You don't have permission to do that

Losing Weight is NOT that simple..imo..
I've lost 40lbs about, so what I'm doing is working for me, I'm not complaining. But I get frustrated when I see a forums response like "Just eat less calories than you're burning...are you sure you're weighing accurately?" This seems patronizing, and also is flawed in a couple ways. First, it's really difficult to just…

BACK IN THE 200's..YAASSSS
So I was 337 when I started eating better, and 328 or something on June 4 when I started tracking foods. Now I'm finally back in the 200's at 299. That was pretty much my entire goal, and now I'm just gonna sit back and keep goin but not care about weight. I might even try a month solid without weighing, what do yall think…

Switched jobs, exercised way more, lost 0 weight
Went from walking like 2000 steps a day to 10k-20k this whole week. Expected to make some real progress while eating about the same as always, but didn't lose anything...boooooo...any ideas?

logging rice??
So I've been eating white rice, but logging it is difficult, I only seem to find 2 types, dry white rice by the gram, and cooked white rice by the cup.. is there not one that is cooked by the gram? I understand it's probably not as scientifically accurate as dry by the gram, but its much more realistic because I batch cook…

Changed jobs - tracking calories
So my job has gone from about 500 steps a day to 8000. Should I keep my sedentary status the same and just track the extra exercise orrr??

Low heart rate
So I know y'all aren't professionals but..pretty smart people I think. I've been eating more healthy and doing cardio, my bicycling ability has gone from 10mph average to 15 average so that's really good. But my resting heart rate was about 80 before I started, and now it's about 60, sometimes 58ish. I don't feel any…

Lost just over 1 lb last week, then 4 this week..
Guess that's what yall mean about weight loss not being linear.

exercise calories accuracy
I don't own a fitbit or anything. I usually use a stationary recumbent gym bike for half an hour and have just been logging "bicylcling, 12-14mph, moderate" because that's about how fast the machine says I averaged. But there's also a "stationary bike" which is more accurate in terms of the type of machine...but it has…

Brown Rice...Alternatives?
I love some chicken, with some bbq sauce or ranch, I could eat it twice or more every single day, but I'm finding the brown rice I typically eat it with less and less appealing...any healthy alternatives? What do you like in the grain/carb type foods?

Pizza with bacon and extra cheese...
This is what I've been obsessing over at work for the last couple hours, thought I might pay it forward :P

What are your food staples?
I need to start branching out from my oatmeal, peanut butter, bag of veggies, chicken and rice rut...Any ideas??

5 days no weight loss -Boooo
So in about 35 days I've gone from 337 to 314, and it's been very steady and rewarding. Now this week I've gone nowhere, in fact was 315 this morning...Ughh.. I know these things happen allll the time, and 5 days is nothing, but I'm very used to seeing the numbers go down, and feeling that sense of reward and…

Insomnia
I work overnights which is fine, but two days a week I like to have a somewhat normal sleep night..but I often just can't sleep..I'm considering taking something those days. Would any of you recommend from personal experience, melatonin, ambien, or smoking marijuana?
-
New PR...Fk Yeah!
I know this should be in some other section but you weight loss peoples are my jam...Anyway, 2 weeks ago I started riding a stationary bike and could barely make it 5 miles in half an hour, today I made it past 7...So stoked!

Gaining a new mentality toward "losing weight"
So I've been eating better moving more lately, about a month or so, and I'm down over 20 lbs, but I decided not to weigh myself on the scale for a week. During that week I started to just kind of forget about how much I weighed, but consider more how I feel, and it's really cool. Whether I lose weight or not, eating more…

Alcohol macros
So I'm gonna drink tonight. Probably a few shots of whiskey on ice. Anyone know what macros make up liquor? The log doesn't really show.

My Food Diary - Your opinions please
Wacha think? I'm 6'1, 320, lost about 15lbs in a few weeks. First, I'm not starving, I eat all my food between 3-9pm, and with all the water I drink (about 64oz) I really never feel hungry. Second I basically weigh everything (I'd say up to 90% accuracy) on a digital scale, mostly in grams. Even things that say X cups, the…

Fruit smoothies
I want to start making smoothies, because they allow me to get more calories/nutrition without feeling as full.I borrowed a friends blender the other day and made one with some yogurt, ice, and mixed berries and it was damn good, does anyone know a good blender for making smoothies? I'd like to keep it under a couple…

Exercise Bike Calorie Counter
I'm 320lbs, 6'1, and I just used a recumbent exercise bike for exactly 30 mins, going almost exactly 7 miles (14mph average), varrying difficulty levels, with an average heart rate of 148...I'm SPENT...but the machine had all that info and said I only burned 200 cals....Are you kidding me? half an hour of insane effort…

Obsessed with weighing myself..
So for a few weeks I've been eating better and doing cardio. I'm about 15lbs down, and I love the feeling I get when I lose a pound, or half a pound a day, weighing myself every morning. But the other day for whatever reason I'd gained a pound and some change, and got pretty down. It didn't effect how I'm doing with the…

Nutrition Frustration
Breakdown is I'm 6"1', 320 lbs, and I'm trying to lose weight by eating better and some cardio (you can view my food diary and such correct?) I've lost about 15lbs in a month or so, but kinda stalled recently. My big issue is that I don't know what amounts of each macro I should be getting, and online is a hotmess of…

Right macros?
What's a good % for macros for me? I'm 6'1 320, and not in the least athletic. The only exercise I get in a day is the half hour I get on an exercise bike. Just wanna lose weight, and suggestions on macro ratios?
