There may be good news. You may have burned more calories walking in them. Poor girl, that hurts. Enjoy your steak! You earned it! Happy birthday!

I did not tell her not to weigh and measure her food (see the very first comment here, which was from me). No, muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound, no matter what it is. Muscle, fat, skin, bones, feathers, rock, whatever.

For all that are not seeing her previous post, she already has told us she has a cell free home on the weekends and is tracking on paper and eating the same as during the week. I would advise to keep going for a couple more weeks. If there is no loss, contact your health care professional who may be able to rule out any…

True words. Realize that over 80% of the people that lose the weight, gain all of it (some gain even more than they lost) back. A small percent are able to keep it off for over 5 years. If you don't learn moderation and portion size while losing, will you be able to do this in maintenance?

Seriously, muscle does not weigh more than fat. A pound is a pound, whether it is fat, muscle, feathers, lead.

Are you weighing and measuring EVERYTHING that you eat and drink?
-
You know yourself better than anyone else. If you do not have the self control to limit certain foods the simple solution for you is to not buy, or eat them. However, many people can eat anything in moderation and stay within their calorie allotment. Moderation is key for losing and maintaining weight loss. As with all…

No. Starvation mode is a myth. You lose weight by eating less calories than you burn. Rate of loss is unique to each person. Weigh, measure and log EVERYTHING that you eat and drink accurately.

SW 290# @ 4 weeks lost 20# @ 7 months lost total of100# @ 1 year lost total of 140# @ 20 months goal weight reached @ 130#. As you can see, it took a long time to lose the final 20#. Ideally I would like to be at 125# I have gotten down to 125, but it was a struggle to maintain. I have been maintaining @ 130# (allow myself…

^Me too. My first two months on MFP I totally stayed away from sweets. I read a post here at that time that said don't give up the things you love. Ever since then, my reward at the end of the day for staying within my calories, is a Dove dark chocolate promise with caramel and sea salt. I have tried other kinds of candy,…

Eggs are good for you, eat them. I really like the eggs that I get at the farmers market best. If I have to buy them, I get Eggland's Best. Their chickens are cage free. No need to worry about cholesterol, the guidelines have changed, so it is perfectly ok to have the whole egg

I use the bagel thins (2/3 less calories) and add some ham. Really good!
-
Everything I eat and drink is logged. Everything has calories and they add up. To avoid another post that comes up daily, "Why am I not losing weight"? Weigh it, measure it, and log it all. Stay within your calorie amount, and you will not be posting one of the daily "why am I not losing", topics.
-
I lost over 160# doing this, and have been on maintenance for 28 months. Everything in moderation and I will be eating like this for the rest of my life. It truly works for me.

You burn calories constantly, just living. If any, a negligible amount more sitting in a sauna or steam room, but it feels good, and does open the pores.
-
Dang, and here I thought I was the only one, LOL. Good to know there are others. I have two bags of Dove dark chocolate with caramel and sea salt in the kitchen drawer, unopened. I do allow myself one piece per day. I also bought a bag of Dove white chocolate eggs that are in the candy dish. I am the same way. If I don't…

All oils have a lot of calories. I personally use a good non-stick pan and a spritzer bottle with EVOO. I don't need much. I just bought a bottle of almond oil yesterday and am anxious to try it. It was pretty expensive, but I will use it sparingly. Good luck to you. Weigh/measure/log everything you eat and drink and stay…

Cheese, glorious cheese! Eat it! Work it into your calories for the day. If you want to cut the calories, use a cheese planer or vegetable peeler to shave pieces.
-
28 months on maintenance. Log food & exercise daily still. Do not weigh and measure food. Weigh daily too. The same time each morning. I have to do this to keep from regressing. The statistics for regaining all the weight back, and for some, gaining even more than they lost, are over 80%. My goal is to keep the weight off,…

DON'T YOU EVER GIVE UP! You can do this! Seriously, if I can do this, anyone can. I must have missed it, but how long have you been at this? If your body composition is changing, good is definitely happening.
-
Are you in good health otherwise? Did you check with your physician or health care professional before beginning your weight lost/becoming healthier program?

They have PB2 at all the grocery stores here, Target, Wal-Mart, everywhere. Plus JIF has a powdered peanut butter too. JW-what is wrong with eating a Reese's PB egg? They even have mini's now .
-
^^Definitely this! I lost over 160#. Been on maintenance a little over 2 years. Loose skin tightens up some over time, but loose skin is 100X better than being obese. Genetics enters into the equation somewhat, as well. Lose the weight, trust me, you will not be sorry. Don't sweat the small stuff.

^this++++++1 Misinformation abounds If I were to guess, you are eating more than you think. Are you weighing and logging EVERYTHING that you eat and drink? You should definitely be losing if you are eating that little and working out that much, and as others have said, 1300 calories is not enough for a man, unless you are…

Great for your pores and a nice way to relax after a work out. I would be all over this if my gym had one.
-
Facts are facts. You could exercise all day long, but unless you are eating less calories than you burn, you will not lose weight. And if you are exercising and eating more calories than you are burning (and it certainly is possible) you will gain weight. In order to lose weight you absolutely have to eat less calories…

It is personal preference. I go to the gym very early and do cardio for 65 minutes. For the past week, now that the snow is mostly gone, I also go for a walk when I get to work for about 40 minutes. I eat breakfast after. Just water while I am at the gym. Some people have a banana or other piece of fruit, and a protein…
-
Perhaps, but more accurate would be, can't out run eating more calories than you burn.
-
Like the replies so far, for weight loss, eat at calorie deficit, for overall health improvement, move more. Whatever physical activity you enjoy and will stick with.

Truly amazing! Congratulations! All of the hard work you put in is paying off! Keep it up!
