  • What do you mean exercise carbs?

  • Let's look at specifics! First of all, your diary is private so I can't really tell what you're doing wrong. But, if you're not losing weight--you're not eating at a caloric deficit. Are you weighing all of your food on a food scale? It is very easy to underestimate portions! For example, if you're putting in "chicken…

  • Definitely make sure you are weighing all of your food! It is very easy to miscalculate the calories that are in things like cheese or salad dressing. Also, add in some more calorically dense foods to your diet. Let's be honest--you didn't become overweight by eating too few calories, so we all know it's not impossible!…

  • Hey there! I'm 22 and in college as well! I have really only been using the mobile app, but I'm starting to use the actual website a lot more. Feel free to add me!

  • Weight loss isn't linear. A lot of time's you'll lose weight one week and maintain (or even gain the next). Another problem may be that if you are eating back the calories you burned during your working out, that you are overestimating the amounts.
    in working out more and gainging weight!! Comment by healthysmart November 2014
  • No one can make you lose weight. Only you can control the food entering your mouth. The reality is weight loss comes down to math. Eat less than you burn and you'll lose weight. You can manipulate that to lose weight faster or slower, but it's all up to you.

  • Listen to your doctor, not MyFitnessPal.

  • The reality of weight loss is that you need to eat a caloric deficit. Judging by your profile picture, you're not that large. So weight loss is going to take longer for you. If you're TDEE is 1600 calories, and you're eating 1200 calories--you're at a 400 cal/day deficit. That would put you at a weekly deficit of 2800…

  • This is not a good challenge to do. It is overloading the body in an unhealthy way. If you want to start squatting go to the gym and include a beginner program like Starting Strength or Strong Lifts. Doing 100+ squats a day will not grow or shrink your butt.

  • The reality of weight loss is that it's calories in vs. calories out. If you're not losing weight, then you're not burning more than you're eating. Maybe that means you're not meticulously tracking your food (that means weighing everything, no guesstimates) or you're overestimating the calories that you're burning.
    in why am I not losing weight? ? Comment by healthysmart September 2014
  • Stick to grilled chicken and the sort. Eat lots of veggies and limit the caloric carbs. Or, hell, it's one day a week. Eat what you want, but not as much as you want. If you want a burger, eat a burger, not two. If you want some chips, eat a serving, not five. Drink maybe a beer and a mixed drink. As long as you aren't…

  • If you're feeling light headed, try bumping up your calories for a bit and then cutting them on a more gradual approach. Jumping from eating a lot, to eating at a deficit can be difficult and is best to do gradually.
