How is this possible?
So. This might get long. But hear me out. Six years ago I joined weight watchers and, at 5'2, went from 135 to 120lbs. When I went to Europe for six weeks, I went up to 140. Since then I have been drifting between 130 and 140 and have been in complete misery about it. I have been following the same WW program for six…

Eat more to weigh more, apparently.
This is so ridiculous. I've been trying to lose the same 15 lbs for five years and nothing. works. I know this seems like a piddly amount of weight, but I'm 5'2 and it makes a big difference on how I look and how I feel about myself. Plus, I'm 30% BF, which is not good. I should be able to lose this weight without killing…

I think I'm done with this whole TDEE thing.
I've been doing TDEE-20% for 4 weeks and I now weigh more than I did when I actually joined MFP a year ago. I know it's supposed to "take time" etc, etc, but I just can't deal with putting all this weight on. I am hoping that I've shocked my system enough that dropping to a lower calorie plan will actually work. This…

Share your experience--how long for IPOARM to work for you?
I've been gaining weight doing calorie cycling (wendie plan), so just this last week I decided to eat at TDEE-20% (1340cals) and my weight stayed the same as last week. Just wondering if anyone could share their experience with me. When you upped your calories, did you gain weight at first and how long did it take for it…

Fitbit and TDEE question
I got a Fitbit Zip last week and so far, because of my job and daily walks have been averaging 15-17,000 steps/day. I've synced it with MFP and it has been giving me 700 extra calories. I have not been eating the extra calories because, to my understanding, your TDEE already includes activity. I just eat to TDEE-20% and…

Neverending Plateau + Wendie Plan
I've been following Weight Watchers for six years. The first 2 years it worked great. I'm 5'2, 135lbs. I made it to 120, then gained it back and haven't been able to lose it since. I've joined WW about half a dozen times, but each time I never lose and I give up. Nevertheless, I've been tracking my 20 points every single…

Another disappointing week...suggestions?
I just about cried stepping on the scale today because I've gone up 1.5lbs. Would someone be kind enough to check out my progress report and maybe see what the problem is?

Going away for the weekend--Advice on not losing control?
I'm going away for the weekend with a friend who eats differently than me (doesn't count calories or anything), and every time we're together I seem to lose all my will power. I'll crave candy, chocolate, fries--everything I don't even consider eating usually. Does anyone have this problem when they hang out with certain…
