Plateau Again - I think I know the answer but hopefully something shows up
I have a question on the plateau again. This is my second effort into weight loss after I took a few months off in between. Each time, when I have lost about 30 pounds I hit a plateau for at least 3 weeks, actually I never really break through. I have wondered about calorie count catching up to progress but the weight loss…

Portion weighing question
This is a newbie question, even though I have been doing this weightloss for a bit. I have been through the guessing and estimating portions and found that over time, I was using too many of my deficit calories by not accurately reporting everything.

Is this plateau normal?
I am 52 years old and I am taking on a large weight loss journey. The first 3 months were pretty easy. I lost 50 pounds over that time, with most of it coming the first two months. Since that point, I have gone approximately 1 month without losing anything? I have actually gained a pound. I understand that plateaus are…

50+ Beginning Weight Lifting Routine
I just turned 52 years old and I have been on MFP for almost 2 months. I am very overweight and am looking at an 18 month to 24 month weight loss adventure. My immediate concern is losing weight, gaining everyday strength and lowering my blood pressure. I was athletic into my 40's (even when heavy) so I am not a complete…

Newbie Question for the Group
I am right at a month into my weight loss journey. I have lost right at 25 pounds this first month, but because I am so overweight, the pounds are coming off fairly easy. I am losing about a pound per day. I would like to lose 160 more, and gain some muscle back (so more fat loss with muscle gain). My question right now is…
