions and pepper mixed in. fry the sausage and veggies together to soften the veggies a bit then add eggs and cook on medium until done. I add a little shredded cheese, if your macros can support it

I had a torn ACL - you can walk as much as you want to get exercise with a torn ACL, biking, swimming and elliptical are also great exercises for this as well

build a nighttime snack in to your meal plans - cut 50 cals from 2 other meals and use that for a late night snack

Keep in mind too, that as you lose weight you need to decrease your calorie intake periodically to continue to lose weight until you get to your goal weight. So, to start with more calories and work down to 1200 is best. I'd start with the most calories you can (as long as you are losing weight) - remember, there is no…

Absolutely not the right amount of calories - but need more info - how old are you? use this calculator to figure out your calorie needs: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/ - don't wait to start exercising - walk 15 minutes a day - then build that up to 30 minutes over time.

Great work!! Keep up with that C25K - and add some body weight exercises, go to pineterest.com and look up tabata or body weight workouts - there are some great workouts set up - pick some that you think would be challenging and fun :) Keep up the GREAT work!!

You'll need to condition your lungs - http://www.runnersworld.com/running-tips/lung-power?page=single

How long does it take you to go those 10 miles? Are you huffing and puffing or just moving along? How tall are you and what is your current weight and age? Calorie burn is different for everyone MFP doles out way too many exercise calories so you can't trust that.

Sweet Potato Enchilada - https://www.pinterest.com/pin/257479303672553690/ (see pinterest) Baked - toss in microwave for 5 minutes (small size spud) Mashed - with a bit of butter Roasted - w/ evoo, garlic, salt, pepper (I add other veggies with this too, whatever I have on hand)

next time, buy kernels and pop them in a brown bag - so much cheaper and healthier too
