Check out the Strong Curves program by Bret Contreras, eat at a not-to-aggressive deficit and get enough protein. Lots of time and patience!

I would keep in mind that some of the initial loss would have been water weight or less waste in her system. I’d play around with eating more fat, fiber, and protein. Personally I’d also be hungry after an apple or banana too, but if I added a hard-boiled egg, cottage cheese, or string cheese that would help.

I took it along with Topamax from a local quack diet center a several years ago.... long before I got wise to MFP. It was the most miserable month of my life, I had dry mouth so bad I could barely stand it, which also gave me bad breath. I remember trying to do a Zumba class and I could not quench my thirst. I did lose…

Malibu in cherry Coke Zero is bomb

The OP is trying to increase her protein intake on a much lower calorie goal. Protein is important to maintain muscle mass while in a deficit. This post doesn’t really address the OP’s situation.

Saying this as a Boss/Manager to many direct reports, there is NOTHING that the boss can or should do to get your coworker to eat. If it ever reaches the point that it is directly affecting performance, etc at that time your mutual boss will address it directly with the employee, typically with the guidance of HR so as to…

Is this an app you are using to track your gym visits?

That’s what I thought.... if you had 10k steps today you were not sedentary hence the large adjustment. I’d start by eating at least half of the calories and see where you stand in 3-4 weeks. I also set mine to sedentary so that on my office days that I don’t move much my allowance is lower, but on days I’m not sedentary I…

What is your activity level set at in MFP? The 1,000 calorie adjustment doesn’t mean that you burned that much in your workout, but that you exceeded your set activity level by that amount. In your case it would mean that you exceeded what MFP has for whatever your selected activity is. The lower your activity level, the…

726 today.... however I have my settings as Sedentary, but I wasn’t today ;-)
-
I eat my Fitbit calories and still lose/maintain right on schedule.... getting calories from my Fitbit just means I've exceeded the activity level I selected in MFP.
-
To gain 3 pounds of fat you'd have to eat 10,500 calories over maintenance. Most likely you have some water weight... I see you mention soy sauce, even the low sodium is sky high.
-
I like Premium and I do use some of the options... but MFP is completely usable without it. I’d look at the features and decide if they are worth it to you.

I’ve heard good things about the Withings WiFi scales.... I currently have a cheap one I bought at Aldi and it’s reliable, but when it dies I’m going to get a Withings

OMG I ate lunch out with coworkers and got a California Omelette thinking it was a good choice. 916 CALORIES, are you kidding me for a omelette.

I love Zumba and have done it for years..... It is great for cardio and makes the time seem to go by fast. Dancing makes me happy. :)

Aldi for in-season fruits/veg and staples

I just treated myself to the Apple earpods, loving them so far!

My guess is that her 18-month old, while still nursing is also eating other foods. Her actual milk production may have already been reduced as a result of that.... I do agree with you, just pointing out that her body is likely not providing the full nutrition for her child. I agree that a chat with her lactation consultant…

As far as the 2,000 calorie number, I think that is also an average for Men/Women, and is also to maintain weight, not lose weight. For instance, my normal TDEE (not counting meaningful exercise) is around 2,200 calories.
-
No one is saying to limit fruit and veg..... what we are saying is you do still need to account for them. I also like to record the fiber, fats, etc that they contribute. Some are calorie dense (such as avocado). Weight on scale in grams.
-
Even changing to 1.5 pounds per week should give you a few more calories... I had mine set there until I had 25 pounds to go at which time I lowered to 1 pound per week. Once I have 10 pounds or so left I’ll drop it to 0.5 per week. Slow and steady wins the race

Hi, I have also read those stories.... but I’ve not experienced it personally. I’m on my third Mirena and have gained/lost/maintained as expected.

There are portion-controlled single serving portions of PB, I buy those. They are more expensive but help with the temptation to over-indulge.
-
Exactly..... they should rename it Weight Watchers Free-For-All plan

I find posts like this more pretentious than a post about a water bottle. *shrug* I’ve never seen this bottle but I think it’s neat, but I’m a gadget person. Just like Fitbits, WiFi scales, smartphone apps, if it helps with a healthy lifestyle and you want one, why not? I see on Amazon that it syncs with MFP, I fully admit…

There is a long thread on Disboards about Flight of Passage being difficult for people of size. The vehicle is like a street bike with closures around the back of legs and against your back. The ride is amazing but can have lonnnnggg waits so I’d check that out before waiting on it. Splash Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain…

The OP said that she knew what she was doing was unhealthy and was working with her relationship with food. Not sure why you continue to beat this horse. If she is struggling with it, encouraging the behavior would be irresponsible on our parts. ETA: Hugs to you OP. I do think that understanding the process and what is…
