Under your settings you can check if you want to add in calories burned or not. I have mine unchecked so that I don’t eat back calories burned

I think my question is: I know it should be slow and will be slow. But what does that mean? I actually feel good and not as bloated and uncomfortable. But if I follow good nutrition and calories and continue to exercise 4-5 days per week when will you know you are on the right track vs time to change something? Two months?…

Recomp? And if I’m under eating I shouldn’t gain fat, deficit=loss. With that being said, what would recommendation be?

Tracking though mfp, food scale

Yes. Agreed. But curious what would be a good, yet quick, pace for what I have to lose? More interested in inches then weight. Toning.

No. About the same. Now with only 15 to lose I think potentially it could come in a whoosh. It happens from time to time like that. But unsure how much time I should give before adjusting down more? I just feel crappy when I go less. But maybe for a few weeks to kick start?

I ea I have been tracking for a little over a month this time. I track my wine at 30 carbs and calories. Usually 3-5 a week. Usually weekends.

I think I am. 5’4” 160. Very active. I would assume 1400 is cal deficit. But maybe I should go under 1000. But I get so run down and lethargic under 1300

No I never eat my calories back.

Starting weight:160. I’d like to be 145. I’m a pretty solid size 6. But I have a lot of back, hip fluff. Even more then weight I’d like to take my waist from 29” to 27-26” and hips from 38 to 35”. And my bust like where I have the back bra fat-ewe gross-from 27-24. I’m very strong and have a lot of muscle. But lack…

Lose fat would be ultimate goal and tone. I weight everything to the gram, as much as I possibly can. Higher protein and carbs under 100 on the high side. Keep calories under 1400 because I’m sure there are some calories that aren’t properly accounted for. If I go less then 1400 I feel depleted especially on orangetheory…

Yes I can maintain with food. But it’s the celebrating of having a couple beers at a brewery at lunch and then happy hour and a after dinner night cap. But those are some of the funniest moments. But luckily/unfortunately in my life, I’m faced with a lot of friends and moments like this. I need to find a better balance. It…

No. It is real fat gain. Although there is some water weight in there. I told myself at first it was water gain but over time it has become real fat that needs to die.

This is exactly my story. Kept off so much of the weight for years and still fit into my clothes. However by thinking I was maintaining I’ve gained about 19 pounds over the 3 years. The very thought of weighing, increasing intensity of workouts, and even caring is an exhausting thought for me. But I am so relieved to see…

But sincerely, and of course there will be those that don’t understand, but when I do this I gain weight I don’t take off. I swear, I do not overboard. My main thing is having too much too drink when on vacay. Have no idea how not to be all In or gain. Don’t know how to balance this

I have no scientific data or know why. But two examples of it hurting weight loss: On the 30/10 weight loss diet program they were adamant that it stalls fat loss and it was not approved. Any chemical type drink including crystal light. La croix was ok I have another friend who sincerely swears she only cut a lg amount of…

It happens so fast and sometimes unexpectedly. I hear people say not to weigh every day. But if I don't then it tends to creep up. And it's the small things. A bite here and a bite there. An extra glass of wine. Eek. I too am back at losing the few pounds that have snuck up

I have done cross fit for years. I log as calestenics

I did go a long time without water the last few days. In drinking more today.

I am in the same boat except my scale is up 7! Eek! I wish I wasn't so depressed over it and a number on the scale but I am. Hang in there. It doesn't mean that tomorrow you will wake up with all the hard work erased. It just happens. Drink more water and dial in nutrition. Nothing too extreme. Just get back at it and it…

Thank you so much! I definitely can feel the retention and the swelling and I know my weight will go up. I've been doing fodmap diet and have been lakes formulate some time. Glad that I'm not alone. I just don't want it to be fat

I try to not have the number on the scale dictate my feelings of success. It's so much work to lose fat and in terrified that I'm going to enjoy myself too much and lose all the hard work and effort. Thank you all for the guidance and reassurance. I know what you are saying to be correct but it's hard to own it for myself.…

Have you ever used bone broth? Apple cider vinegar?

Yes I'm working with many doctors. And a nutritionist.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one! I have gained about 3 pounds from a month of celebrating turning 40 and can't get it off and I'm totally panicked yet I know it's fine. I know my measurements haven't changed but I can't stop thinking about it.

Yes I'm taking shots straight. I'll dilute it-obnoxious taste but the feeling is awful

Has anyone with gallbladder issues had problems losing weight or maintaining weight loss?

It takes time to get used to it and so it a little at a time. Also make sure healthy fats are intentionally put into your diet. Like olive oil or coconut oil on veggies. I even use a tsp of coconut oil in my coffee. Helps with satiation and energy

I'm 5'4 and at maintenance am 145. No matter how low I go in calories my body really likes it here. For me, I need to be around 1500 cals to maintain even though I do CrossFit and am very active during the day. You may need to drop your calories. And also for me I can not have one cheat, EVER! Not a bite of something. Not…
