You might want to provide more information so we cna understand the nature of what you consider to be bad and then advise on how we might go about tackling the problem. If I was in that situation I wouldnt panic, but understand what had happened and why . Learn from it and then look towards creating consistent deficits at…

Just becayse you have 150lbs to lose doesnt mean you cant be at a maintenance level in terms of calories in v calories out. There are alarm blls going off over what you are posting and your undersanding of how the weight loss journey will work, but I feel you are quite headstrong and are going to do it your way no mayyer…

Cant say I agree with you. The scale is just one measurement. I prefer to see it in perspective and use a number of ways of measuring, but i found the scale to be motivational and BMI ok for general guidance. I dislike unbalanced reactions that becayse they dont like one thing they think the dead opposite reaction will…

Agree absolutely. Theres no reason for people to get worked up about it.

What does your hiit consist of? How is it helping you improve muscle? It will help you lose fat vecayse it burns calories.
-
+1 to the ones who say either set it to be included in your acruvuity level or get a pedometer/fitbit. Dont start giving yourself credit for activity you arent doing as it will mess your deficit up.
-
Maybe not for you but for many those extra calories cna make a big difference. Obviously if you dont burn many extra calories then you wont be eating muh more but some people cna burn substantial amounts, which does let them eat more.
-
Maybe work on your mindset and understand how weight loss works. How badly do you wnat the results, how quickly do you wnat them and keep your expectations reasonable. You calorie count to help you maintain an accurate deficcit. 1. Counting becomes easier once you build up a small database of the types of food you eat. 2.…

What they said if you want anything other than generic advice. My guess is: 1. Its not really going to be a plateau. 2. You are eating more than you think because your deficit control is inaccurate. 3. Upi havent spent time to understand properly how cico works and appreciate that weight loss is not linear. 4. you only…

Lol I was amazed at all the wrongness in one post, is it real? I got the impression that it was financial restrictions and thats more or less confirmed in her subsequent posts as she talks about parents and expense. OP my two tips would be 1. Oatmeal is fantastically cheap and makes a nutritious meal for the day, its a…

Intensity is not about how long or often its about how hard you go at it. If you feel fine, then carry on. For some cardio might be walking but for others it could be hiit training, the latter is a lot more intense and takes more time to recover from steady walking. If you listen to your body as you increase your exercise,…

1. Plateaus are normally viewed as no weight loss for 6-8 weeks+. Weight loss inst linear so you cant expect it to go down every week. Some weeks it will not move. 2. You have lost 5 kg or 11lbs in 2 months so c 5lbs a month, which is good going and respectable. Well done. 3. So you havent lost for a month, this might…

No juts keep it simple and do the basics well. That means focus on the consistent deficit and then you will lose.
-
If you are tired of starting over then why not do it properly including having a dufferent straegy and approach that ensures you can deal with the things that throw you off track. It makes no sense otherwise because you need to ask yourself why this time will be different? Id get bored of that as well. If you are going to…

Im sure previous posters have all given you good advice, so pardon me if its more of the same. Part of the process requires you to commit and just do whats needed because you want it badly enough and those who cant manage it prever to make the choice of continuing the way there are and do no wnat it badly enough. No hiding…
-
Im sure they have all said it, but your fist focus is on understanding its how much you consume and no what you consume that matters for weight loss. Be at deficit and you will lose. Exercise can help with weight loss or help create a bigger deficit, but you cna lose weight without it. Fitness is a desirable goal in its…

Am sure everyones said it but they have calories in them eat more than you need and you gain. Fruits can be filling and highly nutritious.

Ate more than my body needed , especially as I was moving less. Thats how we all put on weight.

No worries tomatoey. Think we are in agreement then. the point is for the people who are saying its unreasonable is that its a general population measure useful as a general guide. It doesnt claim to be perfect and ofc it has significnat flaws. The point tomatoey made and I saw as well as others is that if you are…
-
No idea why you are addressing me tomatoey. Actually I agree with your point though, if I were the OP I would lose the weight first and moan about BMI when I was at a level at which I though BMI made no sense. Agree that complaining before you are there looks like an excuse.
-
Nope I think its a useful guide and useful if used for the purpose it was intended. People that moan on about it fail to understand what it is and how it came about. Its a guide for general population averages, but it has weaknesses when applied to some individuals. Some mfpers do have a higher degree of muscle than othes.…
-
Patience and application. You are frustrated becayse you are placing the stress on yourself and have unreasonable expectations, nobody else sees whats happening to you as anything like a plateau. It may be that the weightloss insnt linear should apply to your situation, but it may also prove to be the case if your weight…
-
The fact you think its an issue means you should learn about fluctuations.
-
No because it evens out over the whole loaf and tbh im not that bssessed with sleight calorie variations as I burn plenty of calories through exercise.
-
Lol@ the abuse flagging. Some of you flaggers are really crazy. Therea a problem with being told to eat food as a source of protein? OP if you dont like chocolate then why did you buy a chocolate flavour? If you go for protein again then realise you cna often get samples so you can ry before you buy. You cna get…

73lbs in six months is outstanding. Well done.

Cardio exercise and calories burned depends on 3 main factors. 1 Intensity (how hard you pedal) 2 Duration (how long) and your weight( Heavier people burn more calories. Using the bike will help your fitness levels in terms of hear and lungs. As you are starting then be ready to accept you are at whatever fitness level you…

If you have a fully blown migraine then it usual incapacitates you and exertion will not be possible. Your priority should be coping with the migraine. I cna only think if you have effective medication then you could consider resuming exercise after. Sometimes a walk might assist, but most of the time I need rest ,…

Is your ticker correct and thats the amount you have to lose? If so You need a findamentla rethink in how you approach the task ahead and strat preparing your mind for a long journey. It can be you one day in the success section, but your mindset has to be strong, your knowledge correct, your plan achievable, expectations…
