I'm afraid you need to find your own motivation as what helps me won't likely help you. We will listen though if you want to vent, and help if you have specific questions.

You don't provide us with more information, but if you mean you want to be 10kg lighter by 1 January then this won't happen unless you're severely obese. It's just over 6 weeks until the new year. That's more than 1.5kg per week. Only severely overweight people will actually manage that, and even MFP has an upper…

How long ago was it? If it was recent then water weight, inflammation, still air from surgery (they pump up your stomach with air so the surgeon can see what's happening). Are you tracking your food intake? Not having a gallbladder has no influence on the amount of calories you take up. If anything, eating too much fat…

I don't have premium, and honestly, I never really cared about the macro settings. I have a rough personal protein goal, and usually I get there, or at least close.

Also keep in mind that you'll get different measurements by measuring at just a few mm higher or lower.

Pretty much everything in the database is user-entered. Everything related to salt is probably a mixup of salt/sodium and mg/g

Yeah, this! If the doctor really just said "try Med" then that's super vague and TO should ask for clarification on what the doctor recommends exactly. And what the aim of it is. Also, how would it differ to TO eats currently?

I don't know why you think that chicken is bad. Or do you mean highly processed chicken products with masses of salt? Please give us more info so we can help you better. For high blood pressure, reducing salt might work. Weightloss if needed, and exercising are probably the best way forward though. And some people simply…

Yeah, its a massive amount, and you might also flushing out lots of electrolytes. Why not take a small bottle of water along and take a sip whenever you feel like it, or when your mouth feels a bit dry. For such a short walk, rehydrating afterwards is fine unless it's really hot where you are.

I weigh every day, but I do know that weight constantly fluctuates. Thus no panic here. It's more like: oh, weight is going up! Oh yeah, no bowel movement for 2 days, or new strength routine, or whatever.

Thanks a lot for your explanation and digging into this. I do wonder whether labeling food with added sugar in addition to total sugar might not even cause more foul play. Add food high in sugar, possible in a concentrated way, and then advertise as low in added sugar.

Can you give us some more ideas on what you're able to do? You can't walk at all? Are you able to swim? Use a rowing machine? Cycle, or use a handcycle? What would you like to do?

Great that you figured this out! I'm afraid though that there's no real bodyweight, unless you decide to drop dead and dehydrate. Your weight constantly fluctuates. After exercise you're dehydrated, after food and drink, which of course have a weight add to your weight, and it takes days to poop out the remains. Hormonal…

Are there countries where added sugar is available on nutritional labels next to sugar (general)? At least I've not seen this in Europe anywhere. Sugar is sugar here.

You could set your calorie goal to neither lose or gain weight. And then just never look at the totals.

Yeah, what the others said: Your deficit is very steep. Slow down, chose a slower weightloss rate per week. The lowest number MFP will give any male is 1500 calories, and you're barely above. You have so little to lose, and if you go too fast your body starts getting energy from muscles. Thus slow down, and don't forget to…

Do you mean to set your weightloss goal to 2lbs per week and hence have a 1000 calories deficit, or to eat less than 1000 calories? For a male, it should never be less than 1500 calories daily. And even with your normal weight fast weightloss would lead to losing a lot of muscle. You don't have a lot to lose. Set your…

Woops! A typo typo. 😅

You're the second person today mentioning this. Maybe there's a bug. Have you reported it to MFP? (this is a user forum). Do you log your exercise or do you have a fitness tracker connected? then you should see at the bottom of your diary that exercise calories were added. Did you have a type on your weight?

Yeah, water. Sorry you likely didn't lose 8lbs, but on the other hand your weight likely also didn't stall. Give it time. Water weight weirdness is totally a thing. Plus playing with big changes in diet can introduce the possibility that you pooped less. And also poop in your intestines has weight.

Did you run the guided setup again just to make sure the calories are not 'stuck'? Did you make a typo with your weight? Have you added a fitness tracker and those extra calories are due to your activities?

What is your calorie deficit? What's you're calorie goal? Like Pav8888 said: it might be a good idea to eat at maintenance and let the milk create the calorie deficit.

Use the guided setup and enter your data. Run this a few times, adjusting the weightloss goal per week so that you get more than 1200 calories. You're not heavy, thus I guess 0.5lbs to maybe 1lbs per week would be appropriate. Use a foodscale in grams and weigh everything you eat, don't forget cooking oil and condiments.

I'm not in AUS and different brands are available here. Personally, I prefer vegan protein. Some people say that vegan has some kind of chalky taste, but to be honest, if I use whey I have the feeling of chewing on egg shells, and it leaves me mouth dry and yucky. Plus I find it a lot more liquid-y while the vegan types…

Yes, waterweight. Your muscles need water for healing and for making you stronger. And this has weight of course. Give it time, it will eventually move on (and into the loo). Another thought: Are you eating enough with this new workout? Are you still running the same calorie deficit and not eating back some calories for…
