Start today. Get a food scale. Perseverance is key. You've got this!

This would be included in your activity level.

How much are we talking and in how much time?

Snort! Always

But magic!

Age and activity level change the number.

Nope, not at all.

Awesome work. As a mom, I would be 100% supportive.

Weight loss comes from a caloric deficit. Exercise helps the deficit.

So I'll reiterate here:

That was NOT meant as a criticism, it was an honest question, as the meal choice as an occasional one, sounds fine. Personally I would have had some veggies, but if you were unable to, then the peanut butter and apple statement. Actually, I did read all of the post and I didn't see where you ate peanut butter for two days.…

If you're not weighing, you have no idea how much you're really consuming. Thus you can't say for certain you're in a deficit, thus no weight loss.

Never heard of it, BUT eating in a deficit works and is free. Good luck.

Unnecessary and a waste of money to boot.

How are you measuring your consumption?

How about you pre-log your day to include a night time snack?

Water weight and normal daily fluctuation.

So you had to eat chicken and chips and that's bad??? Buy a jar of peanut butter and toss it on an apple.

Watching what you eat, is not being in a deficit. Being in a deficit, is what causes weight loss.

Most have nutritional information posted. When they don't you can find something pretty close.

Still, it all comes down to CICO, thus it's not harder, it's just a different equation.

Yes, you should be eating more. You're 18 with 3 pounds to lose, you need your nutrients.

Yep

Water and poop retention = fluctuation

You, just go get it!

Awesome recognition!

Good thing you have that sexy ole stomach T!

I didn't read it wrong. There is an insinuation going on there that taking care of herself means she doesn't love her husband. That's crap, just as I stated. She can do what she needs to do for herself and her husband, (think it was mentioned they were married 25 years), will still love her. As aforementioned, she clearly…

There you go. You do what makes you happy and he'll follow suit. THIS, is crap. Where did she say she didn't love her husband? Only someone insecure would state this opinion. She clearly loves him, since she's posted about his concerns of his reaction.

Self esteem should come from how YOU feel about yourself. Smile and blow them off, remembering YOU'VE done an awesome job.
