Depends.... How much is a buck or two worth to you? and how much do you mind throwing up? I'd say if it smells ok, you have a 50/50 shot of getting sick. May the odds be ever in your favor.

Sometimes the perfect log is on purpose though! I will weigh out precisely 70g of ice cream because thats the serving (half cup just to continue that point too), or pull of the tiniest amount of deli meat from my sammich to make it exactly 4oz or exactly 30g of ranch dressing (I've used a spoon to take some out) or…

I use Libra and it tracks weight trend, and smooths out daily fluctuations for me. +/-2, start eating more mindfully. Add or subtract a snack, adjust one of my meals to slightly lower/higher cals, add or subtract a walk etc. +/-5, start logging everything again.

Crockpot, leftovers, sandwiches, protein shake and fruit, can of soup with extra protein and veg.... Every couple of weeks I'll make 20-30lbs of food. Chicken breast, ham/steak/or pork loin, and veggies. Season and cook until nearly done, chop, and place in 3-4oz (and a few 8oz for dinner) baggies. I can grab a veg and a…

I notice that neither the OP nor Alatariel75 actually said if it tasted good or not.... Seems like it could go either way

Lol. Up half a pound from 3/16 myself...but I added a lot of new training. I'm expecting it to be at least another week before I see the needle move.

Everyone is different as you said. Some people find that cardio makes them hungry, but it kills my appetite. Maybe you could try switching some/all of your cardio over to weightlifting? Lifting, Stronglifts 5x5 specifically, makes me HUNGRY, and I'm not alone in that. It also has the side benefit of helping you gain muscle…
-
Added to the above... I would strongly suggest measuring yourself and taking pictures. Sometimes, particularly if it is exercise related water, you will be losing inches even when the scale is being a lying B****. Gives you more positive metrics to follow. Assuming that you have not done measurements before now. How are…

I purposely eat lower during the week so that I can have a 2500-3000 calorie day (or 2). I always have during both loss and maintenance. Maybe it would help to know that yes, you CAN have a huge serving of X on Friday. Easier to put it off (IMO) than to say no. I did this even when I wasn't working out as much as I do now.…
-
and you've lost 6lbs in a month? You could try adding 250 calories a day (or start with 100 maybe) which would slow your loss to 1lb/week. I lost 35lbs at that pace and would not have wanted to go faster. Is your new diet low/no carb or fat? Do you take vitamin D? This is the time of year that people have seasonal…

Every day in the morning nekid after the restroom... I use the app Libra that does a "weight trend". Takes the stress/confusion out of regular fluctuations and lets me know the "real" progress I'm making.

Doing your laundry must be very entertaining.... Goddamn it not again!!!
-
Did he say what was "messed up" or how to fix it? You can't just NOT use your core.... That doesn't seem very medically sound. Are you able to get a second opinion? Maybe someone who can/will refer you to a physical therapist?
-
How easy it is once you accept that it'll be slow and a little unsteady. How much I love fitness and food. Just how MUCH I can eat and lose weight when I'm training heavily...how sexy I feel when I lift and fight and have strong muscles...how much I love my hip bones: not ribs, not super skinny, just the tops of my hip…

In that case, I suggest a REALLY hot bath and a nap or early bedtime. Nothing kicks the crud like a couple extra hours of sleep if you can manage it. The induced pseudo fever also helps kill it and relaxes you. I also really like those Strawberry C Monsters. Those three things work for me about half of the time.
-
Indeed Jeep, indeed we do.

How big is your deficit? Not eating enough could cause this too. Do you take a multivitamin? Specifically with some vitamin D? It is that time of year. Depression, seasonal or otherwise, is another possibility. Is there an active activity that like and makes you happy? Salsa dancing is one for me. It's exercise but doesn't…

Interesting... _John_ must have a lot of time on his hands :p
-
Generally this. At the end of the day I know how many snacks I was actually hungry for, whether I actually went to the gym or not, if something happened and there was free food at work instead of the lunch I packed or whatever. If I know that I am going out for dinner I plan lower calorie/more satiating things, but don't…
-
Fabulous :) I started with walking myself and just kept on adding new stuff. Do you still log? And what does your doc say now? WTG!
-
.... You should add the serious exercise if you like it, and then eat more. If your deficit is too big, with or without exercise, you'll be tired, foggy, grumpy, sleep to much, be cold all of the time, zombieland..... OR you could kick some @ss, eat all of the things, and lose some weight. Last time time I did martial arts…

Unfortunately, while somewhat better than women's pants, 28 inches is almost never 28 inches. Heres' just the first article I found when I tried googling one I half remembered: https://www.buzzfeed.com/philipwylonis/one-skinny-dude-tries-on-10-different-pairs-of-jea-1j3vg ^ everything from 30-35 inches on a 31inch tag. Its…

I've never seen that.... The most "muscle bound gym rats" have often been the kindest people I've met. Offering the occasional advice if I ask, but more generally just "the nod" even though my weights are "low". Simple moments that have made my day. This happened when I was just getting started with at least 20lbs to lose…

A bit of advice: When you get tired of hearing her say the SAME effing thing for the 3rd, 5th, 10th(!) time, just mute her and listen to music, or my favorite, run the dvd on your laptop under/next to your TV and watch what you want. You can still see her in your peripheral vision to see when to switch exercises, but don't…

For a 49 year old female with 3 pounds left to lose? I'd say its more likely high than low. Sorry, I know it sucks. BUT! We could always be wrong. Weigh and track everything you eat. Log your exercise... If you lose faster than you expect, than you're burning more than you are logging and vice versa.
-
This. And it'll give you goal and average as well as how many left for the week. So if your goal is say 1800 and under it your average is 1600, you can multiply the difference by the number of days you've logged. If thats what you see before you log anything Wednesday morning, you'd be under 400 so far. I use this all of…

When my mum said that I have too much muscle, to the point of, and I quote, "being almost ugly" People, including my mum, saying that I clearly have an eating disorder because I'm thin and said something about weighing my food. I was at my "ideal" body fat/weight. Bikini pics in my profile, both selfies and beach. People…

The whole office smelled like sauerkraut the other day. I could have murdered someone. agree with above stuff too. My coworkers once got mad at me for instant maple and brown sugar oatmeal. I had NO idea that it was that strong.

I'm using my weight "trend" number from Libra (which cuts out daily fluctuations, but is also slow to acknowledge weight loss...and plateaus) Original starting weight: 173.2 Its been 4 years and I stopped maintaining starting weight : 153.9 Ultimate goal :140 03/01 :152.4 03/08 :151.9 (0.5lb loss) 03/15 :151.3 (1.1lb total…
