When I'm on a deficit and actively losing weight, I am not just hungry at mealtimes. I am hungry all the time. Inevitably it has resulted in the end of all my diet attempts. Drugs negate it. My mother is the same way. Probably what is going on is the body's response to loss of body fat. It's ramping up hunger trying to…

Please review this thread and quote where I have given advice on how to lose weight and keep it off. I'm simply commenting that hunger is what you will have to deal with when you have a calorie restriction. And for me, drugs are the only thing I've found that counters that. Redux in the 90's, and now…

Yes. I've been playing this game for decades. I know what weight loss feels like.

Bingo. You can eat it, but it generally isn't worth it.

I agree. That's why I agree it's "crap". You eat this stuff all you're going is testing your willpower and blowing a huge chunk out of your daily calorie allotment for something that will leave you hungry in half an hour with hours to go until the next meal.

Of course it is. It's like asking someone what "clean" eating is. It's entirely arbitrary and up to the individual. And that's not what I said. I said it's crap because one teeny, unfulfilling slice that seriously tempts you to eating more is probably like 500 calories and is1/3rd of my daily allotment and ain't worth it…

Welcome to the life of calorie restriction. I know I'm losing weight when I feel that way. The only solution I've found for it is drugs.

No, it's "crap" because one teeny, unfulfilling slice that seriously tempts you to eating more is probably like 500 calories - 1/3rd of my daily allotment. I'd skip it, too. It ain't worth it. My company had Maggie Moos icecream truck visit yesterday. I just skipped it. I don't want to try to guesstimate how many calories…

I have a wifi scale that automatically uploads my weight, body fat percentage, heart rate, and more. I weigh every day as soon as I get out of the shower. I enjoy the granularity in the data. You have to look for trends.

Uncontrolled eating.

I would not eat the pizza. I only get 1570 calories a day and by the time my planned breakfast, lunch, and snacks are in I'm only left with about 1000 calories for dinner. I eat pizza for dinner sometimes but there is no room for it at lunch.

You just have to log what you drink just like any other food you eat or drink. Make sure you stay in your daily calorie limit.

So no one knows how to get the PC version to display a graph from all time? I gather it is not possible.

Diet composition has very little impact on body mass:

If a Big Mac fits in your calorie allowance for the day, eat it. It's 590 calories. About half your daily allotment. Is it worth it to you?

I couldn't make it through the video. All I know is I would love to make it to "dad bod". I don't think I've had "dad bod" since I was 18.

Your post is not clear. In MFP, you enter in your vital statistics, and then tell it what your current activity level is and how many pounds you would like to lose each week, with 2 pounds per week being the maximum. Based on this, MFP calculates a daily calorie goal that will hit the weight loss goal you told it you…

I just kind of wing foods like that from the database. It's hard to be exact with this sort of thing. It's like when I order a bowl of "seafood bisque" from my favorite restaurant. Who knows what's really in it. I just picked one that looked suitably high-calorie from the database and went with it. I don't eat it that…

You are getting some wrong information here. I think people misread/misunderstood what you asked. If you plugged in your stats correctly into MFP and told it you want to lose 1 pound per ween and it told you you need to eat 1770 calories a day to do that, then 1770 calories a day is what you need to eat to do that. MFP has…

Your organization has retained a quack for a fitness consultant. You can either go along to get along or you can call the President on his mistake.

I weigh every morning as soon as I get out of the shower. My scale is a WiFi scale that automatically uploads my weight. This gives me great data granularity. I enjoy the data. You have to look for trends.

I am losing weight and I do not exercise. Now that the community pool has opened up I have started taking the kids swimming so I will be getting some exercise in. But all of this was through diet alone. Ignore everything prior to 2/28 (new scale).

Looking good!

You will probably find after you log for about a month that you pretty much eat the same stuff all the time. So logging gets a lot easier because you can just pick the most recent entries and be done with it. I pretty much log 80% of the day's calories first thing in the morning because I know what I will be eating for…

Wendy's Ultimate Grilled Chicken Sandwich. I think it is 370 calories.

"Shakes" are just expensive meal replacements. If you need the structure that such meal replacements provide, they can have a place in your diet as a means to achieve a calorie goal. Most people find that they are not "sustainable" in that you won't be living the rest of your life using shakes as meal replacements. Sooner…

It's fun and keeps me focused.

As the saying goes, "Old age ain't for sissies!" :) As we age we frequently do less physical activity. Plus metabolism slows down a little. Log food, eat fewer calories.

I weigh myself every day as soon as I get out of the shower. I have a wifi scale that automatically uploads my vitals and syncs with MFP. I like the data granularity. Yes, there are ups and downs. It's the overall trend you are looking for.
