For someone's TDEE to be at or below 1300 they would likely be a 5 foot 0, 110 pound 65 year old female. If that's you, fine, but almost NOBODY "can't" lose weight eating 1300 calories.

Butthurt everywhere. Calm down people.

If you are 100% sure you're eating at a deficit, which a lot of people THINK they are but they're not, then weigh when ever you want. I KNOW I am eating at a deficit and I weigh basically every day. My weight comes off in chunks (I've been able to learn this by weighing every day) and if I were to weigh once a week, I…

The reason their calorie count increases is because they just burned a bunch off, that's why, nothing else. That's how MFP works. Your equation and statement at the bottom IS correct, but you don't HAVE to eat the exercise calories back like you said. You certainly CAN but please don't say they HAVE to because that's…

No no no no no. The 2417 is this persons calorie amount to lose "x" amount of weight, NOT their BMR which is what you are referring to by saying it's what he needs to function sitting on his butt all day. This person does not HAVE to eat all their exercise calories back, that is simply NOT TRUE. "It will actually help with…

Well MFP doesn't take in account your exercise with its activity level but I would say you are probably active. I've done the numbers for myself and I am almost exactly "lightly active". Here's me: Work ~15 hours a week in retail. I lift heavy stuff and walk around. When I'm at home I usually cook for myself and do some…

1. You don't HAVE to eat back exercise calories. 2. "If you do not eat back at least 50% of the calories... you will not lose weight"-- completely 100% untrue. Please don't take this persons advice. The reason your calories are like that IS because of the exercise. About that exercise though, how do you know you burned…

I'd highly recommend either weighing every day or don't even own a scale. If you weigh once a week, you set yourself up for disappointment if the results aren't what you want and you have an entire week of dwelling on not losing. And while you might not have seen a loss on the scale, it could be just water retention. If…

Well as the old and wise 31 year old man that you are, you should know that HRM are not at all accurate for weight training. So you are basically taking a random number and making it even more random by cutting it in half. I've done the exact same routine multiple times with a HRM just to test this and I get results 100s…

Exactly

I'm curious as to how you calculated calories burned for lifting weights

Yes to all of me doing that and I would never even consider adding that as exercise. Just like I posted to someone else, I was moving 50 pound bags of mulch around for an hour today and the thought of counting that as exercise never crossed my mind. Oh and don't even attempt the holier than thou approach saying "you're…

Whatever you want to call it. Don't care. I was moving and lifting 50 pound bags of mulch for about an hour today and I would find it pointless for me to consider that exercise.

IMO trying to say cleaning is exercise is just cheating yourself.

I weigh pretty much every day. I log it on MFP whenever I feel like it was a true loss and I usually stay 1 pound behind on here. I do keep a log in my phone though that has my weight for every Thursday. Thursday because that was the first day I weighed myself and started using MFP.

How did you get 50 pounds overweight if you can't eat more than 1100 calories? 3 pounds a week is only reasonable for obese people who have over 100 to lose. Even then it's difficult. You need to move to 1-1.5 lbs a week. And you need to eat more. Your body isn't getting proper nutrition with such a small calorie amount.

Why are you only eating 1100 calories? Why are you watching sugars? And why by November? Your last 50 pounds in 6 months is unlikely

I would guess you're on the high end of the "3-5 of moderate". If I were you I'd get both calorie amount for 3-5 and 5-6 and pick a number in between. Do that for 3 weeks and adjust if you have to.

That's understandable then. Good luck to you

Well I'm going to get whatever I want because I still managed to lose at my normal pace this week while still going out all the time with my family. I'm not concerned TOO much with my calories for today, I just want to input the most accurate thing I can.

Call "fat" anything else and the media and pseudoscience wouldn't try to say it's bad, thus confusing people. Fat and protein are good. They keep you full longer. Not saying carbs are bad, I love my carbs and by no means am a low carb-er but they aren't as important as fat and protein

Month 1: 16 Month 2: 15 Month 3: 16 (today is my 90th day) 351 to 304 in 90 days. Got about 100 to go.

"I have a large bone structure" "Everyone in my family is fat" Not an excuse necessarily but when people say something like "everyone is beautiful"- says the 5'5 320 pound woman

I have no clue what you're rambling about but what about Buddhism? They don't believe in a higher power or a god. It's not a religion.

Usually everyday because why not. Fluctuations don't bother me because I know I'm eating at a deficit.

I did not call you a liar. I said you lied. Please read things twice before responding. If you lie (you did) and someone says you lied, that's not an attack, that's called telling the truth. So posting some TOS quote isn't going to scare me.

You should have stopped after "eat in a deficit" Absolutely NO training is required to lose fat. Zero. Why do you feel the need to lie to people? I don't get it. Yes working out is a wonderful idea but to say you NEED to to burn fat is just a flat out lie.

Nobody on here can tell you how your body will react. But yes, drinking more water could probably help if you think it might be a problem

At your starting weight, you're fine. Those guidelines are more for people who don't have a lot to lose. My 45 pounds have come off in 85 days. That's 3.7 pounds per week. I started at 351 and am at 306 now. I've stuck to the same amount of calories the whole time, 2200, and will continue to do so unless I NEED to change.
