Non linear weight loss-just curious...
Who has had a slow start to their loss and then all of a sudden there's a drop? Right now, I'm seeing fractions of a pound as a loss each week, which is fine but between a 500 calorie deficit plus not eating back exercise calories I figured i would see more.

Running for weight loss
I tried searching the boards first but couldn't find a similar thread. I've been running for several years on and off now. I'm currently trying to lose around 15-20 lbs and run 3-4x/week anywhere between 2-4 miles. Will this help my weight loss cause or no? I also do spinning classes and try and get strength in there…

Persistence
First week at it and lost 0.1 lbs. In the past, I have jumped around after only a few weeks on any kind of diet plan. I'm doing my very best to stick with counting/logging and ignoring all the other diet banter out there. I'm told that persistence will get me to my goal and hoping that pays off. Who else has been on here,…

Fitbit and exercise
I'm new to the Fitbit world and was wondering...if the Fitbit picks up that you did activity other than just steps and it transfers to my fitness pal, do I not log the activity?? For instance, I just saw a Fitbit adjustment of 257 calories. Does that mean that the 15 minutes of activity I did equaled 257 calories?

CALLING ALL FOOD PREPPERS!
Let me start this one out on a positive note: I love to food prep. I think it's a fantastic, cost-effective way to nearly guarantee you stay on track. Downside: monotony/lack of creativity...both of which I'm suffering from. From mid-September last year to around the first week of November, I food prepped pretty…

Finding that sustainable balance-VENT
I've been trying to lose weight for...YEARS. 5-6 maybe at this point, maybe more. While I have lost weight since last year (about 10), which I'm proud of, I still am unhappy with how I look and feel. I realize that I need to stay WAY clear of any commercial "diet" to succeed. Diets lead to failure in most cases, and back…

Vent...honesty, etc
No need to comment if you don't want, but I just felt like I needed to vent "out loud" internet-style. I'm so frustrated with myself. I've been trying so hard for at least 5 years now to get the body I want and feel happy with. I just am not getting there. I crossfit all the time. Try running. Just started hot yoga. I feel…

Something to think about-might be helpful
Hi all :-) Just wanted to post something that helps me with calorie counting in general. Someone once told me to think about your daily allotment of calories like your bank account. If you only had $1,270 in your account, would you spend $1,370?? No! You'd be over drafted, and have to find money somewhere (exercise) to…

Question about quality v. quantity
Just curious (and this might be obvious), but do you find that you still lose weight if you don't eat good for you/whole foods as long as you stay within your daily calories? I'm of course making sure that 80-90% of what I eat are whole foods, but I wanted to see what other's experiences were with losing.
