Not losing weight
I started my diet a week ago. I’m under 1500 cals and intermittent fasting (16-20 hours) I haven’t lost any weight. Usually when I start dieting, I lose an initial 5lbs the first week. The only difference is I’m on medication(accutane) this time. I don’t know if that’s the cause or not. Advice?

I ate at maintenance yesterday. I had pizza and a scoop of ice cream. SN: I've also started drinking diet soda. Before I was…

Heart rate over 200
So today I was on the elliptical. I was doing really good far as energy ( usually I'm barely making it) but my heart rate was on the 190s an went up to 203 then the machine automatically brought the resistance down. Is it bad to have a HR that high? Usually it's in the 160-170s range but today I was going harder than…

Water intake
Does water really help with weight loss... I honestly don't really like drinking water but have started drinking some since I've cut down on sugary drinks. I prob have 24oz of water a day and that's all I drink...is that terrible? Honestly there has been days when I don't drink anything because I'm not thirsty.

I'm currently 163lbs my goal is 145lbs... I'm eating around 1500 cals a day. I've been steadily losing 1lb a week for the past few weeks.

One cookie made me gain 2lbs
Well not exactly one! I've been having trouble with incorporating "not so healthy foods" into my diet without going overboard. So on last Wednesday had a taste for s chocolate chip cookie, so I had one... problem is, in my mind having one cookie is like having 10. If I have one I might as well have a few more (because my…

I haven't been losing weigh for the past couple weeks.. Could it be because I'm not drinking water. I know it's crazy but I don't like water and now that I've cut out soda I barely drink anything but maybe a cup of low cal lemonade a day

Question for the ladies!
Do you weigh more when on period? I googled and it says that before your period starts you may gain a couple lbs of water weight but it will leave soon as the period starts. I started yesterday, my weight has been the same for a week despite me working hard to lose. Could it be because I'm on my period? I know it's suppose…

Is a calorie a calorie?
I feel this question has probably been worn out but I have to ask... I like food that is not necessarily "healthy". If my goal is only fat loss do I need to worry about where my 1500 calories a day are coming from? If I rather have a 150 cal bag of chips Than 150 calories of almonds is that ok?

Eat back calories
I'm trying to lose weight but I'm confused on whether I'm suppose to eat back calories I burn? I usually eat about 1400/Day ( in order to lose 1.5 lb a week) According to my HRM I burn about 600 cals during my hour workout 3X a week. When I enter this on my fitness pal it adds to my available calories. Wouldn't that be…

Calorie consumption
Is it better to be under my calories or eat something that's not "healthy" to hit my goal ? I'm sometimes about 1100 calories at the end of the day. I could easily eat a few cookies to hit my caloric goal but is that silly? Also, should I exercise on days that I don't eat enough calories. It's hard for me to eat enough…

Home scale vs gym scale
I have used the same mechanical scale at home ( one that looks like a clock). When I weigh my self it says I'm 172lbs.which would mean I've lost about 10 months in the month I've been dieting (Hooray!) I weighed myself at the gym yesterday and it said 179 (Boo) I tested my home scale by placing a 15lb weight on it and it…
